An Update on Attempts to "Slut it Up" Wardrobe Style.

Remember this post? There are none. Updates to my success or (what seems to be) failure to "slut it up". I cannot seem to accomplish this goal what so ever. I think at this very moment I am completely fine with that. Now with the holidays over I can focus on one of my very top goals I set when winter break started...to tackle my closet. I have lost 2 sizes and am somewhat continuing to shrink (which is a good and bad thing financially). Every time I have gone shopping recently to replace or refresh my wardrobe some Mad Men wisdom pops in my head, some girls are a Jackie and some are a Marilyn. I friends, am a Jackie.

There are things about me that make this plainly obvious:

• I wear pearl earrings constantly. I believe that if I am not feeling particularly put together, throwing on a pair of pearl studs classes up the joint. Over all I just love pearl jewelry. Of course I love the very J.Crewy modern style pearls mixed with other things or lots of pearls.
• I LOVE dresses or really feminine style tops. 
• I love a good pair of flats. Be it the basic black or something with a little more statement to them. I am slowly learning to walk in heels a little better (intermediate ballet has helped with that completely!). 

I'd love to try and be more Marilyn. Modern day Marilyn is just something I have the most difficult time reaching. I feel so completely uncomfortable in something low/ high cut (consider Lindsay Lohan's recreation of Marilyn's last photo shoot, yikes!). This year I will embrace my Jackie self. I hope to learn to appreciate the Marilyn's but not be so envious of their sex appeal. I'd like to work on finding my own sex appeal in my own style.

Do you consider yourself a Jackie or a Marilyn, why?
