In fact, no other First Lady could achieve that style status, though the contemporary Michelle Obama comes a close second........... :)
Who do you guys think is the most stylish First Lady? Do lemme know.....
Anyhow, you all may be wondering why this sudden interest in the First Ladies' fashion sensibilities. Actually when I dressed up for office today, the first thing that came to my mind when I looked at myself in the mirror was that my accessories would go as perfectly with a First Lady's classy skirt suit! That doesn't mean that I was wearing anything remotely formal today.......actually I had just borrowed the accessories from the First Lady look & used them to dress up my smart casual outfit!! :))
I love stripes. I think stripes are the most versatile elements of design & aesthetics. they look good in all sizes & colors!!! Ain't it? :)
The slight chill in the air allowed me to happily take out my full-sleeved striped knitted top....I really dig this magenta & grey combo......& the deep V neck gave me a chance to add my pink spaghetti inside!
V-neck knitted top: Tommy Hilfiger, Kolkata
Spaghetti (worn inside): Pantaloons, Kolkata
Slim fit denims: Shoppers Stop, Kolkata
Now we come to the pearls & brooch that led to the title of the post......don't ya all think that these elements of my outfit look like they are straight out of a First Lady's wardrobe??? I added these pearls to give a formal twist to the casual look of the stripes......also the flower brooch adds a pretty, feminine touch to the whole sporty vibe of the V-neck knits!
I love this string of pearls (it's actually one string wound into 3 lines)......this can be worn in so many different ways to give entirely different looks! :)
String of pearls: Westside, Kolkata
Crochet brooch: Platinum Mall, Bangkok
Eeeeee!!!!!!!! Check out my latest buys........cute black pumps/ballerinas from Aldo! :))
They are just perfect for Formal as well as casual looks...specially like the cute li'l buckles!
Shoes: Aldo, Kolkata
The wedding season's started in full swing & I have quite a few invitations lined up! Am going crazy trying to whisk up proper party outfits (am bored of my old party stuff, though I've not worn 'em more than a couple of times each!).........every thing, in the stores, with bling on it is calling out to me........but my pocket refuses to respond! :(
Anyways, now that Friday's almost over.....so at least we have the weekend to look forward to! Also, it's my time to go shopping for ready-made clothes or fabrics that I can get stitched. Hope I find something that fits the bill!!
Have a rocking weekend guys!
Love,
Polka Princess
Nice! very Michelle O (I know you were aiming for Jackie, but the colors scream Mrs O)(+ I'm biased--she's my fave among first ladies!) :)
ReplyDeleteHey GB! I like Michelle Obama too....though my fav is Jackie O! But I was not really aiming for a First Lady look.....it just happened that the pearls & the brooch gave me that feel... :)

ReplyDeleteWow..Love those pearls! And you read my mind.. I still think she is the most stylish First lady ever..Michelle is great too..but she comes at a time where everything is so readily accessible, you know what I mean..wheres Jackie O was stylish when first ladies were meant to be so formal and stern looking ...Did that make sense..lol :P
