Jacqueline Kennedy


Dear Mark,

Whenever I think about Jackie Kennedy, I always think about that pink Chanel suit. It’s such an iconic image that it’s hard to picture her in any other outfit.

I always wonder what she thought about as she put on that suit in Dallas.

As she pulled on her stockings, did she have a twinge of doubt?

When she slid on the pink wool skirt, did she wonder if this parade was a bad idea?
 
Did she sense there was something wrong as she slowly did up the buttons on her jacket?

I can imagine her putting her fears aside as she carefully places her pillbox hat on her perfectly styled hair, telling herself that it’s nothing. She fixes a smile on her face, carefully smoothes the wrinkles from her suit and goes to join her husband for the parade.

Love,
Gena
