FARGO—Shantelle Peterson doesn’t hesitate to name her style icon.
“My grandma,” she says. “She’s always looked stylish and so classy.” The 30-year-old manager of Clothes Mentor in Fargo flips through her phone, sharing photos of her 94-year-old grandmother’s timeless, polished style.
Peterson puts her own twist on classic looks by adding edgy elements like funky shoes. I spotted her downtown and liked her positive energy and all-black ensemble. Describe your style. A hodgepodge of everything. It changes depending on my mood. What’re you wearing today? Everything is from Clothes Mentor. I have on MIA shoes, an Express blazer, Lou & Grey pants and a Coach bag. Where do you shop? Clothes Mentor, T.J. Maxx, Gap, Loft—I’ll shop anywhere. Who’s your style icon? My grandma. She turns 95 this month. She’s never worn jeans and she always looks put together. Both of my grandparents were snappy dressers. What’s your favorite thing in your closet? I have a strong attachment to all of my shoes. I have well over 100 pairs, easily. My latest favorites are a pair of cobalt blue Steve Madden fringe heels my husband bought for me. What’s the most daring thing you’ve ever worn? I’m not sure, but I take every bad outfit as a learning experience. What are your signature pieces? I always wear my wedding ring and my Cobber ring, my watch and a necklace with my son’s initial and birthstone. If you had an unlimited amount of money, what would you buy for your wardrobe? I’m jaded, I don’t think I could spend a lot on one thing. But bags and shoes are always good investments.

Shoes are Shantelle Peterson’s finishing touch for any outfit. Anna G. Larson / The Forum
