My first inspiration :

1) Janet (later episodes) from Three's Company. It was my favourite tv show back then, I watched it religiously. I didn't care for Janet's look/outfits in the early episodes, but in the later ones where she had a semi-mullet hair style, gorgeous yet simple makeup, and the office style outfits - pencil skirt with a thin gold belt, blouse, and heels. She always wore pantyhose, and I absolutely loved it.

2) in the 80s, I remember the tv workout aerobic shows, like 20 minute work out. I loved the tight aerobic suits and spandex leggings the girls would always wear, with leg warmers. I had a few of those but I eventually purged them all.
