I read this article the other day about Jenna Lyons, who if you don't know, is the President and Creative Director of J. Crew. First off, her style. Love it. It has tailored, manly facets, but then girly, sparkly specs, and then on top of that, nerdy chic. It's so many things into one and it's just fun! She usually has one classic piece, with a girly piece, and then some random unique item. For example...a couple of her looks that I love.
Instead of wearing a formal gown, she opted for this statement! She has the classic sweater, the girly clutch and earrings, then the unique skirt. For some of you, it might not be your cup of tea, but it's brave.
This next look, once again a red carpet deal. But this time she chose a feminine hot pink skirt with an interesting cut and large side front bow, pastel heels, classic clutch with a classic white button down and blue jean jacket...then to top it off, just simple cascading curls.
I won't analyze all of her outfits, but I'll just post a couple pics of my favorites...
She combines textures, maybe that's what draws me in. Also, she is like 6 ft tall and she kinda reminds me of Gisele Bundchen...idk if ya'll see it or not, it might just be my imagination...
Anyhow...she grew up with this medical condition that caused her to lose her teeth, so she has dentures. She went to design school @ Parsons and then got a job working at J. Crew as an assistant to an assistant's assistant...Now she practically runs the company. She was married, but divorced and is now with a woman...seriously, her life is like a movie...
Maybe I'll do a Jenna Lyons style week, and basically take on her style as a challenge...hmm...
Anyhow, hope you all are doing well! Click on the pic to see the sourcing sites and if you'd like to read the article on Jenna and J. Crew, it's here.
