Jeanne & Jackie

I am not good at challenges, but I set a goal to complete this months Oscraps challenges, and I have 5 of 6 done with the completion of this page.

This is a lift of Helenh's page elegant https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=249698&title=elegant&cat=all . I knew immediately which photo I was going to use. Thank you Helenh for the inspiration.

This is another page in my recent "Jeanne" pages taken of her while visiting China.
Journaling reads: As soon as I came across this photograph of Jeanne traveling abroad, I couldnt help but think of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The epitome of fashion, I saw the scarf perfectly wrapped around Jeannes head, and draped around her neck and I thought about how fabulous a fashion statement it was. In addition, the tailored suit and dark sunglasses all were reminiscent of Jackie. It got me wondering just how many women of the 1960s tried to emulate Jackies fashion. I recall that so many articles were written about Jackie from the time she was First Lady, on. I think back about what I remember about how people dressed in the 60s. It was so different a time in history. Much emphasis was put on being dressed just so, as compared to your basic jeans of today. A big part of me yearns for that special dress and style, where women put a great deal of effort in how they looked and dressed. Oh how I miss that.

***thanks for looking***
Beautiful page, Joanie. The colors and the brushwork and the beads are the perfect elegance for your page and these ladies.
 
So beautiful, Joanie! I really enjoy the thought you put into your journaling. I would love to see real fashion and style come back.
 
Jeanne is sooo elegant!! I remember wanting to dress like and look like Jackie! It was a gracious, more formal time - and then came the 70s!! Love the layout! The pearls are a wonderful touch!
 
You've done it again--sharing insight about a person, a culture, a generation! Wonderful elegance in your design, Joanie! Love the pearls and quote too!
 
Oh, I feel the same way about fashion... the today and before, the page is elegant and a true statement in itself, who is Jeanne?
