YETTA GIBSON CHILDREN: Jayla (step-daughter), 12; Slye, 4; and Eva, 1 WHAT YOU DO DURING THE DAY: I host a show called The NOW Arizona weekdays at 4 p.m. on ABC15. BEST THING ABOUT BEING A MOM: Being able to experience love on a totally different level… and seeing the essence of yourself in their eyes as they grow up. THE ONE THING NO ONE TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT BEING A MOM: That you spend all of your waking and sleeping hours thinking, wondering, and worrying about your kids. There will never be any TRUE relaxation anymore. HOW DO YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN? My favorite place to spend time with them is at home. My favorite time to spend time with them is in the morning, the beginning of the day! HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR FASHION STYLE? Casual chic, super funky fresh. YOUR GO-TO TYPES OF OUTFITS ARE: Jeans, a blazer, heels, and spiky wild hair. YOUR GUILTY FASHION INDULGENCE? One hundred percent makeup. I’m an unofficial makeup artist, you know. HEELS OR NO HEELS? Secretly no heels. But you’ll never catch me without a pair on TV. Sometimes I rock yellow NEON pumps during the news! WHERE ARE YOUR FAVORITE PLACES TO SHOP? Hands down: ZARA, DSW, Last Chance, BCBG, Macy’s. FAVORITE DESIGNERS? BCBG and ZARA. DID YOUR KIDS INHERET YOUR SENSE OF FASHION? My girls like to REALLY dress up. The fancy necklaces, rings, crazy accessories, foofy skirts, dresses, fancy shoes, the whole 9! WHAT’S THE KEY TO JUGGLING FASHION AND MOTHERHOOD? Make it easy. For me, the fit has to be comfy all the way down to the highest heel. Comfy first, stylish second. As long as it’s cute and comfy, I’m good! I try to stay away from really trendy pieces… oh, and white pants, white shirts– forget about it. ONE PIECE OF STYLE ADVICE YOU’D PASS ON TO YOUR DAUGHTERS: Go against the grain. Be different. Don’t buy the pieces everyone else wears. Come up with your own super funky fresh style.
