Taking Fashion cues from a Funeral

For those of you who don't know me personally but read my blog, THANK YOU! But more importantly, what you may not know is that I'm from Boston, no worries i never had that accent. As a Bostonian who grew up on Cape Cod, i've got democrat running through my blood and like most have some Kennedy fever. As a little kid I got to stand outside the church on the day Maria Shriver got married, I'd seen Ted Kennedy walking down the pier to his boat and no visit from friends and family was complete without taking them by the Kennedy Compound. So i sat by my television last night watching the Celebration of Life at the Kennedy Memorial Library and the funeral today. Boy I picked up a lot!

First, pearls are the accessory of the season, every one of the Kennedy clan woman had long strands doubled. There really is nowhere good to buy a fashionable black suit if you live on Cape Cod, and HUGE bows are just not approrpiate at funerals, I mean the First Lady looked like a clown! I did see that Maria Shriver has fabulous color and highlights and impeccable taste in pocketbooks. Not so much for Caroline Kennedy, she needs a few tips on hair, makeup and accessories, I mean her mom was a fashion icon, you'ld think she'd have it a bit more together.

Vicki Kennedy looked visibly shaken today and my heart went out to her, but she got a 10 for looking like a lady through and through,

Was it just me or do you sense there is a little cousin a cousin rivalry between Maria and Carolyn? I think Rory is adorable but boy does Kara need some help!

What I know is this, there's a huge table up in heaven tonight, candles lit, candelabra and chandeliers and the boys are sitting at the table in white dinner jackets and Jackie is the hostess in a fabulous Chanel gown and they are toasting and welcoming Ted!

Rest in peace!
