We are happy to announce a new section on Wardrobe Detectives. Since we started our website, we had a chance to discover a lot of stylish people in our community. We want to celebrate their style, their point of view on fashion and their fabulous collections of what we love most here – clothes. We want to celebrate Our People. Please welcome to the fabulous closet of our first guest Michele Beitel, mom, businesswoman and a great wife.
On her closet…My closet was a fun renovation project that took on a life of its own. The more I researched the more it evolved. Every bit of available space was used making it not only elegant but functional. In the end, it was exactly what we wanted, a mixture of masculine and girly spaces and enough storage for all seasons for past, present and future sizes that I have a hard time parting with! you just never know…right?!
On colors and prints…99% of us can pull off black and have the majority of it in our closets, make sure to add a pop of colour with a red lip, a patterned, edgy or bright pump. A statement jacket that makes you stand out and feel confident. Everyone has at least one colour that compliments their personality.
On her inspiration…A mixture of Katherine Hepburn on her strong masculine dressing and the classical elegance of Grace Kelly with a modern twist killer shoes and my daughters approval.
On her personal style…Depending on my mood and my day, I can be casual and playful in jeans and vibrant patterns or colours. Most of the time I just like to look classy and put together.
On shopping…whether it’s for a certain item, a particular event or a new season and trend, it is interesting to see the creativity of designers! The leading edge in styles, how they are marketed and displayed. I could make shopping a job I would love and be pretty good at! I think my friends would agree!
On her collection of shoes…Shoes never let you down, they are a piece of art for your feet, there are new styles, a new piece of art for every season.
On her daily dressing routine…Keep it simple and elegant.On the power of the clothes…If it fits well, and you like what you see in the mirror an outfit makes you feel empowered and confident.
