The other day in my English class, my lovely friend gave an equally lovely speech about the exceedingly lovely Audrey Hepburn. Her thesis was why is Hepburn a fashion icon? She then proceeded to explain the reasons we love Audrey, from her grace and poise to her sincerity and inner beauty. I learned that along with her effortless sense of style that her attitude and confidence really make the look. While zero effort = you are frickin' fabulous has not always been my strong suit, I trudged through both my closet and the one of my mothers to find that (full of) effort-(but looks like) less outfit for a friends birthday party in the city. What I ended up with, was a waist flattering, silky loose dress, boyfriend blazer, my favorite boots (I'm still not tiered of them!), and subtle gold jewelry. So in relation to Audrey I have (drumroll please):
- Loose dress = comfort, yet flattering silhouette
- Black Blazer = black, because well, you know, black.
- Boots = tried and true familiarity
- Subtle Jewels = less is more (except for the bracelets, let's face it this is me we're talking about)
- Up-do: 'Cuz I'm going out and Audrey rocked them up-do's
Not bad. Something to keep working on. How do you embrace your favorite fashion icon?
