i am loving all the earth-toned plaids I’m seeing on the streets this season. Very pretty with the grey and I’m feeling the black boots too. But that fur… we’ve progressed enough to not need to kill for the sake of fashion.
Look, her whole outfit is a gradient: it starts warm and organic at the top with fur, then an earth tone plaid poncho that blends into more modern/ technological, definitely colder denim, and finally those sleek black boots. I love it, can you tell?
Speaking of depression era… there’s something about this that seems very Old Hollywood – maybe it’s her Louise Brooks-style black bob combined with the opulent fur stole over fringed plaid that gets me thinking of black-and-white movies about the Old West or Great White North. That’s from the waist up – waist down it’s all very current. Wonder if you have to be European to pull off such a great mix – or maybe American?? I’d love to know which she is ….
The juxtaposition of the fur over the plaid is amazing – and not easy to pull off. Though with that hair especially, she somehow makes it all look perfectly natural.
believe me it’s not that cold…i was in Milan 3 days ago and i was fine in a cardigan, it’s just the italians like to break out the winter wear and dress up as if they were in Moscow.
The textures are definitely very classic, but the cut is not. That is what makes her attire so attractive. The pants and the boots are young without looking to casual, and the coat paired with the stole make the whole thing adult. The juxtaposition of old and young looks so deliberate that gives her a sense of “creative authority”.

Tell her thank you for the dark boots. We’ve missed them with grey.
See how much better this looks.
America, please get over the depression era.

Not my style and I don’t really care for it, but she is rocking the look and that’s what counts most.

Well done! Shawl and fur could have been messy but, she’s put it together right.

Fur over the shawl could have been messy but, she’s done it very well.
A smile like that always helps too.

God, I love those boots. Anyone know what they are, or where I can find similar ones?
Everything is terrific really– the plaid, the hair, the jeans. Great shot.
