The Sartorialist

I'm completely smitten with this look. It's how florals should be done. Also, love her excess accessorization, so stylish and unique..

Woooww! Stunning! The colour combination is really inspiring.

She' got a jacket like mine and I love it. She's lookin' great.

I love the colors, the association so original between the military vest and cute flowers dress.

¡wow! Gorgeous!!!

This the same jacket that Garance shot, yes? I loved it with the denim and I love it with this dress! Gorgeous!

Gorgeous dress, beautiful contrast.

I love military jackets especially with something feminine like this lovely dress. Great style inspiration!

she looks like Patti Smith when she was young! The dress is lovely!!

I like how she put a military jacket over such a girly look. :)

I love the colors in that floral print and I love how she toned down the femininity with that jacket.

Love the combo. Gives me inspiration on how to mix my military jacket like this one.

Voguette Aurora! Yess always great class!

I keep thinking this is a floral print when actually its a painterly fabric made to look floral by the colours and embellished hem. Its gorgeous. Love her trinkets too.

perfect. love it.

i am IN LOVE with that dress, j'adore!

how could you resist a girl like this!? I sure couldn't =). Are those Oliver Peoples sunglasses? fabulous.

I can't wait for the crisp, cool fall so I can wear my father's Air Force jacket from Vietnam again! Such inspiration.

oooohhh.. cool. amazing! its beautiful!

I don't understand this military/fatigue/work jacket combined with pretty dresses. Is it an attempt to hide the dress? If you wear a dress, wear it with pride- this one is beautiful. I am sorry, but this appears to be a twelve year old who insists on wearing her favorite jacket over her party dress. Grow up.

Thanks for the inspiration! Since I have the same jacket, now I only need the dress….

I wish I could see more from the dress, because the part of it, that I can see, looks amazing!

omg. this dress is so beautiful!
great picture.

absolutely love it. it's inspiring.

Great look. I have been looking for a jacket like this.
It's nice and simple! Not too short, and not too long, not too bulky. Anyone know where to find it?

Beautiful colors and perfect mix!
Greetings from Milan.

i'm in love with that ruffled edging on her dress. also, love how she is bare-faced, but wearing such a fancy frock mid-day.

NICE DRESS! COLOURS ARE AWESOME! WANT IT ON MY WARDROBE!

Her dress is fabulous!

Wow, nice look. Simple and interesting and functional. The Military/Safari jacket adds a flavor to a cheery, fun underpinning. I recently posted regarding Safari jackets.

Incredibly sweet colors!! I love the juxtaposition of the masculine and feminine here…very cool silver rings too

Delightful and unexpected pairing.

I dunno, I'm not fond of this combination, the jacket looks dumb on top of a full dress like this. I like the dress, but it's a tad too girly for me. I prefer the girl in the second picture, just natural and with a nice stance. She seems burdened to me, with her bag and her rings and her jewelry in general.

Such a feminine, beautiful dress, I love how she added the military jacket to it.

i am in love with her brown bag. I have something similar in my collection.

Re the resemblance to Patti Smith. I don't think Patti Smith would go near a floral ruffle at gunpoint. How about it Patti? Do you follow Sart?

I'm not a girly girl, but even I fell in love with that dress. What rich colors and textures!

In response to Laurent. . . Perhaps she was trying to look like she was 12 because she wanted to have a fun, playful day with her wardrobe. Perhaps it's a nice summer day in Western Europe but it's breezy enough to wear a light jacket. Perhaps she's a sitting editor at Vogue Nippon and she's embodying the Japanese sensibility to mash an abundance of trends together to convey a unique look. Perhaps she really wants to wear her favorite jacket of the moment (which so happens to be a militaristic one) and a dress (in floral) and fell in love with the contrast (also evident in her choice of accessories). Perhaps she's on her way to a show during men's fashion week and not a wedding and she doesn't care what anyone, especially the bride, will think. Perhaps you should have more fun with the way you dress albeit however old you are and stop making snarky comments at the expense of one's personal style. This is fashion and reality at its best, so get over yourself.

I just love how the military style can be mixed with anything. Fantastic!

She knows not to make this look too fussy. Imagine this outfit matched with an updo and au courant aviators? She keeps it boho without looking hobo.

So pretty, the bright frothy dress peeking from all those browns, I wish I could see the dress entire. It looks like it's designed as shirt collar and buttondown on top — unexpected in contrast to the feminine tiers of the skirt.

love the bottom of the dress! Amazing!Looks like scrunchies.

Effortless. Love the contrast between the military jacket and the super-girly tiered/ruffled multicolored dress.

very nice post!

come check out my update of wt i wear today!

nice rigid and dainty combination. and her accessories are perfect to complete the look.

I love this look so much and it absolutely inspires me to stop dressing so safely. I adore the dress its pretty funky for a floral number, and everything she has put with it lifts it above the ordinary.

What a lovely dress! the combination with the military jacket is great and so unexpected

Love the combo so much! Perfect!

Like everything individually but it just looks so fashion-slave contrived. Mash-up has become a tired trend instead of an authentic response to an individual's many facets.

Love the dress! Does anyone know who designed it?

I adore this photo and wish we could see her shoes!! Beautiful.

wonderful look!! the floral dress paired with that utilitarian olive green jacket is pure perfection!

I love her jacket and her accessory choices are really interesting. Her dress is so beautiful! The outfit really works. I've writen a piece about mixing trends such as this on my blog.

beautiful !!
perfect mix ; ))

Such a pretty dress.

The military jacket, IMO, doesn't add anything to it.

More to Cruz, et. al. I guess it is these "mash ups" I don't like.
I interpret it as a non-commitment to a style, as if one wants to wear a feminine dress but has to negate it with a grunge element. No matter the "statement" I dont think the visual design/color complement works to show any pre-thought design concept, but that's me.

I am love love lovinggg this look right now. military jacket on the flirty dress is perfection !!!

-S

Very inspiring!

I love everything about her outfit. The mannish military jacket, the playful rosette dress and the jangle of jewelry. I also love that her hair is a simple ponytail with no heavy makeup. She looks great. Oh and the tan bag works well too. black would have been too heavy.

Love this outfit!
It's like J.Crew-ish.
luv luv;)

i have this exact outfit, only mine is entirely thrift, cost me less than $10, and thanks to a little easy tailoring is totally one of a kind and fits like a glove. thanks for validating my thrifty leap of fashion faith!

wow. everything about this is a mess. the glasses. the purse. true, military can be a cool contrast with feminine, but definitely not working in this case.

interesting colors!

Fabulous outfit, I adore!!

what a lovely dress! i wonder how it looks like without the blazer..

aurora sansone or patti smith?
great women the both

The combination of the military and the floral give a clashing outfit that makes for a unique look. With the military jacket you get a sense of a informal laid back tom boy but with the floral dress you get the sense of a formal high society girl. These two combined makes a look that is utterly adorable and unforgettable.

wish i could see more of the dress…looks fabulous!

I LOVE this look! It's definitely something I'll be wearing for fall. I've gotten some other ideas from the runway shows on http://www.runwaypassport.com.

I plan on rocking the boho, awesome, chic, classy military fem look. gorgerous!

I really want that jacket!

Beautiful dress :)

She's so chic.

Love the juxtaposition of the feminine dress with the military jacket!

She really knows how to pull this eclectic look off! Love the accessories.. is that a Chanel watch? Love it! x

The dress is by Opening Ceremony. It's sold out though but if you look at the website you can still buy some items in the same print (shorts, pants).

I adore this dress! I can see why it sold out. It's the perfect summer dress–not too casual, not too garden party.

I love the juxtaposition of military and floral, soft ruffles and functionality.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
