Michael Kors flats offer a chic choice for everyday casual or stand-out style.  Three great styles, the Ontario, Venus and Naples, show that you can wear flats anytime and be both comfortable and cute.  The Ontario shoe, a bright zebra stripe shoe is perfect for Saturday night with a black miniskirt or minidress.  The Venus shoe, a black snakeskin flat, is that perfect work shoe you’ll grab again and again.  The Naples shoe is a gorgeous nude flat with tiny geometrical cutouts that will look gorgeous with skinny jeans.

Which would you choose?

MICHAEL by Michael Kors Moxley Satchel

The MICHAEL Michael Kors Moxley Satchel can be carried as a cross-body (with a long detachable strap) or satchel with the double zipper-embellished short straps. The vanilla shade is perfect for summer and is accented beautifully by its gold hardware. A great size for carrying all of your daily essentials in style (13″ x 6.75″ x 6.25″), it isn’t so large that it is uncomfortable on your hip as a cross-body bag.

MICHAEL by Michael Kors Moxley Clutch

The Moxley clutch has the same zipper embellishments as the Moxley satchel but the small form-factor makes it perfect for evening. The python-print and patent leather adds some shine while the basic black will still go with everything in your closet. The gold hardware looks bright and festive for evening. The inside of the clutch is lined with a rich gold metallic fabric.

Michael Kors Skorpios Tote

The soft over-sized Skorpios tote is a delight for those of us who love to carry our lives in our handbags.  A detachable shoulder strap and braided double handles let you choose how to carry your bag. The gathers look relaxed and the gold-toned hardware makes this camel tote an instant classic.

Denim leggings are the new comfortable, yet sexy item that will take you stylishly from winter into spring.  With all the comfort of stretchy leggings, jeggings (as this jeans-leggings hybrid is also called) offer the classic, versatile styling of skinny jeans.  The first step to pulling off this trend is picking the right denim legging for you.  Dark styles that slim and lengthen are my favorite.  The Hudson Jeans jeggings, top left, and Paige Denim jeggings, top right, are a great pick for all body types.

Once you’ve found your perfect pair of jeggings, how will you wear them?  Here are three ways to incorporate denim leggings into your wardrobe.

The Sophisticate
The sophisticated look is all about dressing up the jeggings, like you would dress up jeans.
Add a pair of sleek pumps and a tailored blazer over a long top.  Platform heels are a great choice.

Vince Roll Sleeve Shrunken Blazer, $445

Jessica Simpson Michaela Platform Pump, starting at $53.76

The Casual Classic
The casual classic look is very Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O, swapping in denim leggings for their black cigarette pants.  Add a long striped top (nautical stripes are hot right now) and a pair of cute ballet flats, like Tory Burch’s Reva or Steve Madden’s Heavenly Flat.

BCBGMAXAZRIA Long Strip Tee, $68

Madden Girl Heavenly Patent Flat, $39.95

The Girl Out on the Town

For a night out, add to the sexiness of the sleek silhouette of denim leggings with a sparkly top and our favorite hot shoe, the OTK boot.  On a tight budget?  Check out this sequined tunic from a.n.a., it’s just $19.99!  If you want less shimmer, try the Zoa Sequin Panel Tunic.  The sequin design is limited to one shoulder/sleeve.  It would look great with some silver bangles or a cuff bracelet on the other arm.

As any good Project Runway fan knows, Michael Kors is a top American designer. He’s been designing gorgeous, classic clothing for women since the early 1980’s.  What many plus size women don’t realize is that Michael Kors also designs plus size women’s clothes under his MICHAEL Michael Kors label.

The line of clothes, sold at Macys and Bloomingdales, is a similar aesthetic to what you see in his straight sized women’s line.  The current pieces you can shop for online include jeans, dresses and blouses.  Current trends like animal print, polka dots and asymmetrical necklines appear in the line and prices are moderate, on average under $50-100 per piece.
