GUEST FASHION EDITOR: Dr. Allison Silver Schwartz

After living in scrubs for 14 years for her job as an emergency medicine physician, Dr. Allison Silver Schwartz has had to develop her personal style and think more about what to wear every day. The mother of three loves to be casual on a daily basis and is a devoted local shopper.

Dr. Allison Silver Schwartz:
Dr. Allison Silver Schwartz: "Generally, I'm very casual â€" a cargo pant and tank-top woman - that's really me. Because I dress so plain, I really like fashion-forward handbags as my accessory."
Patti Corcoran:
Patti Corcoran: "I'm not the least bit trendy. I like elegant and sexy - I'm usually in a dress, heels and pearls."
CALYPSO DRESS
CALYPSO DRESS "I can wear this with jeans or by itself with small or high heels. Every time I wear it people think it's a new dress, because it is so versatile. The Calypso line makes me feel like I'm at the beach, too."
TRACY REESE DRESS
TRACY REESE DRESS "I love this dress! I wore this to the first event I chaired and I just love the way it fits and the beading. It's the most feminine dress that I've ever worn."
DA-NANG CARGO PANTS
DA-NANG CARGO PANTS "I have resigned to myself that I'm a cargo pant, flip-flops and tank-top girl, so I started buying nicer versions, like this pair of silk cargo pants."
ISABELLA 
FIORE 
HANDBAG
ISABELLA FIORE HANDBAG "My sister-in-law gave this to me eight years ago. I remember her buying it for me and I love carrying it -�it has my sign on it too, Sagittarius.'
BCBG DRESS
BCBG DRESS "I bought this for my husband's birthday. Because I usually wear black, this white dress was so fresh. I'm Greek, and it reminded me of a toga."
BOTKIER 
HANDBAG
BOTKIER HANDBAG "I like that Target has designers designing for them. I'll buy any bag as long as it looks interesting."
LULU LEMON TOP
LULU LEMON TOP "This is my favorite exercise line from Canada - they use innovative fabrics while being technologically advanced and fashionable. If I have a new running outfit, I get excited to run; it recharges me."
SAKS FIFTH AVENUE SHOES
SAKS FIFTH AVENUE SHOES "My sister gave these to me; they are my 'so-not-me' fun shoes. The higher the better with my heels."
HAVIANAS FLIP-FLOPS
HAVIANAS FLIP-FLOPS "I have a flip-flop addiction and I love my Havianas from Simply Spoiled. I wear flip-flops every day, so I try to find ones that are a little nicer, like these, with rhinestones."
