I really the scarf tucked in underneath the coat and the collar worn up. The skirt sticking out under teh double breasted grey jacket is totally endearing. I love the chunky scarf, but unfortunetly in Oz scarfs and big coats aren’t experimented with often. Its those little details or accidentals that finish it off. Oh, and the cigarette.
The young lady on the right looks like she could be pretty & pulled together but I don’t understand why she left the house wearing her sofa throw. Granted, the pattern & colors look cool but it drowns her out and I’m left wondering who is buried underneath?
The scarf (right) is over-the-top big, but I like that. Once I saw a boy walking around in the dead of winter wrapped up in a huge antique Kashmir paisley shawl, probably bedspread size. It was stunning, in a good way, and probably really warm.
What, really? I LOVE the girl on the right for wearing the blanket/scarf. It’s whimsical and daring but so subtle that you wonder if she didn’t even intend for it to be whimsical or daring… which is the best part! It’s cartoonish and exaggerated and not …immediately attractive in the conventional sense, sure. But that’s why I love and live in New York…
the woman on the right with the large, hated by many, scarf is creating a beautiful sculpture of herself…if it can work in couture…why not try and make volume work on the street?
I certainly don’t think that she is hiding her face, I see it quite clearly.
THe once thing that bugs me about the woman on the left, is that the boots end and the skirst start at the same height….I prefer either overlap or some leg shown….
That scarf is utterly ridiculous. I’m sure she can’t even look down or turn her head, or talk to anyone without her mouth being swallowed up by her scarf.
I’m all for the ‘plentiful scarf’ look, but I think there needs to be a limit..
Wow, is the girl on the right real? She’s so a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! She looks like a character in a manga… The scarf, the posture, the coat, the shoes, the facial expression… so self confident! So cute! ;)

Kewl. Both look great. Blue coat woman’s look is somehow very retro, very working woman mid 70s…

Bulky scarf? No.
Maybe if it were colorful it would fly. But in the monochrome it is just dull. She could use the excess to cover her head in shame.
The one on the left is lovely in her understated grace. The cigarette as accessory works for this gritty street scene.

Is that a scarf or a python? It looks life-threatening!
And the cigarette sadly is.

I think were the hair more tidy the gianormous scarf would be more striking.

Those brown boots are beautiful, too!

Wow, people are getting nasty in these comments.
I love the huge scarf and the double breasted grey coat on the right; the blue coat on the left is lovely too. They make a nice pair.
