After retiring to Florida from Boston, Audrey Coleman has already made her mark on Sarasota's arts-and-philanthropy organizations. The founder of The Society Inc. has a distinctive, elegant style and is always put together - no matter where she's going.
Audrey Coleman: "My style is elegant, but sophisticated.
I always want to look my best and take good care
of myself."
YOLANDA SUIT
"I got this suit at an upscale boutique in Boston - I could always find one-of-a-kind things there. This jacket really makes a statement."
ST. JOHN SUIT
"I need this particular color for The Society because our colors are peach and cream. I saw this suit as I came up an escalator in a department store and it was just perfect."
STINGRAY LEATHER HANGBAG
"This purse is made with stingray - each piece is different, so I like knowing that there's not another one exactly like mine out there."
MARY FRANCIS HANDBAG
"This purse is ostentatious, but it goes perfectly with a lot of the less ostentatious suits that I wear. It makes a fun statement."
FIESTA HAT
"I bought this in San Antonio, because I really wanted to buy a Texas hat while I was there. It's plain, but elegant, and brings out the little bit of cowgirl in me."
VINTAGE
NECKLACE
"This is very elegant. The necklace enhances the richness of the material of a gold-metallic suit I wear it with."
ELSA PERETTI
BRACELET
"This bracelet from Tiffany & Co. was given to me as a thank you because I chaired a national convention for The Links. I like the movement of this cuff."
VINTAGE NECKLACE
"This necklace is as old as the hills, but I just love it and its colors. I wear a lot of chokers."
ST. JOHN SUIT
"I have worn this to cocktail parties, but I don't wear it too often, because people remember it. It's very flamboyant - I like the color and the material."
TOSHIKO DRESS
"I had this Japanese designer custom make this dress for my son's wedding. It was the perfect mother-of-the-groom dress."
