First Lady: Jacki OOOOOO!

Okay so a few weeks ago i said i was gonna blog about all the the Fashionable First Ladies aka the Fabulous Firsts, and so im kicking it off with the ever so gorgeous and ever so lovely, Jackie Kennedy. Everyone knows that Jacki O is one of the most famous first lady's and therefore it seemed right to start the list off right with her.
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (July 28, 1929–May 19, 1994)
First Lady to John F. Kennedy, 1961-1963.

I have this thing about Jackie's personality, like maybe, the way she felt reflected in her wardrobe. As if she chose every dress, every cardigan, and every pair of gloves to represent the mood she was in. She didnt just throw on something that a stylist had picked out for her, she seemed to have carefully chosen everything for how she really was. That's what this dress for me, it's just Jackie at her finest.

With such charming clothes, a charming personality must follow, and this picture is the epitome of lady-like qualities. Her dress, while conservative and appropriate, is given a bit of elegance with the long gloves she's wearing, aallowing her to give of an aura of declicacy, and feminine class.

(Note: Ladies, showing so cleavage is so extra, notice the way the men have gravitated closer to her without one glimspe of unneeded skin).

I cannot tell a lie. i am biased and a fan of the everyday (or almost everyday) dress-wearer. You've heard of bespoke suits? Well, Jackie seemed like she had a seamstress on hand for her bespoke dresses. This vintage print is typical of the time and honestly, if the dress were cut and sewn into a style of this era, i'm pretty sure people would wear it. i ,however, wouldve saved the trouble and worn it exactly the way Jackie has it here, the high neckline makes jewelry unneccessary and unflattering if one were to add any, however, notice the sunglasses in Jackie's hand, letting you know that not only was the girl classy, but very, very cool.

Pretty in pink.

Pearls.

and gloves.
Need i say more?

Not too many people can pull of a cape. Jackie, however, did it in style. Something like a cape has to be at the perfect occasion and time. You cant just wear a cape because its Friday. You'll look silly. Presidential dinners, weddings, and fashion shows are cape time. Get it right. Another thing i love about the Kennedy's is that they complemented eachother so well. Jackie never outdressed John and vice versa.

They were the definition of the fashionable power couple of the 60s, and really seemed more like a Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie than a Bill and Hillary. Of course they were the youngest couple in office but they were just so classic. John in his his perfectly tailored Brooks Brothers' suits and Jackie in her famous long gloves. Graceful and elegant,

fashionwise, they are what i aspire to be one of these days.

Jackie did relax every now and then, with a comfortable Ivy League type look of khaki capris, flats, a solid button down, and that classic and timeless V-Neck Cardigan. All managing to look conservative as well as Cool.

Jackie O is definitely the epitome of Lady-Like Cool, something every budding fashionista to aim to be. Classic and Current at the very same time...

And always with a pair of sunglasses on hand.

She was really the queen of sunglasses, like a said, an ESSENTIAL accessory for every girl. Stylish and Savvy, i still wonder how Jackie managed to do it everyday.

Did you think upturned collars was a new trend that Kanye West started? Please refer to James Dean if necessary, he started the trend in men. Jackie did it for the ladies.

In Closing, i had to include this picture of Jackie, natural, fresh, and young. Classy, cool, and elegant, beautiful, and glamorous. While tragedy would eventually strike, Jackie kept her composure, and any woman would, and continues to be a legend in the fashion world, and inspiration to us all. Thanks Jackie for your contribution to the fashion world, i wonder if you know how much it meant?

Stay Gold.

britt. TISH man. *stay tuned to see who the next Fabulous First will be*
