Make 2011 a year of truly embracing your personal style. Yes, many of us buy from Target, Old Navy and Kohls for their budget-friendly prices but that doesn’t mean that you have to look like every other mom on the playground! Mix and match. Layer! Shop thrift stores and consignment shops for other unique, budget-friendly finds. Pair new with vintage. Discover who you are in fashion. Take inspiration from those who’s style you love but don’t copy them…make the look your own!
If you need help figuring out what you signature style is, I recommend two books: Dressing Your Truth by Carol Tuttle and How to Have Style
Elaine Mellencamp wears Michelle Marocco designs
I am absolutely crazy about this look pulled off by Elaine Mellencamp! She is totally rocking a funky vibe that really represents her individuality! Take inspiration from Elaine and find your own fashion groove. No one needs to live in a “cookie-cutter” world when it comes to fashion! Express yourself!
I found this picture of Elaine on MichelleMarocco.com. Michelle makes jewelry and that is sold on Etsy. Elaine purchased some of Michelle’s pieces so if you love this look on Elaine, you’ll love Michelle’s jewelry. While prices are certainly above the budget-friendly styles of Shop Suey Boutique, Target and Marshalls, remember, you are looking to find a signature piece to set yourself apart this year. Invest in something you truly love and it will be in your wardrobe for years to come! And, when you invest in something handcrafted, you can be sure it will be special!
