Today I'm looking for some inspiration. I can't remember the last time I felt remotely inspired so it was a breath of fresh air to come across the Grace Kelly exhibition on the V & A website. I had no idea they had an exhibition devoted to her, and for the first time in a long time i felt inspired!
So what is it about Grace Kelly that enthralls me and many other women around the world? Well for me its both her style and her demeanour. She's so ladylike, so well dressed, so elegant. In a world of mini skirts and crop tops, her legacy is a breath of fresh air. I love those calf length skirts, the shirt dresses, the crisp blouses! The simple pearls and gloves. Beautiful.
So I've decided that Ms.Kelly is going to be my inspiration for one of my goals, 'To create a capsule wardrobe'. I'm going to hit the shops to find my own Grace Kelly style pieces, though i think i'll give the gloves a miss. After all, I want a look inspired by her, not to copy!
What I plan to buy:
1. A crisp white blouse.
2. A shift dress.
3. High waisted trousers.
4. A pretty neck/hair scarf.
5. A pencil skirt.
6. A slightly more full skirt.
7. Strand of pearls (not the real thing unfortunately, too expensive.)
8. A pale satin dress.
Now of course I'll be buying these things over a period of time but still, I'm excited to be taking a step towards one of my goals. Wish me luck!
