Embrace Your Inner Flamingo
When I first started my law practice I was intentional about offering a different type of service to my clients: one that builds relationships, is accessible, and offers hope in the darkest moments.
Part of my messaging as a business owner and as a lawyer is how I choose to show up every day…but what do you wear for that role and stay authentic to you? Enter @melanielippman - a stylist for professional women. In the new few months Melanie Lippman and I have decided to collab on some outfits to give you a feel of what it’s like to work with a stylist and re-invent looks from items in my closet in a stylish way.
Springing Into Norooz
The world is changing and it feels like a new beginning which is perfect timing for the Persian New Year known as “Norooz”. Tomorrow will mark the Spring Equinox, the first day of Spring, and the first day of the Persian New Year. Check out how we are springing into Norooz with this modest fashion look.
Luck has Nothing to Do With It
Hard work gets a bad rep. It’s got a negative connotation that says it’s exhausting, not fun, and leads to a life with means, but without pleasure. Most that achieve success “in style” are said to have “luck.” I am here, in my new office, to declare that is simply not true. Hard work is empowering especially when it is paired with accomplishment and success at doing something you love.
Tuesday Takeover: Joni Stewart
If you have followed Joni Stewart on social media you have noticed that she is always looking “classy” (pun intended) in every situation. Whether she’s getting ready for work as a secondary teacher, dressing up her adorable kiddos, or meeting up with friends after hours, I have always looked at her effortless style with admiration and often coveted her clothing choices. Where did she get her fashion sense and inspiration? Well today, we are finally getting some answers! I’m pleased to introduce the beautiful Ms. Joni Stewart to Maz Modern to present her flair for fashion.
Tuesday Takeover: Danne Johnson
My first year of law school I was lucky enough to take Professor Johnson’s Civil Procedure class where her training as a former litigator for the SEC served her well in training young lawyers to be sharp and ready. Along with managing her classroom and her household as a mama of two, she’s become a mentor to many female students in the OCU Law community, including myself. She’s earned a reputation for leading with authenticity and giving back to her community through her philanthropy, leadership, and commitment to changing the cultural climate to create a more humane future. Most recently, she’s leveled up her lead with her new organization Our Work, LLC focused on diversity and inclusion training in the workplace. Allow me to introduce the stylish, confident, and fierce trailblazer Danne Johnson to takeover this Tuesday.
Bienvenidos a Miami - 405 Style
It’s date night in OKC. The ever-changing and cruel winter weather has given us a break. The sun is out and lucky for my husband I am in a mood—a great one— and it is because I fell in love.
Outfit Inspo: Legally Blonde
Any 90’s teen girl remembers THE professional fashion icon in pink; Legally Blonde’s Elle Woods. Elle was busy taking over the legal world in her bright pink suit and symbolically climbing the steps of Capitol Hill with her little dog Bruiser. What seemed like a caricature of a typical LA girl with big dreamz quickly inspired so many young women to know that a legal career was not beyond possibility with enough sass, tenacity, and focus. For a teenage girl, Elle was the girl that raised the stakes, with fashion, in the legal world. In honor of this iconic legal character, we bring you a suit so divine, even Elle would give us snaps. 😘
Tuesday Takeover: Tee Hunter
Today, the stunning Tee Hunter is taking over the blog. She is a badass, no-nonsense attorney and business owner that uses her wit and creative arguments to problem-solve, to the benefit of her clients. What I love about Tee is her ability to shut out the noise and do her; she’s a non-conformist, has a shark-like focus and work ethic, and is in sick shape which shows she is very disciplined. I’m excited to introduce Tee to the Maz Mavens and display her strong style on this Tuesday Takeover.
Outfit Inspo: Stacey Plaskett
Cape Dress of Democracy
Legal and Regal. Her words alone were not the only showcase during this week’s impeachment hearings. Her outfit was on point and noticed by American women everywhere who couldn’t help but to comment on her fierce “like a boss” look while “defending democracy in a cape.”
Outfit Inspo: Meghan Markle mixed with 80’s Drama
“Dear Diary: My teen angst bullshit now has a body count,” because of this drop dead look. Know that you can do a bold color combo with no reservation because the 80s are back in 2021.
With this Meghan Markle inspired look, “nobody’s gonna put baby in the corner.”
You can buy this look, even if you Can’t Buy Me Love. Happy Valentine’s Weekend! xoxo - Katherine
