Super cute outfit!

She’s dressed quite awkwardly and yet she looks so cool. Perhaps it’s the bike, or the I-don’t-really-care attitude that make it work.

Another example of things I like individually, but not together. I see the shirt with a boyfriend jean and a cute, bright sneaker. The skirt with a tank and sandals. The bright blue socks with the shoes – a cool look – I see with a dressy top+skirt, or dress, or skinny jean.
I’ve noticed a trend in your photography Scott – you used to take more photos of the obviously fab; now, your subjects question what style really is. Not necessarily “fabulous”, but different, which sparks dialogue. Some of the subjects look so decidedly un-stylish I wonder if you’re testing us!!!

OMG! I had an incredibly similar skirt when I was little!! I love your latest fashion photos, but I truly appreciate when you feature people dressed in pieces that are unique. Most fashion bloggers end up wearing the same pieces all the time, and therefore, looking all the same. Unique, personal style is a becoming a lost art form, especially with people shopping constantly instead of taking care of what they already have and challenging themselves to wear it in interesting new ways. That’s what I try to do in my blog every day! Thanks for posting!

this is a cold mess. i’m all for a good thriftstore look but this one is lacking grace in proportion, color and fit. it might have been cute if she were nine but as an adult a little bit more consideration is needed – especially for a thriftstore look. i’ve known and have been both, a woman who rides on a bike in the city and who specializes in the thrift shopping.

The sailboat applique on the skirt is adorable…and very on trend. It gives the skirt a 1970s vibe. I’d pair it with a red and white striped raglan short sleeve top.

I now realize that an A-line skirt below the knee is hard to wear. It tends to look frumpy. An A-line skirt at the knee (or to the ankle) (or cheerleader mini) is generally more flattering.
She should be wearing khaki pedal pushers or even jean cutoffs, with retro Adidas tennis shoes or something.

Must confess, didn’t like it initially and now I can’t even remember why. Must not have been that important.

May 1, 2012 at 4:14 pm
I’m not thrilled with this either, so I’m wondering why you shot it… bikes are a great accessory, but she truly doesn’t look comfortable in this outfit. I wonder if that is the real problem…

Yet, I’m left wondering what you saw in an outfit that’s ill-proportioned, not flattering to her form. Baggy T and too-long skirt. And sport socks with gorgeous boots… ? Nothing appeals here, except perhaps girls in skirts look cool on bikes! Absolutely!

I get a sense of personality and personal aesthetic from this, and, honestly, based on that impression, if I were given a choice between being seated at dinner next to this lovely young woman or some of the “fashionistas” often seen on this site, I’d choose this woman in an instant.

I think its the wrinkled top that doesn’t work and makes the whole thing look “laundry day”. Put a different top on it and the booties, bright blue socks and even the skirt would work. Not a high fashion look, but a very individual one.

That length, cut, drape.. the silhouette of that skirt is so unseemly. I don’t care for it but I guess I understand the appeal to some. I agree with lizpr, some of these shots seem to make us question what the definition of “style” actually is.

Laura
May 7, 2012 at 10:04 pm
Boring!
Frumpy a-line skirts with just as frumpy ankle boots are not flattering at all. Her outfit is nothing special and definitely not cool. I think that just because it’s posted on this blog everyone is immediately caught up in believing that it must be cool and great.
It can’t be possible that every single post about this image is positive. Can these posts be a place were differing opinions are possible or is it that the team at the sartorialist like to control the way we perceive looks and therefore only post the thoughts that are in praise of an image?
An on that premise I guess that means this post won’t be posted. let’s embrace both the diversity of style AND most importantly, the diversity of thoughts.

Violante
May 15, 2012 at 2:34 pm
By far my favorite photo. This person is cool. Very cool.
The rare, creative individual who knows what she likes &
puts it together well- for herself. It’s unique
self-expression without a single false note.
No doubt she has fantastic style – all her own.
Is there any other kind? Personally, i love the retro
skirt for biking & the juxtaposition of girlie with tomboy.
Strikes an intriguinging balance within a mutlti-faceted
context. She seems unpretentious, creative, intelligent &
complex. I think the outfit, on her, (which she probably did just
throw together) is adorable, sexy, tough, sweet,
provocative & mysterious, i.e. inviolate to labeling.
Anne
May 16, 2012 at 6:05 am
^ Wow “Violante”, you certainly judge a LOT about a person based on what they wear–i.e. kitschy sailboat skirt.
I could reverse the “unique, creative, intelligent, complex” with pretentious dime-a-dozen hipster following the current DIY-meets-nautical trend. But you know, I don’t really judge the entirety of someone’s character on their clothing.
