Hey all-
I live for fashionable TV shows. I can sit and watch boring shows/movies if the fashion is on point because to me fashion is art and it revives me. Like Carrie said in Sex and the City ” I wouldn’t eat for the night and get a Vogue instead, I feel it nourishes me more”. Whenever I am down, I turn to my fashion mags and the images alone make me happy… its instant Prozac or whatever the new depression drug du jour is.
With that said….. TV shows….. Till this day there are only 3 shows that inspire me and quench my thirst for style: Girlfriends, Sex and the City and Gossip Girl… the new VH1 ‘Single Ladies’ is starting to creep into slot number 4 but we shall see if it has staying power as I am picky, picky!
Girlfriends was the “urban” Sex and the City and I adored it. Joan Clayton played by Tracee Ellis Ross had the most fabulous style and that was my first view of Christian Louboutin shoes. She always had a bold lip, wild hair and body hugging pencil skirts that were A.MA.ZING. Because of this, I wanted to do an ODE to Tracee Ellis Ross whose own style is very much that of her characters.
Enjoy………………………..
Love Ross’ outfits, esp the first one and the one with her on the kitchen counter.
I need to find a denim pencil skirt (added to shopping list)like that one.
Good eye with this one. Also, can’t wait for you to be my shopping guru once I get to DC.
Tracee has a killer shape as well! Great post. I like that you mentioned Single Ladies, I think Val’s(Stacey Dash) wardrobe on the show is KILLER, everyone else is *meh*
OMG, I Love me some Joan Clayton too!! To me she was always the fashion forward one of the crew! Even in her real life, she makes amazing fashion statements! Did you know she has a degree in fashion?!?! So I think alot of what she brought to the show was from her own passion for clothes! 🙂
The episode with the halter shirt and the flare pants is imprinted in my mind as well. It was pure perfection. She reps for the hippy girls.
Agreed..Love her and her style..I wonder if she will “bring it” with the style/fashion in her new upcoming show.

I love Girlfriends too and wish they had a movie like Sex and the city but thats wishful thinking! Joan did have great style! I thought i was the only one that digged the crisp pencil skirt look even though i’m a dress girl!
the skirt she is wearing is beyond fierce!
