Brenda Michel, co-owner and women's-wear buyer of The Met Fashion House and Day Spa, is the epitome of classic style. The mother of two does not jump on every current trend but updates her classic look with modern accents to allow her to navigate from mom duties to professional settings.
"My style tends to be more classic but with a modern infusion." - Brenda Michel
TORY BURCH TUNIC
"I love to wear tunics with denim or leggings. They are a comfortable and an easy look. These are great for summer and a good way to look polished but still be casual."
CHANEL HANDBAG
"This hot pink is a trend color for fall. It's a classic bag - I have it in black, too - but this one is fun."
CRAIG TAYLOR DRESS
"This is a classic shirt dress and probably the oldest dress in my closet. This is a must in my wardrobe, because it's a casual look, but it's also an appropriate look for everything from going to the store to going out to dinner."
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG DRESS
"DVF dresses can go from flats to heels at night. I think prints are very personal, and this print is so fun to me. I love it."
BURBERRY SHIRT
"Everyone needs a crisp white blouse. The ruffles make it feminine and not too serious. It looks great under a black suit but also with jeans."
CHRISTIAN
LOUBOUTIN SHOES
"These shoes have a beautiful silhouette and go with everything year-round."
CARTIER WATCH
"A watch is an important part of a wardrobe for me. I notice watches on people; I feel it's a statement of who you are. It's something you keep forever."
RALPH LAUREN JEANS
"These are well-tailored designer jeans. The cut of designer denim definitely has a more luxurious feel. A dark jean is great for everyone's wardrobe."
ROBERT RODRIGUEZ SKIRT
"I don't normally wear things like this, but it's such a fun party skirt. It really stands out in my closet."
VINTAGE NECKLACE
"I love turquoise because it's such a warm stone. I wear this at different lengths and even as a bracelet. It's a great year-round piece."
