Jane Pleiman of West Harrison, Ind., is a big fan of the silver jewelry bargains on the cable shopping channel QVC.

        “Every Sunday, they have a silver show, and I always watch it,” says the program analyst, 52, who works for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Corryville.

        “They have excellent quality pieces,” she says of QVC. “I love the gem stones and matching my jewelry to my outfits.”

        You can be found shopping at: Kmart. I might stop there every other month. Mostly I go when I get the urge to buy something new. It cheers me up.

        Signature look: I wear a lot of separates — skirts and blouses — and I love scarves or jewelry that match or accent the outfit.

        Earliest fashion memory: Back when I started working, in about 1968, I bought this black-and-white check outfit with black boots, to the knee.

        You wouldn't be caught dead in: Sweat suits. I think they're sloppy looking and they don't bring out your best qualities.

        Best bargain: I've been able to find really pretty Christmas sweaters at a reasonable price, instead of $70-$80. I like to dress for the holidays — Halloween and Christmas are my favorites.

        You can never have enough: Jewelry, especially earrings and rings. I really do think jewelry makes the outfit.

        Favorite designers: I don't shop by designers. I just look, and if the clothes I like are in my price range, I buy them.

        Fashion philosophy: I really think you can dress very nicely without spending a lot of money. You just have to stick with the clothes that complement you and not get caught up in trends.

        Favorite finishing touch: A really nice silk scarf. I'm very color-oriented. When I shop, I visualize the outfit and try to find the accent pieces.
