Philanthropist and chairwoman of the board for Sarasota Memorial Healthcare Foundation, Margaret Wise sports classic clothing that carries her through events and meetings. As the co-founder of Designing Women Boutique, a charitable organization that supports arts and human services, Wise has a knack for fashion and sticks
with what she likes.
"I think my style is eclectic. I buy what I like and generally gravitate toward color. I like more classic looks, but if I see something out of the ordinary that I like, I'm not afraid to wear it." - Margaret Wise
CHARLES DAVID SHOES
"I like high heels because I like to feel tall. These are a little funky but look great with pants or a skirt."
CHRIS KOLE DRESS
"I really like the way this gown fits as well as the way the tail kicks out at the bottom."
DIANA E. KELLY SHOES
"Diana is from Sarasota, and I love supporting local designers. These are great heels that are so comfortable."
FRENCH SOLE SHOES
"I get these in London - they are so great and mold to your feet. These flats are my casual, everyday shoes."
JADE BY JASMINE DRESS
"I got this dress at Designing Women Boutique and wear it to black-tie events. It's so comfortable - if it's not comfortable, I don't wear it."
MARY FRANCES HANDBAG
"This is my fun bag to take out at night."
MOSCHINO DRESS AND JACKET
"I add the matching jacket when I feel like I need to be more ladylike. I wear this for business meetings."
NIKKI SEDACCA NECKLACE
"This is one of Nikki's earlier pieces. It's pearl with twin blistered pearl. Gorgeous."
ORDELIA TOP
"I like to shop locally when I travel, and I got this on a girls trip, so it reminds me of a happy time. It's a Carmel, Calif., designer, and I've continued to order from her."
PIN COLLECTION
"All of these pins or broaches have been given to me as gifts; it's something that caught on. If I wear something more plain, all I need to do is stick on a pin to add some color."
VALENTINO DRESS
"I am really drawn to the color, and the belt is a great addition as well."
