Glamazons,

Growing up, we had some beautiful, regal, polished, wise and stylish women on our TV screens. I watched Claire parent her children and call Cliff out, and do it all without getting a wrinkle in her fly jumpsuit. Vivian Banks could make Uncle Phil melt and snap back at Will with the wittiest remark, never a hair out of place.

With them on TV (and my real-life superheroes, my grandmother, mom, aunt and cousin), I just knew the kind of woman I wanted to be. Years later, I still keep a little of Claire‘s poise and Vivian‘s sass on deck as I navigate work and family responsibilities while making sure I’m always dressed to thrill.

That’s why the ’90s kid in me just had to get this shirt to pay homage. They taught us well.

What was your favorite fashion moment from Claire Huxtable and Vivian Banks? And what do you think about this shirt? Tell me in the comments.

Shirt: Apt 349 | Blazer: Old (but love this one) | Shorts: Old (but love this one) | Shoes c/o Just Fab | Lipstick: MAC Heroine

Kisses,

Glamazon Jessica

    Love this look! I agree with the beautiful, smart and talented “TV Moms” we had back in the day. “Claire Huxtable” was just so regal.

      Thanks Khadijah! <3 She was so regal. I always wanted to carry myself like that. Our '90s "TV Moms" were the best!

    Love this tee! Thinking about getting one. What color did you order, the white or the gray? Can’t really tell the colors all that well from the site…

      Hey Typhanie! I got the gray tee. Word to the wise if you purchase the tee: air dry because the heat fades the pic in the dryer a bit. xo
