Michael Stars: Tees w/ a Shining Reputation

Looking for a tee with a little extra “splash”? Something beyond your plain-old, ordinary, 100% cotton standby?  

0266 gourd medium 138x150 Michael Stars: Tees w/ a Shining ReputationCheck out what Michael Stars has to offer! The tees are anything but boring and each new season brings a new modern collection. The company even has a signature “Shine” collection that dares to bring tees from casual to dressy instantly! Perfect for moms who want to be glamorous without sacrificing practicality!

If you’re new to Michael Stars, here are a few key points from a mom-next-door-type:

  1. Michael Stars is an upscale, Southern California brand that caters to shoppers in the Nordstrom demographic. The typical price of a tee is between $25-$70.
  2. Michael Stars has a GREAT reputation and is known for their soft, high-quality fabrics and “casual couture” fashions.
  3. Although originally just a t-shirt company, Michael Stars now offers sweaters, dresses, activewear, maternity, and baby apparel.
  4. Almost all Michael Stars tees are “One Size Fits All Most.” This is both a negative and positive quality. It’s fantastic, on the one hand, because you can easily purchase gifts for friends or for yourself without the hassle of size charts. On the other hand, it may not be the best choice for a plus-size or well-endowed friend. I fall into the latter category and the tees that I received were indeed exceptionally soft and stretchy, but perhaps drew a bit too much attention to my chest. When I modeled one of the tees for my husband, he pointed out my likeness to Barbie and the fact that the shirt fit just a bit too perfectly. I had to agree. I think I’ll have to add the tee to the “strictly for layering” section of the my closet.
fa08 toplogo 150x34 Michael Stars: Tees w/ a Shining ReputationIf you have a small to medium frame and have an A-C cup, Michael Stars will probably be your new best friend. The tees really are chic and – from what I’ve heard – they are more than worth the steep price tag. I, for one, would much rather buy a quality tee that lasts and that makes me feel fabulous instead of buying a dozen cheap-o tees that just don’t do the trick…wouldn’t you?  
WIN IT! One winner will receive a Michael Stars tee of her choice. To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Tuesday, October 14 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.
*UPDATE* The winner is #37 Karissa. Congratulations!

  68. Leigh S. says:

    The tees are beautiful, and would probably look better on young, thin girls than me- a 53-year-old size 12. But I’ll bet I could carry off the 2×1 Shine 3/4 Sleeve Open Crew (in java).

  69. Carol G says:

    This is a new brand name for me, but I suspect my California based daughter would recognize it. I basically live in jeans and t-shirts, would like to get rid of some of my ‘logo’ shirts.

  96. holly says:
