Love this look and she carries it very well. Beautiful combination.

High waist done right. Perfectly chic.

OMG, thats a serious outfit! :) that skirt makes her legs look so long, amazing!

Yes. Keep pushing this look. The bubble will fall and the high waist will prevail. Women will no longer feel the need to garment themselves in a silhouette that resembles a cupcake.

Perfection. The look’s not overthought and she looks completely at ease. I particularly like the pale, almost watery pink of her blouse and the mid-height heel, which is a refreshing change from the extremes of height we’ve been seeing at both ends of the spectrum.

Leave to her to know how to elongate an already elegantly long frame! The high-waist on the skirt is perfect.

Tall, dark and lovely … The proportions are perfect and the details are spot on right down to the Richies.

She has the figure of a perfectly sculptured vase. From her head down to her feet, this woman has captured the art of blending modern with classic as well as sophisticated sexiness with a feminine mystique.

She sure looks great

Bellissima…..to italian girl

Ooh…I don’t care if that blouse is thousands of dollars, where can I get it in every color? so perfect for summer office work!

Gorgeous outfit!

omg, i fell in love with this woman.
how elegant, how stunning is her outfit!
great great great!
must have all her clothes!

Understated. Perfect.

She got the proportions just right!

Isn’t this L’Wren Scott? Mick Jaggers’s girlfriend?

She´s L´Wren Scott!
What a body, nice poise, excellent outfit.

Chic chic chic. Very clean and smart.

What a silhouette! Amazing.

Brown, black ‘n pink with gold?

To say it sounds potentially disturbing: there’s lots of room to go wrong.

To see it actually come together nicely here is great.

Classic styling.

mltt

I love this entire outfit esp the high wasted pencil skirt!

That look never gets old! She would be chic in the ’60 and every decade straight through until now!

That sillhouette is perfection.

fabulous!

WOW! The absolute embodiment of glamour. Fabulous!!!!!

This is what I call style. She has mastered the art of remaining timelesss and classic all the while accentuating her best assets. Ravishing…

It simply does not get any better. The classic shapes, the high/refined waist, the confident pose. This is age appropriate glamour at its simplest and chicest.

Such a loooooooong body line

Superb!

Wow, she makes high-waisted look great!

To me this look represents classic European chic. She could be from the forties, sixties, nineties or the present! A loose button down blouse, carefree ponytail, heels and a high waisted black skirt is a look that will be timeless. With many baby doll and trapeze dresses so popular now its great to see a figure-hugging skirt that suits her beautifully.

It’s nice to see a pegged skirt again.

that pencil skirt fits perfectly. It’s beautiful.

wow! she looks fabulous…what a skirt!

I’m curious if you would have shot this if it wasn’t L’Wren Scott (since there’s nothing especially remarkable out her outfit other than who’s wearing it)?

Wow. Fashion illustration come to life, but with just-right undone buttons, necklace, not-too-sleek hair, and great smile. I love this.

Wonderful silhouette, so chic, so “femme fatale”. I think the key for the pencil skirt is too find the perfect lenght to make your legs look half a mile long.
Hey Sarto, let us know if you plan to visit Oklahoma any time soon, lots of interesting picture material in here ;)

Lovely – I would only change the part in her hair (moved off to the side).

Love the fit of the skirt, the shade of the shirt, and the shape of the sunglasses.

great proportions. i just love the sanity of this look — high style without the cartoonishness of recent fashion.

Yes, of course this silhouette rocks and is universally pleasing, but before everyone starts pushing this for every woman on the street, please remember that the true pencil skirt does not fit well into the average life. The high, fitted waist is fine, but a good taper right below the knees? That also requires at least delicate kitten heels (if not full out stilettos)? It will bind your legs together. The dowdier A-line, trapeze, bubble etc., while uglier, is much more permissable to movement.

What a fantastic silhouette. The classic pencil skirt with a kick. The mannish shirt with the elbow ties.

This look (plus the woman with the green structured skirt worn with a T. And, of course, Renata!) is so inspirational.

It’s the twists that make us smile that elevate the true classics.

… Back to work. darn. it.

– desertwind

yes, her legs look like they go on for miles!

this is really a chic-look for me.

Can you wear this look if you have a bosom?

well done scott!,i love this,theres nothing like seeing a beautiful women wearing a classic look like this….

She looks like an old pattern envelope. Except in that case she might be peeking over her shades.

My instinct was to immeditely wonder how much [even] better that would look if the blouse had a teensy bit if Lycra in it, as the billowy waist is the problem I have when trying to rock this look. But that’s the great thing about this skirt – it defines the waist so there’s no need to worry about losing one’s waist to the cloud of coming-untuckedness after an inevitable lean forward. Sweet.

As a novelty-seeking type, I do usually like the more eclectic looks you capture [in other words, "f*ed up" classics ; )] But still: purrrrdy.

i really like the silouhette.It provides her a perfect style that every women ould like to have.
(i’ll also add that your website is a perpetual source of inspirement in style.thank you!)

The skirt is just perfect.

marvelous skirt

Pretty, classic, chic, & polished. Love this!!

simple, sexy and sophisticated…
I love it. Oh how i wish i could pull it off..

interesting black/brown combo

not sure i like that, but take away the purse and shoes and its fabulous.

oh my god.
she’s amazing
the high wais and the blouse with the high stilettos
wunderful…perfectly chosen

This woman looks great. Love the combination of the super elegant black skirt, which makes her look even svelter and taller and the relaxed, colourful blouse, wrinkled, sleeves rolled up and collar turned up and the natural hair.

so elegant! I like her choice

you dont need to wear bright colors and accessories to look professional

her pose makes her to be more beautiful

This is my favorite look to wear. Hourglass figures look great with a high waist – otherwise if the waist is obscured I look 10 lb heavier at least. The top should have a little looseness to balance the close bottom. The trick is to find the right skirt with a bit of spandex in it to allow movement. If you can’t walk with a pretty normal stride, it’s the wrong one. The fabric of the skirt also needs to be heavy enough to resist underwear lines and wrinkles around the hips. It’s a great work to cocktail look.
