C O M A P R I L / M AY 2 0 1 9 Sally Draughon AS INTERIOR DESIGNER and owner of Previews Interiors & Antiques in Macon, Sally Draughon knows how to translate interior design into fashion feng shui. Her favorite outfits include either a white top or white pants with a pop of color. "I really like color, and my favorite color is orange. So, I definitely wear color more than I wear neutrals," she said. "I also love a white shirt. You can wear it with pearls and a dressy pair of pants or with jeans and a scarf." Her advice for cleaning out your wardrobe is that if you haven't worn it in two years, throw it out. e University of Georgia alumnus and Maconite is passionate about her purpose and her projects. "My job is my hobby," she said. "I love what I do and enjoy getting to meet new people. I started out with interiors and added clothing to my shop. It feels good to see people try on clothes that make them feel happy," she said, adding that her biggest piece of advice to her customers is to wear what makes you feel comfortable. "Comfort leads to confidence," she said. "If you're comfortable in what you're wearing, you're going to feel confident." Her suggestion for staples includes a great white shirt and Jackie Kennedy Onassis' favorite accessory: pearls. "I believe every woman should own pearls. It doesn't matter if they're real or fake," she said. "Strings of pearls make any outfit fabulous. Accessories, to me, totally make an outfit." Draughon's advice for clothing carries over into her home décor as well. "Your guests should feel like they can drink red wine and you're not going to freak out about it. You want people to feel like they can come sit on your couch and put their feet up. You don't want them to feel like your home is too stiff to enjoy it," she said. "I like color and I think knowing what colors flatter you personally is very important. e people who are most happy in their homes usually decorate with the colors that they wear."
