Suits are sort of like chores for me. I don’t really want to do them, but they’re something I’m roped into from time to time. Until now that is. Designer Nicole Miller has created the Smart Collection from Nicole by Nicole Miller sold exclusively at JCPENNEY stores nationwide. Skirts, pants, and blazers run from $60-$132. Everything in the line is made with EcoGIR Technology. Translation: No dry cleaning required! Unlike your average dowdy suit, Nicole Miller designed her collection to be worn together or as separates. Her tailored blazer will make you look powerfully chic and put together during an important presentation or laid back cool on the weekends with a pair of fitted jeans. What I love most about the New York-based designer is that I don’t feel like I’m playing dress up when I slip into one of her designs. I feel like myself. As stars like Angelina Jolie, Hillary Duff, and Jessica Simpson know, she creates clothes that enhance a woman. ~ Maria Denardo
