Why:
Oh! I love this outfit so much!! The pink! The animal print! Two of my most very favorite things!  I also really like the way the turtle neck looks with the blazer.  I know I’m mentioned Diane Keaton as a style icon of mine before, but yesterday I saw an interview with her on the Today show.  She has her look, but she’s also just so real. It’s like - you can tell she’s wearing things she’s had in her closet for years. I wonder how many white button up shirts she has? And turtlenecks? With big necklaces. Gah! I love it. 

In my mind, a true style icon is someone to emulate without exactly copying.  Would Diane Keaton wear a hot pink silk skirt with leopard heels? Probably not. But the turtleneck and blazer (and perhaps the hat?). Probably. Definitely.
