FEBRUARY 2010 BY LUCY PRITCHETT PHOTOS: MELISSA DONALD FEBRUARY 2010 --WHERE WE MET:- -Fifth Third Bank   ReNita Baker, 47, customer service representative and trainer with Fifth Third Bank. She is married to Derry Baker and is mother to daughters Desiree, 25, and Derrika, 28; son, Derry Jr., 23. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS YOUR CLOTHING STYLE? Retro Chic. I really like the styles from the ‘60s and ‘70s. I realized recently that I have a lot of black and grey in my closet. And khaki and white for summer. I want to incorporate more color. I shop at Banana Republic, LVL X (Level 10), H & M in Indianapolis and Anthropologie. I always want to shop when we go out of town. I don’t shop online. TW: YOU HAVE GREAT SKIN. WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE? RENITA:I hate to admit this, but I just use soap and water. I wash my face with Mia Bella Gourmet Cleansing Bar, a soy soap. And I just started using a moisturizer. One that my daughter had — Oil of Olay, I think. I have never had a facial. TW: WHICH HAIRSTYLE IS YOUR GO-TO ONE? RENITA:I wear my hair mid-length. I love it pulled straight back off my face. I get my hair done usually once a week at Ultimate Touch Salon on Brownsboro Road. Sometimes I just let it go naturally curly and use styling foams and curling gels. (Laughs.) I style it according to my need for color touch-ups. TW: YOUR MAKEUP IS FLAWLESS. WHAT BRAND DO YOU USE? RENITA: MAC. My complexion is difficult to match, and I can’t use just any foundation. MAC is perfect for me — foundation, blush, lipstick, eyeliner, and eyeshadow. The colors are more vibrant, and they have a large selection. I tend to go for the teals and purples and gold eye shadows. My mom was a girly-girl, and I have been wearing makeup since I was 16. I learned through trial and error. I sometimes may have looked like Mimi on Drew Carey, but really, I believe that less is better. TW: DARE I MENTION SHOES? RENITA: I am not a major shoe person. I don’t like to spend much on shoes. I am most comfortable in a shoe with a platform and heavier heel. Not pumps. They are hard to walk in. And not stiletto heels either. Peep toe shoes usually have a platform and are comfortable. Nordstrom’s has a fabulous shoe collection. Carlos Santana has great colors. And I like the Jessica Simpson collection. TW: WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHOICE OF ACCESSORIES? RENITA: I like retro-looking bracelets and earrings. Metal on Mellwood has a great collection of jewelry. Scout on Market Street has wonderful hats that are invaluable for a bad hair day. And Betsey Johnson jewelry is fun and quirky. I wear gold, silver, colors, and animal print jewelry. I don’t do small earrings. The longer, the better.
