A Fashion Icon

"Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance." -Coco Chanel
The first style icon that came to my mind after reading this was of course Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The minute Jackie O. took her position as the First Lady she became the classic American Fashion icon. She changed American fashion forever by introducing a look that was crisp, clean, simple, and young.
Jackie truly understood the real essences of fashion and helped women understand that you didn't have to look overseas to find fashions that were elegant and chic. I mean really where would the fashion world be today without the A-line dress and pillbox hats?

Jackie always knew exactly what she wanted. Her style was precise; she was bold and confident.

I think this is the kind of women we should be. Confident in who we are, bold in making decisions, and a leader to others. And of course not afraid to take a few fashion risk, because where would we be today in fashion if Jackie didn't take the same risk?
