Each woman exudes an almost spiritual look that is beautiful and seemingly effortless. Again, the women shine through and their clothing accentuates who they are.
that’s funny, i sometimes save some of the pictures you post (for inspiration) and I had saved all three of these. I liked them for the same reasons you did, and actually “planned” to dress this was once I reach a “certain age”. But I couldn’t resist and tried it now, in my 30s.
In general, your blog has surpassed my copious magazine collection as my favorite source of sartorial inspiration.
It’s great to use all white when it is summmer (specially if you live in Brasil). I also like to add some colorful detail.
PS. I’ve been visiting this blog for some weeks and the way i see my outfit has changed: now I pay more attention to what i wear. I really enjoy it. Congrats, Sartorialist!
I wonder if I now qualify for being “un certain age”? Like Daniela, your blog has me paying more attention to the choices I make in clothes. I don’t have a lot of choice these days (being a woman of “un certain age” who’s decided to go back to graduate school full time) but I’m taking notes…
the woman from the last pic absolutely exudes feminity as its best. All of the complexities of a woman can be found in this pic. Not too many women can pull off this look…but very few have tried. Excellent work sart, this photo makes me proud to be a woman!

Wonderful pics. Good commentary, too. You’ve really been spoiling us lately, Sart.

Alas, all-white is a look that doesn’t work on fair-skinned and freckled redheads like me! It almost demands a tan. Dammit.

Sart–do you mind telling us the designers of the pieces you bought to create your white ensemble?

Sorry, the one with the big bag, frizzy hair and sneakers looks a little too certain to me.

White looks nice on models. Unfortunately, every time I wear white, mustard or axle grease somehow finds and attacks me and ends up on my clothes.
White with “life stains” doesn’t look as good, so I don’t wear white much and neither do the women I know.

I wish I had this kind of natural beauty and easy grace at my age, let alone when I reach “a certain age!”

This is a great look. Timeless and the wearer is in control yet looks relaxed and stylish. It is “age exclusive”.
