and appoints each of David H. Hawkins, Gregory W. Kleffner and
Greg Lohman, or any of them signing singly, and with full
power of substitution, the undersigned's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to:

            1. execute for and on behalf of the undersigned (in
accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder (the "Exchange
Act")), in the undersigned's capacity as an officer and/or
director of Stein Mart, Inc. (the "Company"), any and all
Forms 3, 4 and 5, and any amendments thereto, that are
necessary or advisable for the undersigned to file under
Section 16(a) (collectively, "Documents");

            2. do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of the undersigned that may be necessary or desirable
to complete and execute any such Documents and timely file
such Documents with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

            3. take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion of such
attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest
of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-
fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of
Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms
and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

            The undersigned hereby grants to such attorney-in-
fact full power and authority to do and perform any and every
act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary or proper to be
done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein
granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full
power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and
confirming all that such attorney-in-fact (or such attorney-
in-fact's substitute or substitutes) shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned
acknowledges that such attorney-in-fact, in serving in such
capacity at the request of the undersigned, is not assuming,
nor is such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes
assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply
with the Exchange Act.  The undersigned agrees to defend and
hold harmless such attorney-in-fact (and such attorney-in-
fact's substitute or substitutes) from and against any and all
loss, damage or liability that such attorney-in-fact may
sustain as a result of any action taken in good faith
hereunder.

            This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force
and effect until the undersigned is no longer required to file
Documents with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and
transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless
earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing
delivered to the foregoing attorney-in-fact.  This Power of
Attorney shall be construed under the laws of the state of
Florida, without regard to conflict of law principles.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this
Power of Attorney to be executed as of this 21st day of
November, 2013.
