By Lauren Clark Michelle Stinnett is dressed for a Christmas party.

LITTLE ROCK — Michelle Stinnett is attending a holiday concert hosted by some of her good friends. Her "classic chic" style is dressy enough for a night out, but maintains her professional image. Stinnett is a mortgage broker in Benton by day, but planned to do a bit of networking at the party while socializing with other guests.

The black and white color scheme is a classic look as polka dots are a timeless favorite. Her sheer, puff-sleeve blouse is from Forever 21. The bowtie neck is a splendid trend this year and adds just a little texture. Her vest and pants are from Banana Republic, one of her favorite stores. She gets most of her basics from there and likes to add to them with accessories from other shops.

On this chilly night, her black, wool Preston and York beret is a dapper addition to her outfit. She put her personal touch on the hat by adding a floral pin from Target. Her tall black patent BCBG heels allow her step out in style - and perfectly accompany her long trouser pants.

She carries a black leather Prada bag. She has quite a collection of designer pieces. She loves to shop and uses the Internet and stores alike to mix and match the latest trends into her classic wardrobe. She keeps accessories minimal with a large cocktail ring, watch and wedding ring.
