I love this look.
Tweedy herringbone, navy dots, leather, a touch of fur and a shock of color.
I love that she uses so many elements of design: color, pattern, texture, proportion.
I also love that a man can be just as inspired by this as a woman.

too cerebral. i want to see the idea, not the thought process.
each piece on it’s own is brilliant, save the hat. once assembled though, it gets too busy. the red splash is haute, but it’s placement looks entirely contrived.

Her style is a perfect mix of masculine and feminine. A bit quirky. Comfortable without being too casual. And not a bit concerned with what’s “in fashion”, I especially love that.
And she’s so pretty!

She takes a good picture, sweet, demure pose. Love the close up where you can see all the textures, prints and details. To elimate some of the bulk in the waist area it would’ve been better if she were wearing pants with a wider waistband. Also this could be improved if the bag were more structured and the fur was less unkempt. Btw old lady shoes just aren’t attractive.

This girl is a cutey to boot! I like your perspective and use of the available lighting–it does not overpower, the light is an accessory that accentuates her look. She seems dark, smoky and sexy (sly smile!)while the shock of red sweater adds a jolt. Bomb genius, Sart!!
