Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I am a bi-athlete, so I run and cycle and I am part of an all male cycling team, so it’s all about the legs for me! In the summer I love to wear shorts.”

MARC JACOBS Blazer
H&M Tank
LANVIN Sandals

“I’m really into feathers and stars so I typically have necklaces that have that general theme. "

VINTAGE Gold Lariat Necklace

Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I’m into hard edges and tough shapes. Maybe it’s because I live in an urban environment. But I love wearing the shapes we see all the time, and I think I can pull it off.”

NYC Street Vendor Ring

“I wear a lot of neutral colored sandals in the summer. They are a perfect base for any look!”

“I’ve had this jacket for over ten years. I bought it at a time when I was heavily into vintage. I wear this mostly to birthday parties and intimate parties.”

VINTAGE Feathered Jacket

“I’m not usually a belt girl, but with that pencil skirt it works!”

DONNA KARAN Belt

“I only wear this ring on my index finger because it didn’t fit my others!”

“This leather cuff adds to the outfit. When I take off the feather jacket, I am left with a basic, classic outfit so the leather band gives it a little edge.”

NYC STREET VENDOR Leather Bracelet

Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“These shoes – they just make you look! They are so amazing! It’s like architecture, but they are comfortable. God knows a shoe this tall should be comfortable.”

CHRISSIE MORRIES Ankle Strap Sandals

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
11
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I’m a total Ports 1961 girl. I’m into structure. I like things that have strong shape and form. It’s a great coat that looks amazing when worn casually too!”

PORTS 1961 Coat

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
12
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“This is my first Ports 1961 dress, and it’s actually too big for me! I used to like vintage a lot and it reminds me of a vintage piece – minus the smell! You can’t be anything but a lady in this dress!”

PORTS 1961 Dress

“I got this cuff two years ago. I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but when I’m going out I like to really turn the volume up.”

DOROTHY MIRO Cuff

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
14
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I am a vegetarian, but I couldn’t help but love the stingray leather on these shoes! Plus the neoprene panels on the side totally make it feel like a sock.”

CHRISSIE MORRIS Booties

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
15
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“This is my favorite dress in the world. I’ve worn it three times and every time I’ve worn it, a man stops me dead. I wanted to grab it in every single color!”

PORTS 1961 Dress
CHRISSIE MORRIS Shoes

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
16
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I love the leather pockets! If it didn’t have these pockets this would be a kind of basic, but the leather pockets give it a twist. And it’s sexy as hell!”

PORTS 1961 Dress
GUCCI Watch

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
17
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I’ve had this watch since I was about 19. It was a gift from a boyfriend! I can’t believe I actually asked for this, but I used to flip through fashion mags constantly as a teen and was inspired to get one of these.”
GUCCI Watch

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director

Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I’ve had this for two years. I wear this bag strictly for events or meeting my girls on a Friday night or a date!”

CHLOE Purse

19
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I do not own a pump. My heels are so thin that nothing like a regular slide-in suffices. I need stuff that’s going to hold my feet in, so I prefer stuff that straps around the ankle.”

CHRISSIE MORRIS Sandals

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
20
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I’ve really come into my own in terms of body and getting into my body and then clothing. I love wearing things that are form fitting without coming across as too voluptuous.”

VINTAGE Cocktail Dress
CHRISSIE MORRIS SANDALS

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
21
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“This ring looks like a snow globe. I got it from the Museum of Modern Art. I’ve had it forever. It’s my campy, whimsical ring.”

MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Ring

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director

Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I use this bag on weekends to knock around. It’s very heavy leather, so it’s great for carrying a lot of things.”

BODHI Leather Tote

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
23
Miller’s Major Wardrobe

“I remember wearing these shoes to an event honoring one of our late board members. She was extremely fashionable, so when her husband walked across the room to compliment me on these shoes – I felt honored.”

CHRISSIE MORRIES Ankle-Strap Sandals

Closet Envy: Tonya Miller, Events Director
