Hello Spring! A Soft and Subtle Statement
Fashion statements can be made in different ways whether that’s through neutrals or colors, or the subtlety of color and accent pieces. As a nod to RBG, today I wear a collared necklace and a soft neutral outfit.
Women’s History Month Drip: Comfortable and Capable
In celebration of Women’s History Month I decided to do a deep dive into some cases that pushed the women’s movement forward. READING femme literature keeps my spirits rising and my mind sharp, SURROUNDING myself with powerful and capable women keeps me encouraged that we are making a difference, and today, WEARING this comfortable gold toned outfit styled by @mabouata to remind me of the high standards in my practice and life.
How did you celebrate?
Femme Friday
Let’s talk about FEMINISM. Sometimes misinterpreted as “man-bashing,” the advocacy of women's rights is actually pro-EQUAL rights. That can be interpreted as equal pay for equal work, celebrating one’s femininity, or standing up for unfair rights and unfair/illegal treatment of women, men, and/or those identifying as LGBTQ+. Last week I got to discuss my philosophy of feminism on a Zoom panel along with my experiences that formed the identity. To me, being “Zoom ready” means looking professional AND having the credentials to back up your claims. On days like this, I often make sure I’m “Zoom ready”, the top with a bodysuit and smart blazer and the bottom with my favorite @madewell jeans to feel comfortable and at ease.
Tuesday Takeover: Kristin Richards
Let me introduce the stylish and savvy Kristin Richards to Maz Modern’s Tuesday Takeover. Kristin is an accomplished civil litigator that has a fashion sense to be envied and admired. She’s always got on a “gram-worthy look” and didn’t skip a beat after the birth of her sweet baby girl Memphis. And with that, I hope you’re inspired by my fashionista friend Kristin Richards.
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.
Tuesday Takeover: Diana Riner
Let me introduce the sweet and spicy Diana Riner to Takeover Tuesday. I know her as an old friend from law school that I have watched bloom through social media. In the past 14 years, she's become a mama to 2 and General Counsel for a company in Georgia. Aside from her professional growth, she's most recently acheived #weightlossgoals (lost 80+ lbs) and is paying it forward as a health coach at @dknlaw. Inspired by her transformation and style, let me pass the mic to the sweetest Georgia peach I know, Diana Riner. #takeovertuesday #mazmodern
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.
Let there be Spring Break
COVID captivity got you down? Meeee too. I think everyone feels that way. Lucky for me, I’m already out on the beach on Spring break. My first Spring Break since law school. Wish me luck…I don’t have the stamina I used to 3 kids later.
