in my previous post…i blogged about the beautiful audrey hepburn…
love her style…so simple, so elegant, so lady like…
but there are others that i follow as well…a close second…if not tie in first with gorgeous audrey…would be jackie o…i once had someone tell me that i look like her…well…believe me…i smiled the whole day! she was also a classy lady who always looked so beautiful and well put together…but simple, elegant…and lady like…
seriously…what is there not to love?
i guess now that i think of it…i have a number of my self-indulgent idols when it comes to a clothing style…here is the lovely wallis duchess of windsor…so beautiful & elegant…
there are moments in my life when i stop and think, “how would coco handle this?” or what would jackie do?” to heck with who i think is worth modeling…why not choose a style icon of your own? it might be a glamourous figure from the past, or perhaps your style icon won’t be a name others would recognize…it could be a real live person that you know and admire for the certain something she possesses…
could it be a stylish and learned woman in your own community? one of my dear customers, a stylish woman herself…has told me stories of the two big icons in her life…her mom & aunt…born at the turn of the last century, these incredible women did loom large in my customer’s life…and in mine as i heard the stories…how amazing it was to see the verve and beauty they brought to their daily lives…
is there someone like that you’ve overlooked in your life? seek her out and sit at her feet to learn…a style icon worth considering is letitia baldrige…the author of the book a lady, first…she writes of her life in the american embassy in paris, the kennedy white house, and the headquarters of tiffany & company…how could you not learn from her?
