Planned or spontaneous dressing
Spontaneous!

Fishnet stockings.

Day to evening transition
Swap flats with heels and the big work bag with a clutch.

A sartorial thumb rule
Feel confident in whatever you wear and watch the flaws vanish.

Current fashion phase
I’m into trackpants right now.

A current trend you sport with a personal take
Comfortable clothes…but not big and loose…always well-fitted.

Your favourite dressing-up song
None, I only think about work and the occasion.

How important is it to dress your part in your line of work
Very! You cannot wear too much bling or be OTT in a hospital; it’s very inappropriate.
