Fashion has always been about having gun with your clothes and accessories. For many, its an escape even. According to Elaine Newman (resident of Margate, Fl.), told Refinery29 "Heads should turn", says Elaine Newman. "I like things with flair. I like that someone goes 'wow' when they look at you. I don't ever want to melt into the background, ever, which is why I will never wear beige."
Refinery29 met with Newman and some of her Floridian neighbors who have a similar perspective when it comes to fashion. These women love to flash their gorgeous accessories and handbags to the world.
Here is Louise Levine one of Newman's neighbors, sporting a cat purse by designer Anna Sui.
Levine told Refinery29, "I like the animal print, even though I didn't in the beginning. But I thought it was extremely fashionable. I loved the bags with the cats, I thought it was classy. I felt it was good with my outfit."
