About DLJ

Hello!  Welcome to Dress Like Jackie! 

Dress Like Jackie (Kennedy) is an up and coming fashion and lifestyle blog.  The blog is inspired by the timeless and preppy style and influence of the classic women of America's past, some of which include: Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Lilly Pulitzer, and Grace Kelly.  Our goal is to inspire people around the world to try and keep the influence of these women alive.  The name of this blog was inspired by my favorite quote, "Dress like Jackie, act like Audrey, inspire like Lilly, and party like Gatsby."

In our culture today it has become acceptable to leave your house in your pajamas to go shopping, not to write thank-you cards, to behave in unspeakable ways, and the list could go on.  We will be posting on proper etiquette, clothing choices, men, monthly favorites, family, and school.  We are not trying to tell anyone how to live their lives - or that their lifestyle is wrong.  This blog is for the people who want to maintain a classy lifestyle and keep preppy alive.

Now, a little back story on the bloggers.  Emerson and I (Carlisle) have known each other for almost 3 years and we were best friends from the start.  We met at my (now our) country club in  October 2012.  She had just moved to the area and her family was looking for a club to join.  I was at the tennis courts and she came out and asked if she could practice with me, since I was alone that day.  Of course, I said yes and we have been friends since that day.  We were soon on the same tennis team and partners.  Although we no longer play tennis for competition, we still enjoy each others company.  I now play volleyball and Emerson is an equestrian.  We love frozen yogurt, Pride and Prejudice (the movie), The Great Gatsby (the book), pink, boys in bow ties, J. Crew, shopping, and Ralph Lauren.

Stay classy!
