A headline on USAToday.com grabbed my attention this morning - "Queen Elizabeth II tops 'Vanity Fair' best-dressed list." The writer of the article seemed to be poking a little bit of fun at her, "Yes, the British queen. She's 90, and hasn't really been a fashion icon since ... well, maybe the 1950s or 1960s."
Her "resolute sense of style" across a century is worthy of admiration, says Vanity Fair special correspondent Amy Fine Collin.
“She has consistently represented who she is and what she stands for, without wavering from a standard she set a long time ago,” says Collins. “Politics, culture, and class structure in the empire — all of that shifts constantly, but she doesn’t. She’s a beacon.”
I'm not one who closely follows the royal family, but I do appreciate the classy way the queen has dressed through the years.
How about it, ladies? Do we represent who we are and what stand for in our attire? Fashions come and go, but modesty is timeless. And don't forget, a smile is your best accessory!
