Fashion Mama: Five Fabulous Fashion Finds
By Michelle Thompson, nwaMotherlode fashion editor
My first choice that I just must share with you is a website that I am completely in love with. It is Ideeli.com and it features majorly discounted items from top designers. We are talking Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana, Betsey Johnson, and Tahari just to name a few.
These items are marked down usually 60% to 75%. I do recommend making sure that you check the Eligibility for Return on the item you wish to purchase. They even have children’s fashion on the site as well from time to time. I ordered my oldest daughter, Macy, a pair of leopard and cherry print rain boots that were off-the-charts cute. So ENJOY!!!!!!!!
These shoes (below) are the perfect Girl’s Night Out shoe!!! In fact I just wore them out last Friday night with my favorite girls. They are BCBG and you can get them at Belk’s in Rogers for $89.99. I dream about these shoes I love them so much. They are platforms too, so they really are comfortable; not volunteer at your child’s school all day comfortable, but hang out with your friends at a fabulous restaurant comfortable.
Okay, I know this favorite might be too much for some, but I do love this trend, and I think there are sooooo many options available for each and every body type. THE ROMPER!!!!!!!
Every summer I pick a specific clothing item, usually a sundress of a certain flattering style, and buy several of them. I call it my “uniform”, which as all of you moms know, things run the smoothest when you don’t have to over think every little decision, especially getting dressed in the morning. I pick these cute little numbers, which I call my uniforms, so I can optimize my summertime with the kiddos.
The most important thing to do when you pick an item and buy several of them is ACCESSORIZE!!! Change it up with fun, bold necklaces, scarves, bracelets or bohemian earrings. This year I think the Romper is my summer uniform pick. They are soooo cute on! My best friend, who is anti-romper, actually said that she would wear this cute cheetah print romper from Victoria’s Secret. The other romper from my fashion floor came from Target. Have fun with this one, and keep an open mind.
This little trio from NY and Co. just screams, Spring is here!!!! The bracelet is just gorgeous with all of it’s ornate detail, and the ring is just a globe of flowers and fun. The earrings are perfect petals to adorn your ears. Also, at NY and Co., the jewelry is Buy One get the second piece at 75% off. What a steal!!!!!!
I couldn’t resist adding these adorable leopard, twinkly-toed, high-tops for girls from Paris Blues. My daughter and I first saw them at Marshall’s in Tulsa, but they didn’t have her size. She was, of course, devastated (ha!), so I went on the hunt and found them at Sears.com for $19.99. They have grosgrain ribbon shoelaces and leopard jewels on the toes…it just doesn’t get much cuter than that.

Wow! Glad to know I’m not so off on my fashion sense… I was checking out a romper at Target last week myself. Fun, new “expert advice” that I’ll enjoy reading! Keep it up. =)
