Really not a fan of the ‘leggings’ look… but this photo pushes me to flip 180 degrees. Love it! Also: I absolutely love your blog. Keep it goin’!

she looks great – so great that I even forgive her for the failure to wear proper stockings… and that’s a first!

Love the photo. Love her bemused expression, her hair style for her face. The dress is lovely. The leggings and the shoes appear too heavy for the dress, for my taste…I’d prefer her skin there and some lighter heels…but that’s me, a seeker of balance. (“Libra at the nadir”, an astrologer once informed me.) I wonder what others will say…we’ll see, won’t we? – JCH

a part of me is “ewww–too much vivienne westwood’ ad another part is gleeing joyfully… this outfit is a guyilty pleasure. leggings should be out right now, its soo eighties–but its still awesome.

I would lose the leggings. Love the dress, bag & shoes, but hate hate hate the leggings. She has a very French look.

I adore the dress, the bag, the haircut. Very french gamine on holiday in london. But the leggings and the shoes! PLEASE, can we put an end once and for all the leggings and wedges? I can’t say how many times I’ve seen a beautiful ensemble ruined by one or both of these fashion disasters.

I don’t think leggings are for me, but I like this.

The dress looks ‘heavy’, and then is sleeveless. So I like the dark stockings, with the open feet. Like sleeveless feet.

This is absolutely lovely, look at that dress and those shoes! I’m just not a fan of leggings.

She looks just great … her smile underlines her style. But the shoes? Not really gorgeous …

i would normally consider the word “cute” to be anything but a compliment when applied to a woman, but this is an exception. she’s very cute and still very sexy — coy. the particulars of her outfit are almost irrelevant, her attitude is all.

Love the dress, and the whole look for that matter, although it’s a good example of my issue with leggings: when you wear a cute dress, why not wear it on its own? Leggings often are added to add edge just for the sake of it.

it was rainy (note the umbrellas), so i think we all ought to forgive her for wanting to wear something on her legs under the adorable dress!

I agree with you Lorna. Leggings should be worn with a simpler, more tunique like dress (preferably with a higher waistline). This one, would shine on its own.

but great pics, sa always.

PS: Also, the problem with the leggings, is that if they can be a frightful disaster if worn wrongly…

she is supreme. i normally loathe leggings but her sweet countenance makes it forgivable. WORK.

What a look! It takes a lot of attitude to dress like that. And I love the leggings, it’s that kind of “kinky touch” that makes her look so special.
BTW, I a-do-re your new camera!

Adorable. The leggings keep this from being a cliché and those shoes make me positively woozy with desire. I don’t know if I’ll be doing the leggings this season (following the maxim of not wearing things the second time they’re popular if you are old enough to have worn them the first), but with the right look they’re so young and fun.

love the look. she has something really impish going on. :-)

The dress reminds me of Junya Watanabe from a few years ago. I would have preferred full-length tights with this dress, but I think she still looks fantastic.

I hate leggings too BUT that’s the whole point of her style and it works for her. If she were wearing hose or normal shoes, she’d just be wearing a tasteful outfit. The leggings and the wedges make her personal style and she can rock it.

my gosh, this lady is rip-your-heart-out-material. stop toying with my emotions sart.

I like the leggings. Makes the outfit chic rather than bland.
Nice
