The Carolyn Effect: A Case for Timeless Capsule Pieces
Watching the first few episodes of Hulu’s Love Story sent me down a full Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy style spiral.
Slip dresses. Tailored layers. Neutral palette. (Truly, the woman rarely wears color!) Her style is effortless, understated, and completely timeless. If she were walking down Mercer Street or meeting a friend at The Odeon today, she’d blend right in.
What I love most about her style is how simple it is. Great staples, nothing flashy or embellished.
After all that Pinterest pinning, we pulled together a quick CBK-inspired collection featuring Whimsy pieces that capture that same effortless feel.
The Marni Skirt paired with a Madeline Tank.
The Perri Top tucked into a great vintage jean.
Classic sunglasses. A great bag. (Okay, so it's not a Birkin… but still great!)
All that's missing is her signature headband. (Should we order these for the shop?)
Quiet. Confident. Worn on repeat.
