Fashionably Correct- Women in Politics Who Never Failed to Take a Look in the Mirror

They may have been in politics, but the following women made room for their other priorities as well- fashion and being stylish. Whether they set trends, or emphasized them, they were always spotted looking their very best. Who said being in politics meant you had to look like a frump? 

 

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, AKA Jackie O. Jackie O. might have been The First Lady, but to the world of fashion, she was a style icon. She made the trend before she set the trend if you know what I mean. She was known for her large sunnies, clean cut suits, and Hermes scarves. Her style was more conserved during the campaign period, but she sped ahead when the fashions started to change. Nowadays, young women everywhere copy her style head-to-toe. Who can blame them? She knew how to keep it classy -without being boring- and elegant.

Marie Antoinette, Queen of France. Big dresses and even bigger parties is what is most often depicted of her, I don't understand why this is a bad thing? I love dresses, and I love cake. Oh, wait! She did have a country to run but why should that stop her from having fun? Maybe she could have toned the partying to a minimum considering her country needed her, but I'm not here to judge. Non the less, she was fabulous and is part of my inspiration for my birthday bash (BTW- my actual bday happens to be tomorrow). Marie Antoinette is the inspiration for such a wide variety of things, also appearing in pop culture all the time. 

Queen Silvia of Sweden. I haven't heard much of her, but from the photos that I have been scanning through these past couple days I know I like her style. A "little birdie" told me about her and that she is "known for her great style." I might just be ignorant of this, or it could be due to the fact that over here in the U.S. we don't much info on such things. From what I can tell, she normally wears classic skirt suits; but oh boy when she dresses up in a gown its glam time! 

Cecilia Attias. So what she's not the First Lady of France anymore, she used to be, and that's when she attracted my attention. Her style is not very hard. I want to say it's very pretty, because it is, but I'm talking about a pretty that's really easy. Even when she's spotted in regular shoes and jeans, she looks pretty, you know?

Michelle Obama, First Lady of United States of America. I like that she keeps her style simple and doesn't flaunt her money on clothes that cost more than a house per piece, especially during our economic times. Have  you noticed how she wears the same pearls to a lot of different occasions? I think that spells out respect to the countries economy.  I also like that she is supporting a young designer -Jason Wu- instead of having her whole wardrobe full of big fashion houses. She keeps it classy and modern. I like her pearls, too. Will she take the fashion world by storm? They're saying she already has. 

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, First Lady of France. All I can say is I love her and her style! Of course she has great style, she is after-all a former model. Duh. She keeps it simple and I read that she wears tees and jeans "around the house." I like listening to her and I like looking at her, she's got a pretty face. Her and Michelle Obama are 'dangerous'!

BTW- They were not put in any specific order, I just put them as I pulled up the pictures.

Fashion Icon Soup

           What do you get when you put the Olsen twins, Kate Moss, and Rachel Zoe's style and put it into a big pot with a sprinkle of Victoria "Posh" Beckham? Me! That's absolutely right. Of course I will always admire the people like Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O, and Liz Taylor for their classic, timeless style. For everyday wear it's "all of the above." 

        I have been wondering exactly what is my style? Not just what, but who is my style also. I'm not trying to be a copycat, it's just everyone needs someone to look up to as their fashion people also. Just like you're 5 yr. old little brother or son may look up to Superman because he's the greatest man to ever walk on earth to them. Well, just like that, I think people also need to look up to certain people for their fashion needs and inspiration. And my people happen to be "all of the above."  Like I said, I have been searching for some fashion people to look up to -in the meaning of day-to-day wear- and I never knew what it was so it was like I was "clueless" about what to wear in a way. I know I sound like some person who doesn't have her own sense of style, but I do. That's why it's a mixture of those people. I also would add a little spice of my "exact" own style if you want to put it that way, but they are my style..In a way. 

          I love all of their styles. The Olsens, you might think that they have the same style, but they don't. Look closely and you will notice how Ashley Olsen has a more conservative style. She also uses more whites and blacks with one piece of colour for that 'pop.' Then there is Kate Moss' style, can't put my finger on what to call it but it's lovely. I added that spice or sprinkle of Victoria "Posh" Beckham in there because she has this polished clean look for when she is sometimes seen about town. Bright colours and all. I guess you could say that it is sort of preppy, but at certain times. Oh, let's not forget Rachel Zoe's style; it's very vintage and original LA style which I love. I love her style. When I was watching The Rachel Zoe Project on BravoTV, I immensely fell in love with her clothes and the way she dress. And her big chunky gold gold gold everywhere jewelry is something I would adapt into my own style and carry it over when dressing "like" mary Kate or Ashley Olsen. They are not always wearing the biggest, chunkiest of the gold jewelry, but I would. You know why? Because I am still an independent person with my own style. Ha! 

          I love fashion. And I love being me. I also love their (the names I listed above) style. I think everyone should look up to someone fashion wise but still keep our own creativeness and fashion individuality. And you can even if you look up to someone in the fashion world for your fashion needs. Just pick someone who you admire from a fashion point-of-view and admire them and look to them as a guide. But still keep intact your own creativity and individuality. Just wondering, is there someone you admire in the fashion world, casual or event wise?
