Street Style: Michele Novack

Michele has been a long-time, loyal customer at Kiskadee. Now she's an awesome new employee. I hit the jackpot when she strolled in looking for job at Kiskadee. She's fun and everyone loves her, for sure. She's really getting to know all of our regular customers fast, too! Not only that, she can rock all of Kiskadee's favorite brands and looks. She looks great in this Rebecca Minkoff dress and the Johnston & Murphy wedges! She loves helping customers find that perfect piece. If you don't already know her, come on by and say hello!
