I’m pretty sure she said her jacket was Derek Lam for Tod’s. If this is what the new Tod’s is going to look like then we have an even better reason to spend more time (and money) there.
She looks fantastic! There is something slightly unexpected about an open-toe shoe with a warm jacket, and I love it.
This is a qualm I used to face in NY when I was going out at night to meet friends in the colder months. I was brainwashed by my midwest mom that I could never wear an open-toe in cold weather, but secretly I knew that it must be possible! It’s great to see it during the day in this case!
This outfit is attainable rather than aspirational (that said, I have no idea how much this particular coat costs). The general gist of it, however, is casual style and it’s very nice…even with “skinny jeans.”
Is that Amanda Brooks? Her eyes are piercing. Meanwhile I like the jacket but then immediately saw the open-toed shoes. They’re chunky enough for the jacket but not the right season.
I find her outfit a bit too mix-and-matchy, and considering how cold it was during Fashion Week, I wonder if that coat alone kept her warm? Liked the jacket though- it looks very plush and well made.
Amanda Cutter Brooks looks fabulous as usual! And as for the open toe shoes: fashion SHOULDN’T be practical. So what if she’s freezing? She looks great!
As I said before, she looks great, but she could still look great with the right shoe for that kind of weather! If she had the shoe for winter she would be looking fantastic!
I gather from the comments that this person is a fashion personality? Those shoes really anchor her in fashion victim territory. Good fashion often reflects the capacity to think out-of-the-box. But this looks more like a feeble attempt to say “look at me.” Pity, because as lovely as she is, she doesn’t need such gimmicks. haapi
Tend to agree with the shoe comments – have heard that the past few days have been less cold (but was this an older pic?), but even so, I struggle with season-inappropriate clothing.
You feel like saying, “Yes, you look fabulous, we’re all looking at you…but now put some woolen socks and gloves on! Please!”
everything’s too matchy, like her shoes, purse, and the jacket are all brown. not too crazy about this look, although her white top is simply fabulous.
My midwestern mom also believes in wearing holiday-inspired sweaters with “seasonally appropriate” embroidery. God love her. ;)
Some people don’t mind cold extremities. For instance, I often don’t wear gloves in the winter, leaving my fingers exposed. I really don’t see the difference. And before anyone says it, my coat doesn’t have pockets, so I don’t shove my exposed fingers into them to get warm.
If we’re going to give props to 20 year-olds who dress like grannys and 75 year-olds who dress like kids or like leopards, then can’t we give her a break on the shoe choice? ;)
I think she looks really good. Put together and matching in a cooler way than we are use to saying, it isn’t matchy it just matches. Which is actually a little refreshing considering how unpopular matching has become (I don’t personally like matching, for the record, but it works on her). About the shoe choice, I think its moot. While she must have been cold when outside, she obvioulsy wasn’t trekking far from her chauffered escalade into the tents. AND my theroy has always been that I never feel particularly warm despite bundling up, so if I feel better in something that isn’t *completely* seasonally appropriate, why not?

She looks cute for September, but last week it was 7 degrees some mornings in New York and therefore looks ridiculous. Bare Hands? Bare Toes? Ugh.

It always annoys me when someone dresses for winter up top and sports bare feet as if it’s mild weather below.

Open toes is winter is just stupid. Just like wearing a Parka in July. Your midwestern mom had the right idea.

The coat and the sweater look great. All she needs is a nice pair of boots.

If her hair were pulled back, it would make the look sexier.
