Fashion Report: Fashion Icon Jacqueline Kennedy

This week's fashion report is going to be about a fashion icon. Jacqueline Kennedy, during her late husband's presidency, was considered to be a fashion icon for women all over the world. The clothes she wore set the styles for women everywhere. Pillbox hats, sleeveless A-line dresses, and suit sets with quarter length sleeves. These styles were known as the "Jackie look". Jackie may have been a great fashion icon but she wasn't a very thrifty person. She spent $45, 446 on fashion her first year in the White House! Wow!
After her husband's death, Jackie's style changed dramatically. She began wearing gypsy skirts, silk head scarves, large dark glasses, bright colors, and even wore jeans in public! (Women wore skirts or dresses in public only during this time) Some of these styles are coming back now too. Jacqueline Kennedy was a fashion icon in her time. She is still considered a fashion icon today.

Fashion Report: Maxi Dresses

Starting now, each week I will do a Fashion Report post. I will talk about the latest styles, modesty, fashion icons, and other fashion related things. This week's Fashion Patrol post is going to be about maxi dresses.

What is a maxi dress you may ask? Maxi dresses are long, ankle length dresses that usually have some type of strap. This summer they are seen in floral prints and basically any color. Maxi dresses are popular with women's clothing and children's. Maxi skirts, which are just a long skirt are also popular. These dresses and skirts look very cute with wedge heels or strappy sandals and long necklaces. They also look good with a cute shrug, too!


Well, that's all for today, folks! Join me, Fashionista Raegan, next week for your next post!

Regional's!!

Our Regional speech and debate tournament was this weekend. Wow...what an awesome tournament!! During the social on Friday night, some of the parents performed their children's speeches while the graduating seniors judged them. It was hysterical! Competitors performed impromptu skits and sang funny songs. Out of the two debate teams in our club which qualified for Regionals, only one went on to the advanced rounds. No one in our club broke in speech but, we were all grateful for the opportunity to compete there. Maybe next year we'll all be in Nationals!
