The hooded raincoat fans out behind her like a super hero’s cape! You go Super Fashion Girl, not only do you look good, but you obviously fight fashion crimes daily!
Charmschool said it for me, the shoes blend into her skin keeping your attention moving upwards. Her frank look seems to say, “Here I am, take it or leave it!” I’ll take it, you elegant thing!
Love the look, definately how i hope to look at her age… Also seen in thesatorialis@style.com from March???. perhaps there just isn’t that many truly stylish people out there….
Alas…this picture disheartens me. I can achieve this level of “chicdom” because I am too practical. It looks cold, I would be so focused on that, that I would never think to wear gloves on my hands but nothing on my legs.
She looks FAB. Note to self, wear neutral, tan shoes with black.
Love it; girl to right also fabulous, but wait, what’s that in the background..looks like fuschia sweater and red ll bean type raincoat. Yikes, is that an American in Paris?!
Viewing your site every morning before work is now a habit…I love your site and have been through the archives many times over! I’m so inspired! This shot: amazingly classy and edgy. I look forward to aging fasionably!
look at the smart peeps, dressed 4 the weather !! Whats this womans story ?? Bloody cold i bet….ah well some people will DO anything to b fashionable….

Why is it that women in Paris can walk in heels in the rain and look fresh and elegant? Maybe Paris has no puddles, so chic can prevail.
