ON THE STREET Meeting Nicky Schultz from one day to the next could throw up some varying clothing choices, she freely admits that what takes her fancy one day may not the next. One thing is for sure though, she’ll be wearing a natural fibre, declaring that acrylic makes her hair “stick up on end”. What are you wearing? Italian linen dress from Beacon Hill, Minx boots from Whitwells in Motueka and stripey socks from the market. My handbag is from a shop in Takaka. Someone gave me the scarf which I dyed and my glasses are Trelise Cooper from Pre Loved Style. What is your style? A mix. Anything goes. I decide when I get up if something works, and whether it looks good, or not. What suits me today might not suit me tomorrow. What is most of your wardrobe made up of? Colour. Natural fibres, good texture. I don’t go for acrylic things, and prefer to stick with natural materials if I can. What are you loving at the moment? Wearing scarves, and accessories. Accessories make an outfit. I’ve got two holes in one ear and three in the other, so I’m a mismatch. I’ve got a few pairs of different glasses, and I love frames which have colour and make a statement. Where do you buy most of your clothes from? I shop local, only because I don’t get away much. I never buy online. Stacey’s, Beacon Hill, Shine, Whitwells, Smile in Motueka, and Taylors for shoes are my local favourites. I also mix new clothes with second hand and have a dress maker who I have so much fun with. What is your all-time favourite purchase? I haven’t got an all-time favourite. I’ve got some pieces I’ve had for many years, like a pair of bright red boots which cost the earth but are still going. I’ll aim to buy quality but on a hell of a good special. Do you have a style rule you always obey? No. There are times I’ve thought ‘I’ll wear that today,’ but then think it won’t work. But then other times it does. My handbag has to be a bright colour. I will often match it to earrings, or my socks, or nothing at all. If you could raid one person’s wardrobe, who would it be? Iris Apfel Finish this sentence – You would never catch me wearing… Acrylic. It just sends me into a spin. My hair sticks up on end and it’s just not as nice to wear as other natural fibres.
