About three years ago I started writing a series on the Queen City Style called “What She Wore.” During a very welcomed period of long continous growth with my styling business, this meant the Queen City Style blog has over time taken a back seat. One of the many more recently welcomed spaces that has come with the slower pace of life during quarantine is a chance to get back to where it all began for me; sharing my passion for all things stylish here on the Queen City Style. With that, thanks to the help of some very talented (younger/more with it/ hipper) people, I have been able to do my own little bit of work toward getting with the fancier software times. For starters, you know I got a new website (thanks Emily). If you haven’t seen, I would love for your to check it out. And, in this case, the What She Wore series has also gotten a fancier new format. Thank you Isabelle!
It seems only apropos to start with a little inspiration from where the inspiration all started, the style of my Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. In this image, it appears they are having cocktails; I’m going to go with before a debutante ball party (or perhaps a wedding), but something tells me they are sitting in a room at the Velvet Cloak Inn (RIP) or somewhere similar before a Terpsichorean Ball party. I just love their outfits, the mad style, and of course, there they are drinking from their little hotel cups looking chic as ever.

As my Great-Grandmother, Willa, would say…
