Watching a cross over episode of murder she wrote and Magnum with my bluberry muffin and orange juice. I dont watch it for the 80's crime plot, I watch it for Jessica Fletcher. Shes always been my style icon. I mean the tweed jackets, the pearls, the gold cluster earrings, the plaited waist belts! Ahh I could go on forever! Shes always been overlooked, our Jessica, as an influence on fashion but to me she is everything that is fashionable today. I mean Balmain A/W 09... shoulder pads? Jessica is the queen of shoulder pads! ( OK maybe on a par with Dynasty.. but Jessica makes them looks classy) In the opening credits.. the little bike with the wicker basket.. Ive never been able to find one at the tip and never been able to afford one of the orignal navy blue womens bike with the golden wicker basket.. ahhhh. Or the final shot was always of her laughing! I love that too!The way she wears navy and white and pops her collar. Her bright white plimsoles and 7/8th slim pants. It like she forecasted the S/S09 and A/W 09 shows right back then. Her unforgettable trenches! I love a good trench but they way she wore them is so.. 'french'! I cant stop finding things that i love about her.. its almost becoming an obsession but hey what isnt anymore? The silk scarves with the equestrian theme are always a favourite of mine and shes the only person I know who can pull off a gold bike chain which falls just above the decolletage. Anyway I love Jessica and thought she deserved something nice said about her :) So heres to Jessica! Long live her kooky detective skills and FABULOUS wardrobe!
