Things You'll Need

• Neutral-colored T-shirts Neutral-colored tanks Neutral-colored blazers White button-down Dark jeans Flip-flop sandals Sleeveless black dress Peep toe pumps Ruffle front cap sleeved dress top Ballet flats Long beaded necklace Chunky cocktail ring

Instructions

1. Look for muted colors. Michelle loves to wear soft, neutral colors that showcase her beautiful skin. Gray, white and brown are the colors she uses most, usually for her basics like T-shirts, tanks and blazers.

2. Michelle wears her muted colors only during day-to-day activities like shopping and hanging with friends. Try pairing a plain white button-down with jeans and flip-flop sandals to score this low-key look.

3. Wear darker colors (blacks, burgundys and blues) for nights out. Michelle wears gorgeous figure-hugging gowns on special occasions; the dark colors gel nicely with her pale skin. Try a sleeveless black dress and peep-toe pumps. This look is Michelle's staple for nights out because it lengthens her slightly full figure.

4. Stick to flowy, neutral dress tops for dates or lunches with girlfriends. Michelle plays it safe and chooses figure-flattering silhouettes for these outings. A ruffle front cap-sleeved dress top and dark jeans with ballet flats are her go-to picks for these occasions.The dark jeans slim her bottom half, and the ruffle draws attention to her chest and slim waistline.

5. Don't be afraid to accessorize. Michelle loves long, beaded necklaces and chunky cocktail rings, and she is frequently pictured with the latest bag. For rings and necklaces similar to the ones Michelle wears, visit Forever21.com
