Me: Guess who my style icon is for 2011?
Hub: Janet Jackson
Me: umm, no. STYLE icon. FASHION icon.
Hub: Kendra? (being hopeful)
Hub: The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders?
Me: Mary Tyler Moore
Hub: That show was on 50 years ago.
Me: Exactly! It's timeless. Classic.

Sarcasm runs high in this house and, of course, my husband was just giving me a hard time. Although it was hard for me to resist suggesting he get inspiration from a style icon rather than GAP and Banana Republic circa 1995. I AM working on his wardrobe this year as well...another project. Ok, back to business!
My style icon and inspiration for 2011:

how much do you love this navy sweater belt combo and gold skirt? LOVE it.
I am thinking of keeping it classic; a lot of black on black and black & white. Capris and ankle length pixie pants, boat neck shirts, stripes (of course), white blouses and perfect fitting black turtlenecks. Of course, this will all be a lot easier to pull off when spring rolls around and I no longer must live in chunky sweaters and my new favorite slipper socks from Old Navy.
and on the Dick Van Dyke Show (especially the black capris)
I saw a clip the other day from this show and love the classic look of a black turtleneck paired with her famous black capris!

I started forming my MTM wardrobe with the Pixie Pant purchase from the J. Crew outlet and for only $16.99, they were a steal (plus, I can make a check next to the "spend smarter" bullet point on my New Year's Resolution lists). Love the 2 for 1 check!

My fashion icons are oldies but goodies, too. 70's Ali McGraw and any-age Lauren Hutton. Classic is classic for a reason!
I really love this post and I totally agree with you:) Happy New Year, my dear
Kisses
I think that she's a FAB style icon, my dear -- can't wait to see you channel her all year!
