After campaigning for her husband, state Rep. Doug Holder, Shannon Holder took a break to discuss her love of fashion. The former fashion model and mother of two children can gracefully transition her look from casual-mom mode, to a politician's wife, to a night out on the town.
SHANNON'S MUST-HAVES FOR FALL
- A great pair of boots - 'I'm loving the over-the-knee look.'
- A great scarf
- A great tracksuit - 'My favorite is Twisted Heart.'
- A big, cozy, open shawl cardigan - 'My everyday staple.'
- 'A must ... your loved ones to snuggle with and keep you warm!'
Shannon Holder: 'I love fashion; it's in my heart. You won't get just one look from me - I wear many hats of fashion. I dress for myself and what looks and feels good on me.'
W. DOUBLE U DOT DRESS
'I got this on a trip to Taiwan. It's my staple dress for political events. It makes a statement but not in an aggressive way - it's simple.'
KATE SPADE CLUTCH
'A friend just gave this to me for my birthday. I love big bags for during the day but switch to clutches for going out at night.'
MICHAEL KORS WATCHES
'I love big watches and making a statement.'
CARTIER BELT
'This was a gift from my husband, he has incredible taste. I love big statement pieces, I don't like simple jewelry.'
ROBERTO CAVALLI PANTS
'These are from my young, going-out days. They are so fun and edgy.'
J. CREW SCARF
'Scarves are great accessories. You can put them over jeans and a T-shirt and instantly dress it up. This scarf can completely change up an outfit.'
UNDER ARMOUR RUNNING WEAR
'I'm a runner, so this is a typical daily outfit for me. Running is my stress releaser.'
PRADA BOOTS
'These are my favorite boots from Italy. I love boots, because they are so classic. What's not to love about them? I wear these with jeans or with a dress.'
DOLCE AND
GABBANA BLAZER
'This is from Rome. It's different and it's my favorite blazer. I wear it with jeans and boots for a night out. Italy is one of my favorite places - I just love its fashion, because it fits me so well.'
EVA VARRO DRESS
'I got this at Olivia, on St. Armands Circle, and it's a great dress with which to travel, because it can be rolled up and come out perfectly.'
SPORTSTAFF JACKET
'This was one of the first pieces I bought for myself in Italy when I was modeling. I have had it 15 years, but it's one of those pieces that still works. It means a lot to me; it's sentimental.'
