the girl on the top: bless her, she spoilt that sweet dress with the made-for-home shoes and the made-for-war bag. I suppose some people will think the shoes and bag spunkify the dress but I’m afraid its just haram.

the girl on the bottom: this is a beautiful shot. and she is so halal. you captured the all-american tomboy perfectly.

love these shots – stripes are so in now!

these gals look so refreshing in their stripes.

Very cute and summer

and its ragazze

ciao

“Ragazze” of Florence

Greetings

Like the look on both chicks… I have always been partial to orange and some of my favorite ties are variatios of that color. I specially like the dress in the top photo and the converse shoes in the botton. Converse bring back memories from my childhood.

Great pictures!

I love that coral color! and the lighting in the first pic is lovely!

I love stripes! Very nice photos!

Right in the first one,wrong in the second.The difference? Individuality and charm in one,vulgarity and sameness in the other.

Orange. Love. It.

Ah, Firenze. It’s a great city for people watching, and you see some very interesting styles. Funny that these two are wearing the same stripes. The second girl is standing near Pasticceria Paszkowski in Piazza della Repubblica, and in front of the Edison bookstore, two of Florence’s oldest establishments.

I really loved that second look, really casual, and the girl is sooo beautiful!

The first woman looks so natural and comfortable. And stylish! Really, really lovely! This is what beauty is all about, NOT who can cover themselves in the greatest number of designer labels. This is the kind of photo I’ve been dying to see you bring back after a slew of so many models and Vogue staffers. Thank you!

I love the collar on that first top.

I haven’t seen a pair of US flag Chucks like that since I was a very small kid…..basically Bicentennial year. I didn’t even know they made them anymore. The ones I saw back then were low rise, but I dig ‘em either way.

Yipes, stripes! The sundress is particularly nice. Very fresh, and a nice neckline treatment. Striped polo with denim shorts — cliche or classic? The shoes add a little sass — plain white sneaks would definitely be cliche.

I love her converse and also the colour of her shirt..but her shorts!?
It`s not a good combination in my opinion.

So cute! Love everything about this outfit. Wish I could pull off the high tops! Great legs!

In italian, as in most latin languages, words have “gender”.
Ragazzi vs. ragazze is a clear example because it refers to boys and girls, but in general “i” indicates plural for masculine words while “e” indicates plural for feminine words.

Both girls look great.

The second look is something very few people could pull of but it works well on her. What a great neck and posture. Fantastic legs. Her expression is confident, fun-loving and full of curiosity.

Plus, she’s my hair sister. Trust me, it’s so hard to make hair this curly/kinky look any particular way without a professional. It tells YOU what it’s going to do that day and today it told her “I’m gonna have fun so you should too.”

The girl in the second photo is amazing! I love it all. This is true unafraid cool. She’s gorgeous, humorous, chic and smart. This is the first picture in a while that got me right in the heart and gut–pow!–that stab of remembrance that we’re all REALLY alive.

Ouch. Time to wake up.

I’m loving the second girl’s attitude, I’m not really into her outfit, even though that it reflects the way Italian teens dress in a daily basis (or so the ones I met).

And with the best of the meanings, its ‘ragazze’.

Love The Top One (Green W. Envy)

Am I the only one that feels aggravated by all the people who felt the need to correct the italian grammar in the title? honestly. this is about the clothes, take your nitpicking comments elsewhere and let the rest of us enjoy the lovely photos and outfits.

that first dress is beautiful and the lighting is amazing!

:) D

So Americana the second look, but in Italy nonetheless. I feel she makes it fresh to channel a bit of patriotism especially in such a financially dour time.

The only thing that could make the bottom one better would be a shrunken sports jacket.

damn I wish I was free enough to go back to Piazza della Republica. And I miss the rusticated stone of the medici palace. ‘sigh’.

Lots of EU countries are introducing smoking bans in bars and restaurants, therefore you and the Sart will see more smokers outside on the sidewalk.

love the 2nd lady’s shirt!

=/ used to have one like that, highly faded, actually i doubt it was ever this bright.

& her hair rocks

Further correction: in America it’s known as “Waldo” but to us it is, (and always has been for as long as I can remember) “Wally”.
I never quite got what the different name was all about, but oh well! Same dude…

Personally, although i do kind of agree with the other comment about flags on clothing usually being a tad “tacky” i DO love those star spangled converse boots as an exception. They are faded just right and it goes with her shorts and over all look wonderfully!

Girl one looks great in that dress. Good fit.. sweet and comfortably sexy and modest at the same time. I’m fantasizing that the bracelet might have just a touch of coral in it too. I wonder about the bag (yes it works with the shoes.. but) Seems heavy and winter and masculine. Probably a utilitarian choice that day. I do picture her with something light (in color and feel) – same scale and function – but as Spring as her smile.

i really do not understand how the second girl is a representation of “good” personal style .. she’s wearing red, white, and blue chuck tsylors??

So you think they might be twins separated at birth? :o)

that first dress is pure perfection. and she looks so cute too!

Dreamy sorbet/faded carousel colors in the first image!

I have that same dress! And believe it or not, it's from H&M. How great is that, that a dress from H&M made it to get on this page!

Fergie

hey, the second girl is one of the participants of Italia's top model! I recognize her! she looks pretty!
