on the way to FAC for class this morning, i had a discussion with a fellow music and literature classmate. we discussed how class is a very important thing in ones life. there is a certain timelessness that is encompassed in having class.
i, honestly, instantly go to this one...
who else knew so instinctively what class was? simple and elegant. heres another...
i find both of these two to be unbelievably inspiring. to create an empire, image and icon status only through being ones self is quite remarkable. this takes me back to looking through old images of my grandmothers, who channeled the styles of both of these women. big sunglasses, a strand of pearls, form-fitting skirts or button-up dresses. it was a time when simplicity was all that was necessary. my mother comes from a generation much later, but still maintains the old-fashioned values of her own mother. third generation, though a bit more extravagant...in regards to my life and fashion sense, i find myself (as of late) trying this on for size as well. simple sells. it applies in my career, life choices, fashion selections, anything. something to think about.
and in an era where over-zealous ambitions, egos and business moves have thrown us into a recession...simple is looking pretty good right now. all across the board. we could learn some things from the past...
