The New Must Have... the LBJ

I swear I have more to do in the mornings than sit and watch Kelly & Michael, but today I am pretty excited that I did. I was cleaning up the kitchen, and out walks the first guest... Julianna Margulies. I always stop what I am doing to watch this part... I have to check out what the celebrities are wearing, duh!

So, Julianna Margulies confidently strides out looking gorgeous in a sleeveless black jumpsuit accented with several gold necklaces (either wrapped or varying lengths) and very cool green and black platform sandals. The jumpsuit was so great that I must find one immediately. It was so classic, chic and flattering. Forget the LBD, go buy the LBJ.

Julianna told Kelly that her friend, Tess Giberson, was the designer. After googling Tess, I find out that she is a very talented designer (i.e. I loooove her look), but it is expensive. I guess she will be my new go for inspiring looks.

Her aesthetic is more minimalistic with some tailoring... clean looks, but with great detail to how the garment is constructed. Here are several looks from Fall 2012, Resort 2013 and Spring 2013.

Beautiful clothes, right?! But, back to the LBJ... as with any perfect garment, the only tasteful versions seem to be on the expensive side. I am going to work on a new post trying to find more reasonable versions... hopefully with an image of Julianna Margulies from this morning.

For now, I found these two jumpsuits to give you an idea of what I am referring to...
