The Sartorialist

simple elgeant and chic!

I have often read the main advantage of high heels is that they make your legs look longer, slimmer. What happens when you are wearing very uncomfortable heels, but then wear socks? Does it make your legs look short and stumpy, or is it just me? I would just take the socks off, and this would be a great outfit!

Wow!

love that contrasting color of the scarf with that outfit! :)
goes well with the scenery too!

I absolutely love this look – I am thrilled that "pretty" is everywhere these days! The scarf on the bag is a great touch but I'm not convinced that any pair of legs could get away with socks and pumps.

This how I want to dress as an adult. She's lovely.

Simple but nice…like it very much!!!!

beautiful. gorgeous dress in a hideously urban environment- makes one hell of a picture.

a real breath of fresh air

I am not a fan of the socks/shoe combo but she pulls this off perfectly! Love the Easter Sunday looking outfit with the grafitti in the background…Perfect Opposites!

Bravo on a fab photo find!

So many interesting posts. And a sweet dress by the way =)

Wow! This look would normally make me cringe (the whole grown woman in little girls clothes thing). But she pulls it off. Maybe it's her hair, or the sophisticated bag and shoes? Fashion experts: what is it? I would pair this look with a different dress for myself…something more form-fitting. But this looks great on her.

Such a feminine look

really great (love the socks) but isn't it to cold for that outfit in berlin right now? :)

I dont usually like the socks/pumps combo, but it looks lovely with her outfit, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE the dress and red lipstick, somehow she looks very whimsical in such a simple dress!

So cute! I love the scarf!!! http://loveablescamps.blogspot.com/

Great shot! I am also not very fond of the socks trend but she does it very well. I love the dress!

Very cute! I like it!

I love this! She is beautiful and I love the dress, the socks with pumps, and the scarf on the bag. x

the light is beautiful here. I can feel the warm balmy air…

Is it just me or or is this the most beautiful girl in all the world?

so young, so throwback fresh, I love it. This is a favorite.

Jolie mais poilue non ?

No doubt without the socks her legs would look longer and slimmer, but with the socks she looks so much more interesting, and she hardly needs to take advantage of every available beauty trick.

The background is stupendous. I want that wall!

To address Christy's comment regarding why this works on a lady of this age, I would say it is not merely a slightly mature aesthetic to the look, it is her look, meaning her gaze! look at those eyes… The dress may say Lolita, but the eyes tell a different story.

And red lipstick on a beautiful pout doesn't hurt either.

I love the picture, set against the graffiti on the wall behind, with the bubble letters. Not sure about the outfit, seems vintage to me. I like the touches of black throughout though.

heels and socks confuses me–don't you have to get your shoes in a slightly bigger size to make that comfortable? Or is comfort not an issue? :)

What a great shot! Luv the combo of the scarf and the graffiti in the background… Not to mention the subject!!You wouldn't by any chance know the name of this beautiful young lady? Is it Aline (or Misi)… beacuse if it is, she's an old childhood friend… would luv to know!

Thanks!!

she is captivating!

i wish i could pull off the socks with heels look!

I'm really in love with her.

Love this look! So retro and so cute!

She's stunningly pretty. There's something needed in her way of dress to equal her great looks.

Very young and refreshing take on the spring dress. A playful look with the scarf.

Blair Alarm!

cute girl !

Very nice. Perfect for the summer.

I absolutely love the graffiti in the background! You can't go wrong with contrasting dirty city scenery with a beautiful girl… in my opinion!

My heart is beating out of my chest.

I'm not really keen on socks trend.
But this look is perfect!
And the shot is wonderful.
Your real-street photos are always my favourite.

All so pretty in detail, collar, waistband, scarf. But the sloppy hair just spoils it all.

she is rocking the socks and the shoes.. (:

Kawaii!!

lovely :)

She looks like a chic and moderns Alice (in wonderland).
i like it.

love this dress!! so beautiful and feminine!

Beautiful picture

so so good

She is beautiful. Both she and her outfit remind me of Christina Amphlett of the Divinyls. The little girl gone punk look. Her look is extreme "80's feminine punk" but like Snowflake, she reins it back in with the lovely hair and makeup. I love it!

Its a fine line between pleasure and pain
Youve done it once you can do it again
Whatever you done dont try to explain
Its a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain

I'm a little disconserted by the socks, but I don't mean in a conservative way! I think the whimsical feeling can be projected without heels-with-socks and those too-often-repeated inward-pointing toes.. She's very lovely and the dress is adorable. It reminds me of Scott's writing in the book of how he often/sometimes(?) doesn't like everything about the subject's look, but certain elements of it are striking.

Anybody else think she looks like Donna from That 70's Show?

looking very pretty!!!!
