Chic Angelina Jolie? (posted on 25/03/2012)



Considering how much Angelina is criticized for her fashion choices, she is consistent in playing it safe. Nevertheless, her looks are always elegant, lux and stylish. Though they mostly lack the punch in colour that is nowadays de rigueur, they are always consistent and sharp. Maybe a bit too court-appropriate.  But nonetheless they are strong statements of elegance as well as money. And lets be honest, the latter she has certainly in abundance. It is interesting that she is going the understated chic route -not flashing labels obviously, rebelliously such as Miss Rihanna, but rather humbly, quietly letting what's important speak, her, Angelina, not what she wears. 
I personally love Angelina's consistency in quiet luxury. Her reliable taste and almost predictable colour choices that reflect who she is and not what the current trends dictate her to do or what to wear. Fashion is freedom. It is seeing what's new, old, good and bad and making choices that reflect the self, the utmost moment of self that is the here and now at which the "look" is worn. And as such Angelina portrays strength in self and a consequent and consistent personality that withstands trends, phases, colours to express her self, her ability to choose quality. Money. Is. All. It. Takes. To. Be. You.?
No, as Angelina is the perfect example of a life being lived through its ups and downs.
We all go through phases, dear chicette.
Fashion phases or not.
