There is something quite charming about this picture and, yes, of course it was the red socks which drew me into it, but it was also the hair and the skin tones, as well as the geometry of the photo, particularly the manner in which her upper and lower halves suggest two triangles or a diamond. I'm not quite sure what to make of her outfit, but there is a little bit of risque loveliness present in the way that a wee bit of white peeps out from under the coat, while the shorts serve only draw the eye in a little bit more. Good eye in finding this shot, Scott!
This girl reminds me of one of the characters from Sofia Coppola's movie, the Virgin Suicides. She's very indie chic in that youthful innocent way. Money and expensive clothes can't buy you this style.
soo cute, youthful and relaxed, the coats cut is fab and teamed well with the cons. but i am sick to death of long hair worn down like this, she would look even more cute and casual if she twisted it up…
i'm always impressed when people can incorporate chucks with chic-er (i know i made that up haha) looks. my favorite part has to be the red socks though
That is some excellent pink-cheeked cuteness right there. Is she wearing two watches? Because if she is, I am charmed. Altho' I am already charmed by the mad juxtaposition of her goofy Chucks and her polished coat.
Looking good in a great jacket and, for once, comfortable shoes. Seriously, some of the women's shoes in recent photos are just scary.
I also like the composition of the photo, the black/white color scheme, and the way the blotches of color in the window (yellow, blue, red/orange) echo the colors in her hair, cheeks, watches and socks.
Regardless… time to bury the Converse shoes. They've had their time, welcome to the 21st Century. Move on.
I detest basketball and I don't need to be reminded of a pointless game in the street with a relic design that barely passed for shoes in the first place.
Calculated pose with one foot over the other that is soporific.
The white stone cherubs behind her make the story.
She's a grown-up cherub in the flesh. Her legs have grown long from their previous chubbiness. She's wearing black to show she's ready for adult action.
scrolling this pic down i expected some chic shoes to go with the simple and great black coat. chuks and red socks surprised me and i like it this way better :):)so i am buyng some sucks to go with my black coats and my convers
I have to say I think your London collection is fantastic and stands apart from other recent entries. Brits always do seem to have that edgy, mod coolness in the way they dress.
I would have placed this as a Paris look with the coat. The foowear, however, add a bit of British tomboy chic. Her long hair adds to her elongated and pretty look.
Im living in Thessaloniki, Grecee. Today a good friend talk to me about you. I saw a lot of your foto and i like very much the "what" and the"" how". The moment you are catching. Come here if you can, i thing that it will be very interesting for you. Thanks a lot and many wishes for marry Cristmas and happy new year! Keep walking!
