There will always be room in my closet for a great chunky cardigan. No matter how in style or out of the style the look is. I will lounge around in the chunky cardigan, I will grocery shop in the chunky cardigan and I will even work in the chunky cardigan. Thank goodness the look is in style at the moment. And thank goodness for Stella McCartney’s amazing classic long chunky lace cardigan that is currently available at Neiman Marcus.

It is a tobacco lace knit color that is long enough to go over a great mini dress or some fun funky leggings. There are even some patch pockets on the side to slip your often cold hands in. The cardigan is currently priced at $1,285. That’s a bit pricey, but for this time of year and for Stella McCartney I may go for it. What do you all think about it?

Ashley Shute spends eight hours a day working as a blue jean and t-shirt wearing community organizer in San Antonio. The other 16 hours are dedicated to dreaming about and shopping for the latest luxury fashions. Her style icon is Jacqueline Kennedy; classic, clean, and always professional. You will never find a fake bag in her closet and she wants a collection of Manolo Blahnik shoes before she turns 30.

There is little question as to Michelle Obama’s fashion prowess, but he judgement maybe a bit lacking. After all how does she justify wearing $450 sneakers to volunteer at a food bank. Isn’t that just a bit insensitive to the very poor people she is trying to help?

According to the NY Daily News: “Michelle Obamahas taken casual to a haute new level.

While volunteering Wednesday at a D.C. food bank, the First Lady sported her usual J.Crewcardigan, a pair of utilitarian capri pants and, on her feet, a sneaky splurge: trainers that go for $540.

That’s right: These sneakers – suede, with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic pink toe caps – are made by French design house Lanvin, one of fashion’s hottest labels. They come in denim and satin versions, and have been a brisk seller all spring.”

She could have worn a $40 pair of Keds, and given the extra $400 to the poor.

Michelle certainly has a style unlike any first lady since Jackie Kennedy. Now she just needs to work on her tact a bit and she will be a great first lady.
