Michelle is immensely inspiring to me in how she incorporates extravagant fashion into her everyday life. Michelle dresses like this all the time – not just during fashion week. I’ve always said that it’s my dream to someday be in a position to wear Rodarte to the grocery store. Is there anything more fabulous than wearing heavily designed garments to engage in the most mundane life activities? Rodarte may be the apex, the top of the fashion mountain so to speak, but it’s more about letting your inner-self shine in the most basic environments. Not everyone (including me) can afford to wear designer clothing everyday so it’s important to remember simple ways to spice up your day-to-day ensembles. Wearing red lipstick to the office or clipping a vintage brooch onto a plain wool overcoat are easy ways to add flair to your everyday life.
After all, not everyone can be Michelle Harper – there is only one.
Yesterday I was wandering around the Loop street-style hunting while waiting to meet up with Andrea after work. When I turned the corner off of Michigan Avenue onto Washington Street I hit the jackpot. Writing a long caption seems sacrilege with a photo this stunning because it distracts from the image. Suffice it to say this picture is going to be framed and displayed inside my house, as it represents a turning point for me in my skills like Christian did last December.
