The Sartorialist

I absolutely adore this outfit.

Superb, clean, quirky, fresh and laid back. I love how the accesories echo each other and the outfit.

The most creative influence of the Hawaiian lei that we’ve seen in fashion. It works, totally.

Why does she STAND like that, though? Are her shoes uncomfortable?

I love her originality, the layering of the cami, apron dress and necklace. The necklace reminds me of a bangle necklace Dries Van Noten has done for fall, in fact the whole look for me is kind of Dries goes minimalist. She looks charming and elegant.

What’s with the pigeon-toed pose? I see that a lot is ads, is it supposed to be sexy?

love the lei, the belt and the nude shoes, as they let the other elements of the outfit be the stars!

The top looks kind of messy — straighten it out and remove the flowers (which clutter it up) and a correctly-sized belt (one that doesn’t stick out like that) and I think you’d have something.

It’s a cute piece. I like the navy dress (it reminds me of a jumper dress) and the floral necklace to match and the nude pumps (although, id prefer mary janes). It’s almost lolita-inspired, very cute! ^^

am really excited to see your pictures of bryant park and fashion week! cheers from brazil.

IHeartNY!! Embodied, I mean.

that girl is also on facehunter today-. strange

She really does look so fabulous. I’m loving all the navy that’s showing up this season.

This girl is HOT, whats her number

I hate those dumb belts though, earlier this summer i was hooking up with a girl in a back alley outside the club and she had a belt like that over her dress. it’s just a hassle and gets in the way

This girl was on Face Hunter today too! Same outfit.

i like the part from the knees up to the waist. her dress is doing something very beautiful to her legs.

Wow so this is the new fashion math? No fuss, no muss = gorgeous!

sweet.

this fillette has style, innate style.

I think she looks very fresh. The shoes elongate her legs – we don’t notice the shoes, they don’t detract from her at all. None of it does.

I really don’t get the knock-kneed, pigeon-toed stance so popular these days. Good early childhood nutrition and care are nothing to be ashamed of! It’s kind of like making fun of people who weren’t so fortunate and insulting to the parents who made sure you didn’t actually have knock-knees and pigeon-toes!

Then again, maybe she was tired of standing there in heels.

The power of accessories – simple outfit, statement necklace and it works. Lovely.

i agree with the comment about why nude shoes work- simply most other colors would not! i think the outfit is a perfect mix of casual and cute and the floewr necklace adds the perfect touch to make it not boring

Very charming, the colour combination looks wonderful in the warm sunshine and the necklace a whimsy. Tres nice!

She looks scandinavian.. Probably swedish roots..

i love this look… not too perfect, not too casual. i would wear this anytime!

Love the look sans the necklace. So cute otherwise.

Just beautiful…

Lovely and Lucky…this lady was hit twice by the sart and face hunter in one day:) so jealous.

It’s easy to miss the gorgeous composition in this shot! Just look at the background…the trees and sky look like stained glass.

And I love the closed umbrellas on the tables around her…she’s got that same look to her, what with the length of her dress and the belt.

Other than a cami, should could wear a long sleeved t-shirt, but that might look a little odd. I’ve also seen girls wearing those tiny bandeau bras (tops?) under tanks that have this shape. It sometimes works.

And I love her cream shoes.

I do miss those late summer days in Bryant Park. This is a lovely look.

Her shoes are not cream it’s yellow. She looked great that day.

i love this look — fresh, young, fun! the “lei” as it has been referred to is actually a Lizzie Fortunato necklace! Go http://www.lizziefortunatojewels.com to see more — she’s been getting a lot of great press.

she’s on the nyt website too… http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/08/chics-freaks-weekend-warriors/

I’d like to see from another angle but from here she seems to be wearing an apron….which is NAGL.

elegant, chic , beatiful !

I´m in love! With this picture…

I agree that the belt is not sized right. I would lose the lei.

Good choice of shoes. Here’s my take on the pigeon-toed stances…a) Yes, they allude to gawky adolescents b) They can visually elongate limbs and add interest–see compositions where angles add interest to straight lines, and c) Often shows off footwear better.

I really enjoy your blog. It’s definitely a highlight for me!

Face Hunter shot the same girl. Your shot is so much better. And I think it’s what the fabrics are and how they fall crisply against eachother and her that makes it all so brilliant.

she’s the fashion editor at teen vogue.. seems like the magazines in good hands for the fashion forward youth.

she’s gorgeous. i love the navy blue. one of my favorite colors. and it all seems so effortless. the colors are magnificent put together with the reds, pinks, blue, and the pale purple or the lei. i wonder if it was apart of the apron-like dress or a seperate.

this exact same girl was on facehunter!!!!

That’s funny. The Facehunter also thought her adorable. And I think you’re both right.

I absolutely love this look! Especially the shoes are the cherry on the cake! And it doesn´t look too “I want to be stylish”, just as if she took “something” out of the closet!

Hi Scott,

I just moved back to the US after living in Asia for 5 years. I’ve been reading your blog for some time now and always joked with my friends that I would see “The Sartorialist” once I moved to New York.

Well, I stepped out of my evening class at Parsons and low and behold I spotted you on 16th and 5th! Wanted to say hello via the blog because I didn’t want to interrupt your conversation then!

I think this is an appealing outfit because its so chic, yet understandable. Very put together, but not too predictable. Great choice for a shot.

She’s fantastic! Love the lei necklace with the pop of red in the skinny belt. And the nude shoes are perfect.

This is one of my favourite shots ever! Love the nature way of this outfit saying this girl has got a great sence of style…

She’s so fresh and pretty it’s hard to care about the outfit! But LOVE that necklace and itsy belt! All a bit indie – which I like with the smart frock. t.x

I am a very stylish girl:)
I think she`s amaizing, the dress, the belt are so gentle…

I think she’s very pretty. The cloth she’s wearing are not so special, but for me – the belt and the shoes just turn the look to great! The shoes give length to her legs and the belt gives color, waist line and sets in place her rather un-shaped dress.

effortlessy chic afternoon outfit. Bring it on gal

She’s beautiful.
I love skinny belts it completes an outfit especially one that is dark or a solid color such as a black dress would go with a bright colored skinny belt and shoes matching the belt possibly.
I love her style. I think she did a great job with her outfit.

Cheers,
Dianne

this photo is so much better than the shot of her on facehunter. i actually think that the lei is a bit of a genius, but the posture is definitely not.

Love this dress-and would love to know who makes it!! This girl looks adorable. Love the outfit! Great style!

Very Cute girl… But I think shoes don’t match with outfit…

little miss sunshine! she's all perfection in my opinion… absolutely nothing is wrong, and her figure is of course one that could pull off anything, not only this perfect match! <3

She looks great, really elegant and yet at the same time as if she’s thrown it together partly for fun. This outfit is young and experimental, while the colour palette keeps it professional and slick. I am off to recreate it this minute!

Thanks for the excellent posting. I have bookmarked it and I am taking a look ahead to reading new articles. Please keep up the good articles! – wholesale online for christmas day.
