The Sartorialist

The look of happiness !

It’s an usual look to see on the streets..
Still trying to figure it out where is she going like that?

I’m sorry but the Converse are the only thing I like about this outfit. Good photo, though

That shirt is amazing! and I’m loving the converse.

I am quite a fan of the top & skirt combo, much less of the shoes. The pose makes for an odd but interesting picture.

The outfit’s crap, yet she looks amazing. I think that’s called personal style.

She is finding her look.

She’s got my attention and probably yours. Let’s give her a little slack. She’s got a lifetime to work with.

To the folks who post using phrases like “Sorry, no,” “Um, no,” and anything prefaced with “I’m sorry:” this isn’t “Hot or Not,” and your role isn’t to give these photos a thumbs up or thumbs down. I don’t like much about this look or the way the gal comports herself, but why on earth pull out a response like “no” to a person’s personal style? And, “I’m sorry” reads like you’re some sort of judge with the authority to nix or praise someone’s look. If tomorrow you compliment someone’s Paris runway style or someone who looks like you, think hard about why you think how you do and how you express those ideas to others. I don’t mean to be at all negative here, but I see these comments all the time about the folks pictured here who have a personal style very different from many of our own. Thanks for listening :)

not my style but this one gets interesting. the shapes relate, the black in the shirt, socks and in the detail of the shoes. some how the disagreement between the shimmer/ sequins and the paisley… it i see it.

Ciascuno ha i propri gusti così come il proprio stile che liberamente può interpretare ma altrettanto liberamente ciascuno può esprimere la propria opinione su quello stesso stile e in questo caso mi sento di condividere il “Sorry, but no” .

I really like her look, even though its not conventional. I definitely like the skirt more than the shirt, mainly because of all the dark colors that still seem to add boldness to the outfit.

after recently living & working in stockholm for 3 years, your recent posts remind me of all the days seeing interesting & beautiful people everywhere. i can appreciate all of these looks and styles! love them!

There’s just way to much volume to the blouse and skirt. I think one or the other should have been less in volume; it takes away from her slinderness. But I do love her messy hair and the colour, is to die for…

She looks depressed;-(. The clothes reflect this. If she was happy/smiling she’d be beautiful.

I find it very interesting and inspiring…this picture spoke to me…not everyone can understand this style and picture which makes it special because it has something enigmatic and personal..it is refreshing to see this…I am fed up of seeing overdone high fashion styles that are repeated and dont talk from the soul..there are so many people who cover up their emotions…does one always have to smile, or show they are happy…sadness also has its beauty….

Just to second Stephanie’s comment (11:23AM), there’s no reason not to make negative/critical comments (unless you count the feelings of the person photographed…which I sure as hell do). What’s odd is to position yourself as the judge of good style. Liking/not liking something about an outfit, photo, etc. is totally legit. Saying it in a way that includes apologizing to Scott (is that what “sorry” means? or are you apologizing to the photo subject?) or whatever is just kind of arrogant and without substance. Stephanie might have been a bit more diplomatic in her comments, IMHO, tho. (For what it’s worth, I wish this photo’s subject would hold her head high so we could see her face. It looks to be a strong and pretty one.)

Great pose, fabulous picture!

As so often happens, I agree with M. Da Chump–there are times when I know there’s no real point to making a negative comment, and those times are when I feel snarky for the sake of snark. I’ve been judiciously “non-posted” too, and I always, upon reflection, knew why.

And I love Stephanie’s response to the “ragamuffin” challenge. It is indeed one thing to offer a reasoned comment on why one thinks a look doesn’t work; it’s another to simply cast aspersion from on high. Though I would love to be able to list “Holy water sprinkler of style” on my CV…

BTW, I dig the look in the photo. It captures a DIY hippie-punk vibe I truly love.

R/E Stephanie’s comment- Part of the enjoyment of this blog is agreeing or not agreeing with what is presented. As long is it not unusally vitrolic or crass one should be free to formulate an opinion. Despite you reservations I will continue to use “sorry,not” or “no” if it is something I don’t like. I may support others’ decisions in what they wear but I don’t have to agree.

I love the Chuck Taylors.. but dont like the look!

i love this. it’s like she’s already bored of hearing us all evaluate her style before we even started, daring the world to tell her, “um, no” in any respect.
very anti-establishment, intriguing, and colourful. i am so down.

Its alternative. Somehow I doubt she would want someone that lusts for designer shoes to love how she looks. But I certainly like it. I wouldn’t wear it now, but maybe if I was 19 i would have. I know that a lot of people at the U would love this.

My wife loves the skirt.. lovely.

@Stephanie: Commenting “Sorry, no” is simply being polite, as it would be rude to go into the myriad ways an outfit/person/pose falls short of aesethetic pleasure.

Ow I really love this combination between the chic top and the grunge skirt! she s got an interesting style! xx

She looks amazing, love her style!

I think she looks great….but to those people who post anything that has the word “sorry” in it….. If you are sorry that you are writing a post, then you should know not to post it.
