I'm not sure about those shoes but the elbow patches are goooood

Nothing pretentious here at all. I like the denim, jumper and the ring is quite cool as well.

I love the shoes

i love the colors!

love the ring and chocolate scarf..

The jeans and sweater(love the elbow patches) go really well together. I especially like where positioned her, the rich blue background really compliments her!

love her sweater so much. and i like the colors she mixed: brown, dark brown, dark blue, maroon… for some the combination might be too dark but i like it.

why not!! lovely

Amazing!
Love this sweater!

Anyone know where her shoes are from?

Looks what I wore the other day actually. Haha I do need more sweaters in my life though. Just waiting to go home to Michigan less sales tax :)

very confortable outfit, I don't like the shoes…they are terrible!

is it just me or does she look like a brunette Anna Wintour???

Dansko…just what the doctor ordered.

The ring and the elbow thingy are nice.

Thought she was regular until you zoomed in on the details.

Nice!

SHOES ARE DANSKOS: very comfortable. Nurses wear them. I've owned two pair for five years. They make more versions (even dress shoes) than the traditional clog seen here.

Casual/minimalistic. Love the elbow patch sweater. Not too crazy about the shoes, though.

A very stylish woman! I like this combination even for me! (I´m a man)

Elbow patches!! <3

I really want to move to somewhere with more people and more styles.

Love your eye for detail.

Most people would walk by and not realise how soothing to the eye this entire look really is!

its all about the little details…I love these…very elegant. Goes to show that it doesn't take a whole lot to be elegant, just how you wear it.

I love the shade of blue on her sweater!

Oh I love the first picture. The blue background, with the womans different shades of blue make the picture very film noir. The purple socks are a wonderful contrast. :)

Pretty and Simple :))

Really dislike those shoes as a rule . . . but do like her ring, the dark blue on dark blue and the slit in the side of the sweater which allows for a peek of the t-shirt.

I love this because it is so chilled out and stylish at th same time! See style can be comfortable!

Are those jeans APC?

iamsoagree

The entire color palette is so settled and therefore intriguing. Love the understated look.

But it all comes down to the socks! Great!

Please somebody tell a European women which brand are these shoes and can I buy them in internet? Thanks!I love this no-nonsense, still attractive and feminine style.

i love too

The sweater is APC too, not Forever 21. I have it, but it doesn't fit me as well.

cosy and comfortable.
inky navy is the 'new black'.

Loving the colors of the outfit, the ring (of course!) and I am a fan of the shoes. I wear similar ones almost daily to work – with jeans or with a skirt/sweater/tights.

I normally read this blog via Google Reader but had to visit the original post to see if there would be comments on the shoes. I figure you either love 'em or hate 'em.

the sweater is from APC

Chocolate colored scarf. Great accessory. But I think it wouldn't make as big an impact if the background were different. So kudos to the photographer.

MY GAWD!! This is as basic as one can get without being nekkid!

Love this outfit! The jeans, sweater and scarf.

But the shoes… Not really.

everything looks better with APC :)

I love seeing Danskos on this site! This is exactly how I dress (in the winter in Northern California!) when I'm not in the office, although I prefer clogs without the exposed staples. That's an important detail. Sanita (which I think is owned by Danskos) makes some. I think you have to look with more creative eyes to see that this look can be very sexy.

I truly love the clogs. Classy, grounded, artistic.

Brown Eyed Girl: All I have to say is, quoted for truth! I'm big on this comfy-looking combo, and I pretty much am full-on coveting the sweater with elbow-patches.

That jumper is perfection, exactly the kind I've been lusting over for months x

Dislike the shoes. They belong in the hospital ward and kitchen where they have a function. Her style and outfit is beautiful.

i love my dansko shoes, too (aka the most comfy, practical, go-to shoes ever made). she looks comfortable and stylish!

Winter in NY this year is meh! Very uninspiring. Where are all the beautiful coats/bags/shoes we saw last year?

The patches remind me of a sportcoat I saw a guy wearing in Baltimore once, they were shaped like skulls but done in a very clean, simple design. Either way, very classic.

love the ring !

I LOVE elbow patches :] classy. Nice catch

Agreee with 82 Brute, this picture comes tohgether because of the blue context, i.e. background storefront, painted blue standpipe…..and even the bluish cast to the concrete sidewalk. Without the backdrop, the outfit is utilitarian and unremarkable…..and nothing wrong with dat. BTW, Dansko Professionals rule.

I got a little excited when I saw this pic. Immediately loved the the blue then I saw the shoes! I started my Dansko obsession a few years ago and am always asked what they are. A great shoe, most comfortable ever and look very cool if you pick the right one. They are not just nursing shoes. The hard part is finding the entire range. Can't buy them in Australia so I hunt them down online.

So great to see this amid your long roll of designer shots! Merry Christmas xxx

To those who "don't get the shoes" – The shoes are beyond New York – just sayin.

When did you take this picture of me?? I even own those shoes, mine are Josef Seibel, and despite their 'surgery' appearance, great comfy shoes. The patch makes that sweater.

clogs: barf!

I loved…

love the elbow patch much

http://vernisaongle.blogspot.com

One defense for the shoes is that there was a sale going on at APC Soho which was probably when this pic was taken. Their staffers stand and walk and climb stairs all day. You really do want some comfortable shoes to wear. For those who haven't been, the APC Soho store is gorgeous and and their staff is extremely friendly.

love the chunked-up socks with clogs

I love the elbow patches on the sweater. The pop of color on the socks is nice as well.
My Heart Blogged

Classic NY look: the styles are simple, but high-quality, and the colors look beautiful together. Great shot. But isn't she cold?

Patches are a must for this season! Her style is totally relaxed, we love the simplicity of it!

Cheers, B & Liv

very cozy and simple…but for some reason theirs something different about this. I love it and would love a sweater with the patchwork like that!

http://myatypicalmantality.blogspot.com/

Love the PATCH. The BLUE, BROWN, BURGUNDY and peeping GRAY. The Silver ring and black rock. BUT eeeewwww are those Swanx she's wearing?!? They are UGLY.- Milan Cu.

She made me a latte this morning.

Elbow pad sweaters are so cool. feel like english rugby coming into play :)

strange, we already had patches on ladies' knits for this season in holland and germany and it was a great succes. for men's it is completely over. had it for 2 seasons and last season it was already less contrasty

Have I mentioned that I have an obsession with the brown & blue look? It is great to see it back (with a vengeance?) everywhere in the world. I also love the simplicity of the look: simplicity is a key word of fashion in NYC, Paris, Milan (unfortunately, not in London).

This is amazing

I love that woolen jacket.
http://www.silk-soul.com/

Really awesome. Thanks for share with us. Buy sarees, salwar kameez, Lehenga choli from sareez.com…

I love how she is sitting in front of a blue building. She probably color coordinated her jeans knowing she would be there that day. Oh, and the shoes are to die for…And I would bet that the cell phone is color coordinated also. She is so amazing!

Liking the ring, not sure about the shoes though

its all about the elbow patch.

CESTDEMODE.blogspot.com

Love the color combo and whole outfit; also because she's not trying so hard to be hip and photograph-able!

the sweater is great i love the way she wore these socks, but the shoes… not sure about them.

It was very funny to see comments about what brand the shoes are. Danskos. They are the shoes people wear when they are on their feet doing work like teaching, nursing, and other helping type occupations where sitting down is a luxury. So for those of you getting all uppity about someone wearing something not so trendy or stylish I say…walk in our feet and see if you don't change your mind! In my eyes she looks absolutely perfect.

Love the ring and the sweater.

I have to agree with "Anonymous" that YES, stylish & comfy chicks agree… love that you shot a girl in Danskos. Even if it was for her ring & elbow patches… I LOVE these shoes and consider myself a fairly stylish girl. :) So consider my joy when I see them on your blog! Well done! Well done!

not danskos!!! what is this, forefrontfashion.com?! how very maine.

I like that. That would actually even a possibility for me because it looks easy.

Love the Danskos and that is the first thing I noticed. I almost wear them exclusively…I am not a chef, a nurse or other. I am a designer! Been wearing them for years, so comfy. for those who don't like them, just wait…you'll be wearing them in a few….very on trend.

Love 'em or hate 'em, Danskos CAN be ROCKED! Cool socks, no socks, tights and a teeny skirt, jeans with just the right length (like hers)or rolled…Some of us just can't wear stilettos (in my case, a slight gait disability). Rock what you've got!!

Love it! Clogs are my best friend even when everyone raises an eyebrow at Dansko clogs. They are wonderful!
I don't even consider them a guilty pleasure because they are just superb.

Of course, the rest of the details with this outfit are lovely as well :)

The few colors take command of this shot: engaging blues, including the sizable ring; browns in the scarf, and the brown and gold in the window's reflection, and the purple of the socks.

The little tuft of light blue of the shirt peeking out from under the sweater and the print on the window. Gee Scott – did you do all of that on purpose? Even if so it just doesn't matter – it is the playful presentation of the hues and shades that make it a wonderful ride for the eye.

even the detailed stitching on the jeans is great .. and Danskos are so comfortable, you can't hate..

i've got a cardigan just like this :)
love the look! x

it's so lovely to see the clogs done well!

To me she comes across as comfortable, poised and assured. I agree that she looks like a artist, or at least many working artists that I've known.

And seriously, what's so unattractive about clogs? They don't turn her feet into overt sex objects, true, but that's okay. There are way uglier shoes out there. Feet slammed forward in skyscraper heels — flesh bulging through straps and chains, toes scrunched or poking over the edge of the sole, bunions and hammertoes — are just as unattractive to others.

Her style decisions have made her hands a visual focal point. If you're turned on by strong, capable-looking, creative women (because that ring is a dead giveaway — it takes a definite personality to casually rock something that large) you'd notice them, and her.

I think everything she has on was chosen deliberately, including the shoes. It pleases me to imagine she's aware of the history of the city where she lives (once "New Amsterdam") and is offering up a sly little nod to Dutch culture.

To me, it's style that doesn't get in the way of living.

very confortable outfit!!

I like everything but the shoes…

http://www.isthisitmodelsreview.com/

I lvoe the socks !!

http://fashiondoesntexist.blogspot.com/

Looks like 90% of women in the northeast on any given saturday.

Danskos may be comfy but they really are just too hideous for words

She looks like Stacy L., who has an office only a few blocks away.

j'adore, très subtile…

what a fantastic sweater! horrid shoes though :x

http://hypnoticfascination.blogspot.com/

Love padded elbows sweaters!

Dark blue is the new black:) I'm liking that colour more and more…It's Zara knit I think, they have pretty good stuff after all. The shoes look comfy but not so fancy though

Did I already tell you to come to Oakland, California to take pictures of high schoolers? Well if Oakland is out of your way you could just take pictures of high schoolers in general. Im curious to see what interesting things people my own age are doing with their clothes.

Great, as usual!
Thanks and regards,

Danskos are great shoes — also popular among equestrian types. You can find them in equestrian catalogs and stores.

The whole look is great… stylish and rustic at the same time.

… a southern CA equestrienne

The clogs are way cuter than booties! Ugh. Talk about cutting your legs off at the ankles, I especially hate the high-heeled "booties". Love the clog look, and not just because they're comfy (they are!).

I look forward to seeing more of this utili-dressing on women and men.

It suits the times in which we now live as we manage our own work, organize stuff via our smart-phones and promote our awesomeness through our understated, humility.

Yes, Danskos, yes, elbow-patches and yes, yes, jeans, dark and lovely …

Also, let us not forget, the hair, the hair, the hair. It is flippy, flirty and a chic alternative to uber-long seductive tresses.

Utili-style to the max.

PS true comment The obroma re Style that doesnt get in the way of life :)

Wow, I love this girl! She dresses exactly how I love to myself many times. Clogs are the best things! and have been since they were reinvented in the 60s/70s. They will stay eternal just like great jeans, cool thongs, t-shirts, simple wool jumpers, brogues and docs.
I didn't even realise that health workers wear them for comfort–I don't think they are worn here in Australia in the health/"on your feet all day" industry…but I can understand why they would be. Anyway, I just like their look–simple, well balanced, a bit funky, yet classic and have connection to practical shoes that have been worn for centuries.
This look is modern traditional and will always look good.

Oh and the moroon socks are the perfect subdued splash of colour in this particular outfit.

wow, if those shoes are from Dansko, then Dansko never looked so chic!

I love the colours and the simplicity!

It just shows the variousity. Simple is fab.

THANK YOU for featuring someone wearing Dansko clogs, I get a lot of flak for mine from people who have never worn them.

LOve your blog…. love the onyx ring!

The backdrop provides a beautiful camoflage.

Funny how some people cannot get over the shoes … that's part of what makes her look work.

Thank you for showing some elements which might be worn in Seattle and can be made to look good

I love the Dansko clogs presented in a forum like this. They are a perfectly proportioned, classic shoe that is comfortable without looking sloppy, as is the entire outfit.

I think it's great of you to show someone wearing a classic, respectable look. Not everyone is fashionable because they try to pull off something odd. Simplistic is stylish too. However, I think this outfit is boring. It looks nice but for safe reasons. I don't see anything special about it.

I don't get the sock and shoe combo. Not in love with the huge ring. I don't want to look like a hater… i love the scarf :)

Nice style…

But what's more impressive are your eyes for capturing it on camera and portraying such a subtle detail so well…

VERY impressive…

That's why there is only one THE Sartorialist!

So I will say it again – just not special.

Loving details…the nordic clogs would look fabulous with a dress that I found in a great online shop: http://www.xoxoma.com
I bought the dress style 229 in colour almost black from swedish trend label odd molly there and it has been a big success so far this winter…
I really love your fotos, xoxo Chris.

LOVE the elbowpads.. what a special sweater and those clogs! can't get enough of the colour composition of this entire photo…

This is so me. the Shoes and the patches. Navy and Burgundy my uniform

The lady would be right at home at a little organic coffee shop in Burlington VT – LOVE the Danskos….wear 'em in the library…we don't apologize for comfort up here…;)

those Dansko clogs belong in the kitchen or the hospital…NOT Soho

I REALLY REALLY love the socks and shoes. Adorable.
i dont love the elbow patches though..

@ Tooty McFrooty the shoes are Dansko clogs. They big over here in the Northwest.

Lovely outfit!

http://www.design-with-love.blogspot.com

my mom's a nurse and she wears the exact same shoes! they're oober comfy!

love your blog. please keep me inspired!

Fine ensemble. I'd wear it.

But her jeans are way too short.

i walked past this stump this past weekend, and it felt familiar. your blog has become part of my consciousness. x

I apreciate that it's cold, but the socks, bulging as they do at the end of skinny cut jeans, detract from the comfortable yet stylish look of the scarf. Love the elbow patches!

Today, i wore a burnt orange sweater with brown suede elbow patches, a big red ring, rolled up jeans, a solid mauvey pink scarf and blue doc martens, sorta weird haha.

I love the combo and the colours, beautifull.

http://mertxehernandez.blogspot.com/

overall it looks good nice top.. I liked it

Normcore at best!

Scott, I think you have a lot to do with normcore trend.
