"I didn't give a damn about going to the party or being at the party, it was getting dressed for the party...and there's truth and poetry in that" -- Iris Apfel

Lately I've seen everyone on Instagram hash tagging #100dayproject and was inspired to do my own! Each week when I pick my looks for an editorial or style feature, there's always a lot of inspiration behind them -- mostly from style icons past. Instead of keeping all the references in my head, I'm illustrating and collaging my story boards to correspond with each look to get myself back in the art game.  Blending Jackie O chic with Farrah Fawcett cool and a touch of Bardot sensuality, this week I'm channeling the more preppy side of the 70's. Flares CAN be sleek rather than hippie boho if you add classic touches like stripes, navy, and camel!
