I love how simple this outfit is, and yet it’s so chic. Her bag, the shades of color in her skirt and sweater, the cut of the v neck – it’s all of the little details that make this so special.

Nb : I was so disappointed to miss you @ Colette when you signed your amazing book. I would be so glad to keep a "souvenir". I hope that you will come back among us, in Paris.
Nevertheless, your book is great !

for me it is the balance
the jumper is long but not too long
the skirt is short but not too short
and the necklace adds that flash of magic

I wonder if environment may have played a part in her choices at a subconscious level? (Or any of us for that matter). I love how the colour of the wall behind her is the perfect backdrop for her outfit.

the woman is beautiful and healthy. and those are the best gladiators i've ever seen.

Her clothing is simple and casual but I bet it's all quality stuff. Especially that bag – to die for. Love the neutrals, short skirt under long but not bulky sweater, would love to see the necklace, like the shoes that fade into her feet, and she looks comfortable. Proportions are perfect.
Emily
October 23, 2009 at 12:45 pm
You're spot-on about the outfit, but my favourite part of the shot is how the light doesn't just hit her, it illuminates her. It catches the chains on her bag and the colours in her hair and kind of wraps her in a glow that you can't get any other way. Perfect.
Maria

I love the simplicity in this outfit, and yet it's so stylish. The combination is risky, this kind of shorts with this kind of sandals, but she gets away with it. And how!
