In an effort to make inviting some (friendly looking) strangers in to view/inspect/discuss each and every item in your closet a little less scary, we’re inviting you into our lives and closets!
Last week we shared all about Cara…now get to know Angela!
Name: Angela Mugler
Hometown: Bexley, Ohio
Family: Husband Jonathan, Kids Luke (8), Annabelle (8), Hudson (6) and Brooks (11 months)
Tell us about your background in fashion: I began my career in corporate retail in the merchant training program at Abercrombie & Fitch. My first job was an assistant merchant in women’s sweaters. My hubby and I met on our first day of work! We moved to San Francisco where I had a short stint at Levis, then a wonderful experience working for Gap Japan. We made the move back to Columbus when Abercrombie was launching it’s former concept Ruehl No. 925. I remained in merchandising until I had the opportunity to explore a new world in market research and focus groups. I loved the fast pace of the fashion world!
How would you describe your style: Bohemian Chic. I love pieces that are feminine and sexy but in an subtle, simple way. I love a short flowy dress, or a drapey top with a pretty lace bralette peeking out. I would also say I am a bit eclectic. I like the juxtaposition of mixing feminine and masculine together (ie. a military jacket with a feminine top). I love to accessorize – such an easy way to pull a look together even when you’re on the go (which I always am with 4 kids!).
What is your go-to item in your closet: My Levi’s denim cutoffs. They are my warm-weather version of skinny denim. I wear them with everything! My favorite casual look is a flowy top and strappy sandals, and I wear them at night with a half-tucked silky blouse and metallic heels.
What is the oldest item in your closet: A great pair of slouchy suede knee-high boots I bought from Banana Republic when I was working for Gap (12 years ago!). They are a light camel color and there isn’t a thing they don’t match. They are timeless and have held up remarkably well over the years!
What is your spring must-have? A jumpsuit. It’s so effortless and can be easily worn during the day with metallic sandals and a panama hat, or for a night out with wedges or heels and a statement necklace.
What are your favorite places to shop? Zara is one of my all-time favorites. We don’t have one in Columbus just yet, so every time I travel to New York it is a MUST for me. With free shipping and returns from online now, I don’t have to wait :). I also love Madewell, J.Crew, Anthropologie and Shopbop!
What is the best part about being a wardrobe stylist: I love to shop and feel giddy when I find the perfect pieces…pictures flash in my mind with all of the different ways they could be worn. I love bringing those pieces into someone else’s wardrobe and helping them mix and match to create a bunch of different looks! The sense of excitement clients feel when they discover all of the new options they have is contagious!
And here’s a look into my closet…
We hope to see you in your closet soon!
