When I stopped by Blockbuster earlier this week to drop off Eagle Eye and Stepbrothers (which, by the way, are both stellar movies), I happened to be on the prowl for a stylish St. Louisan. Lo and behold, I spotted Stella as she was browsing the new releases with her daughter. After chatting with her for a few minutes, I was even more impressed by what she had done with her look because she had pulled off her style by actually utilizing the gifts that her friends and relatives had given her for Christmas. Often, that horrible sweater that your mom gave you gets tucked away in a drawer until it makes its way to Goodwill, but not Stella's stylin' duds.

Here is what she was wearing (Because they were gifts, she's not sure where exactly everything was bought.):

Cape: Cashmere - present from friend
Purse: Coach - present from friend
Sweater: Chico's
Pin: present from aunt
Earrings: present from mom

See? Stella was literally workin' what her momma' gave her.

What Stella is concerned about - Comfort. It's what I dress for, and it's what I shop for.

What she likes wearing most - I love this cape because it's very comfortable and lightweight. It's easy to shop or do anything in, because I don't have to worry about carrying around a heavy coat.

Where she normally shops - Mainly Chico's and New York and Company

The trend she rocks - I love the animal print trend. (Notice her zebra-inspired sweater and faux fur trim on her cape.) I try to be pretty trendy.
