After stumbling upon the lovely Tasha’s Grace Kelly Page it is clear to me that Grace Kelly was a pioneer of wardrobe basics. She always looked perfect for every occasion and groomed to perfection. Her clothing had the right amount of embellishment and flair as well as suitability and appropriateness. Here are the top 5 Grace Kelly basics every woman should own…
The Bow – Wear them on your wrists, around your neck, on your shoes, around your waist or in your hair. The only rule is to wear one at time. Size is irrelevant.
The Hat – Nothing will complete an outfit like a hat. I know it takes guts to wear hats but visit The Vintage Society and she’ll show you how to do it. My only piece of advice is to make the commitment. You have to wear it all day or the hat hair will turn you off for life.
The Tiara – Okay I know it’s not exactly a basic but while cleaning my room this week I was horrified to discover that I don’t actually own one! Needless to say I am now on a serious tiara hunt for those days when I don’t feel like enough of a princess without one…
The Cardigan and Pearl Earrings – I know it’s terribly un-feminist of me but how cute would it be to cook your boyfriend/husband/partner dinner while wearing a little twinset and pearl earrings with an apron and heels? I have a feeling that any modern man would be delighted! Just don’t make a habit out of it…
The White Shirt – It’s clean, crisp and classic. I’m far to grubby to pull this one off but for those ladies that use tissues and hand towels this one’s for you!
