Who's Your Style Icon?

My Style Icon

Actually, I never thought about it until I decided to start a blog for Moms with Estilo (style). So why a blog for moms with style and not  fashionable moms? 

There's actually a big difference between "fashion" and "style". 

An article I read by Greg Thompson puts it clearly.

"Fashion is about clothes and their relationship to the moment in time they’re being presented in. Style is about you and your relationship to yourself. Fashion is in the clothes. Style is in the wearer."

And that's when I realized my Mother is my style Icon. There is no one I have carefully scrutinized or followed more closely than my mother (pictured above). A true lady and warrior princess in my mind, she always dresses the part.

From the fragrance that follows her and immediately permeates a room, to the outfits, and larger than life jewelry she wears. Her personal style never ceases to draw attention. The unafraid confidence my mother has portrayed throughout her life has truly impacted my own style throughout the years.
