Why Suits Should Be In Your Wardrobe

March 16, 2021 • 9 Comments

Still-Point-Gallery-Lurdes-Bergada

The first suit I ever owned was back in the early 80s (yes, I know I'm dating myself.) I bought a beautiful suit for my first job interview out of grad school. My mom loves to tell the story of how I was getting dressed for the interview and that's when I noticed the security tag … [Read more...] about Why Suits Should Be In Your Wardrobe

What I’m Wearing: Fringe

May 21, 2020 • Leave a Comment

Club Monaco black fringe skirt

Each season I usually end up focusing on one type of garment, such as cardigans, dusters, or dresses, and probably buy (definitely buy!) too many of the same item. Well, this season I decided to mix it up. I’m going to buy different types of clothing, but use styles I like … [Read more...] about What I’m Wearing: Fringe

What I’m Wearing: Ruffles

May 14, 2020 • 2 Comments

ruffles

Ruffles are so feminine and dainty and, when paired with the right accessories, can also be cool and fun. I love pairing hard and soft, flouncy and edgy. I like to wear ruffles with a jean or leather jacket, maybe sneakers or boots-something to make it look more current … [Read more...] about What I’m Wearing: Ruffles

My Kids Chose My Outfits

fashion by Nanushka

Let me start by saying that this post has taken me so long to get together. First getting all the kids to select their outfits. Then my daughter started taking pictures and in the middle of our shoot it started to rain. Next I wasn't feeling great and ended up being sick for four … [Read more...] about My Kids Chose My Outfits

Shoes, Glorious Shoes

Booties

I love shoes. I don’t know what else to say, I just do, and, umm, I have a lot. Some people love cars, some love food (well, I love food too), but I just really love shoes. I have other things I love (handbags and my family to name a couple), but shoes are high on my list. Lucky … [Read more...] about Shoes, Glorious Shoes

Spring is springing! It’s so beautiful to see al Spring is springing! It’s so beautiful to see all the trees blooming and the colors of the flowers are so stunning! Spring is such a time of hope and renewal and after the year we’ve had, much needed!  Now that I’m vaccinated and can get out I’m so excited to start wearing my clothes again. It’s like everything in my closet is brand new having worn nothing but sweats most of the year! Since we never know what the weather will be like here (the saying is “If you don’t like the weather in Cleveland, wait 5 minutes! 😂) I start out the day in layers. Swipe to see how I layered my @grayson button up over a jumpsuit. The fit on these button ups is amazing and they’re so comfortable. Use the code MICHELELEE for $25 off your full price order. I love the navy, but there are so many colors and patterns to choose from!  Hoping your day is filled with flowers, sunshine, and love.  🌺  ☀️  💕  ☀️  🌺  #clothesthatdontboreme #spring #springflowers #springblooms #grayson #gifted #springishere #springfashion #hope #flowers #sunshine #springclothes #wearyourwardrobe #buttonup #buttonupshirt #dresscomfy #wearwhatyoulove #dressinlayers #springdressing #jumpsuit #lifeisgood
