I had the honor of meeting up with Elizabeth Edwards a few weeks ago along with my blogmates over at the Silicon Valley Moms Blog. We had met her before, and both times I noticed how she took the time to shake everyone's hand. She has an amazing way of making us all feel completely engaged with her articulate discussion of the issues and at the same time comfortable enough to feel as though we are having coffee with friends.
This time she not only shook my hand, but she also complimented my jacket. Which is funny because I did spend some time trying to decide on the appropriate outfit to wear to meet a presidential candidate's wife. Elizabeth Edwards always has an elegant style and chooses jewel tone colors like teal. I decided to wear one of my favorite jackets, the Nanette Lepore Bell Sleeve Knit Coat from last year's collection.
This made me curious to look at the Nanette Lepore jackets available for Fall 2007 and saw that "bubble sleeves" are the new "bell" sleeve along with the classic styles. I found this Brushstroke Brocade Jacket, and thought of Elizabeth Edwards because of the fabulous teal color and because it has a sort of First Lady style. I have found interesting Nanette Lepore collections locally at Romi Boutique in Palo Alto (where I purchased my Bell Sleeve Knit Coat), Nordstrom and Calla in Menlo Park.
