The Sartorialist

whoa. too much going on for me. colors fabulous. love the step out of the box attitude, but would like to see fanny pack off and longer pants with everything else. would like to know her, however. she's got to be creative and fun!

so cooool

first blog ever!!!!

I agree, a little too much going on, but the smile ties it all together.

No to the hate, the arm warmers, and the shoes. Between the ankles and the shoulders, however, his is a delight!

Ah! A modern Eponine… :)

I can decide what I like best: the scarf or the armwarmers or the bag that matches the scarf. Either way her smile says she put some thought into this outfit. :)

Rule 1: Gigantic, ridiculous scarf is mandatory.

Rule 2: Have a great smile and wear your ostentatious, seasonally-inappropriate outfit with enthusiasm.

lose the money belt, the shoes and the glove and think it would stll carry loads of attitude

a lot of winter accessories for this time of year, but it has been a chilly summer. I like that she seems to be dancing to the beat of her own drummer.

All the colours/tones work. And her cheeky smile is perfect.

It's all very appropriate for a cool summer day – which we've had quite a few of so far, UNTIL you get to the shoes. I guess when you're young you can try and pull that kind of crap and chalk it up to funky personal style. But there really isn't anything unique about a basic pair of Chucks. Like I said I love it from the neck to the knees.
That a whole lotta yellow scarf (too much?).

Can I just go to the fabric store and pick up two yards of something colourful and unfinished and throw it around my neck and go? Is that whats going on now, is that what we're doing?

arm warmers in July? a billowy scarf in July?

it was chilly here yesterday

Not a fan of the pinstripe pants, but the mustard yellow scarf is fantastic.

I'm sure some people don't like this, but this is what she's supposed to do.
I like basic items such as coverse or Nike air force 1 or etc. Even though she wears basic shoes, she does look different and cool. She's got a kind of talent. Creative.
Also The Sartorialist who took a picture of her is great. Thanks for the nice photo.

Amazing colors!!! And such a smile.

THANKS for this fun "un-fashiony" shot. I have been missing street pix of people NOT in the industry.

There's way too much going on here. She needs to edit this look by about 4 or 5 pieces.

I wonder how she dresses when it's actually cold out???

What a beautiful scarf. A plash of sunshine!

I just like the sweater (especially the sleeve) and the pants.
the rest is quite mediocre.

I'm so surprised to see all the hate on this outfit. It makes me wonder if perhaps many have missed the point.

To me this is the epitome of street style: regular people displaying individual flair in unexpected ways. Not "off-duty" model after model wearing expensive designer labels while attempting to out-do each other in their use of black and minimalism. Those individuals simply display good taste.

While this woman displays creativity and enviable ease without sacrificing good taste (no "whore wear", no "look I'm wearing the outfit from the catalog", no directly lifted and poorly recycled 80s trends).

The use of color here is great.
Converse are classic. (Not to mention very practical in a city that requires as much walking as NYC.)
You can tell it's windy by the movement of the scarf, indicating the weather is cool enough to get away with a scarf.
The number of bags makes perfect sense since living in NYC means you have to carry everything, everywhere, all day. So why not 3 small bags instead of one huge ho-hum messenger bag like most of the population.
The scarf and arm warmers give the impression of layering without the weight and warmth of actual layering.

In short, it's a perfect mix street urchin and carefree boho, without looking age-inappropriate. The best part: you get the sense that her outward style is a reflection of her inner spirit.

Someone's got an accessories fetish! Ditch the arm warmers and the hat and I'll be happy. The hat covers way too much of her face.

The vibrant yellow and the deep navy blue sweater are perfect compliments.

Jaunty, fun, creative! Love it!

I am so pleased that Chuck Taylors are an enduring classic…always looking for new ways to wear them.

ooooo!this outfit is perfect!very relaxed and cool!and this girl has a gorgeous gorgeous smile!

It's cool and creative, but it's not a summer favorite for me.

brilliant!! so complicated with everything, but it looks really comfortable!! and so full of life!!

She is dressed like she lives in Vancouver. Too granola. Too hippy.

She is a bit of a train wreck…but then that is what fun is all about!! Who needs perfection?

She is comfortable, a chance-taker and brave, that's sexy because it highlights her confidence. Note: a woman can still be sexy with threads on. I image she has a dope fixed bike to get around – apart from the occasional use of the Metro.

Having that, remove the hat, tie her in an upward ponytail and Voila an urbanmosadi!

Hi again, I thought I left a long comment but perhaps I didn't hit 'publish'.

I was quite moved by two comments: Enid (10:13), I've only been doing a streetstyle blog a few months (in London) & the most stylish 'groups', proportionally, are either brown/black, or asian/oriental. I often go up to someone stylish & white, even blond, and they turn out to be Italian. But oddly, even tho we live in a French neighbourhood, I rarely, if ever, find anyone who I feel is stylish, & turns out to be French. So much for style stereotypes! I felt for you, what you wrote.

2nd: anonymous, 1:40 pm. I felt the same thing. There are ways to say things. The lovely Stephanie C. is a good model to follow. I've often hesitated to post a shot of someone whose look I like, and chose to shoot, because I don't want them hurt by cruel comments. And obviously, my comments are far, far fewer.

If someone is asked to take that leap of faith and pose for a stranger, to be on the internet – if they're excitedly showing their family, friends – can you imagine what a blow it is to read critiques as if they were someone in the 'industry'? I'm sure this girl didn't wake up that morning and consult her stylist because she was going to be on the Sartorialist's blog. She's a regular girl with her own style, which is the whole point! I assume that's what you (the S) were going for: a real person.

But I did think she was dressed a bit warm for summer : ) Perhaps she was just prepared for a cold snap, or works in a super-air conditioned office and was just running out for a bite of lunch.

It makes me feel overheated just looking at her.

what an adorable smile!!

Color combination is inspiring, and it's the attitude that makes this ensemble!

My neighbourhood is chock full of girls dressed in this style, but few of them ever look as good as this!

It can be quite cool in the mornings.

I wish I had her scarf :(

She is the cutest cross between and urban warrior and one of the orphans from Annie. I think it is cute and carefree.

I think removal of the arm warmers (not because i hate them, I LOVE them) would have been enough to get everyone to not feel overwhelmed…(try covering them with your fingers and see the outfit like that)…anyways, she's simply adorable.

i love this one, it's cool…

soooo cute! Makes me want fall to come!! :)

Beautiful colors and smile!

Seattle?

Cutie! get rid of the hat and I think people on this blog would have been a lot nicer. I personally think she's adorable AND fashionable! rock those chucks.

Adorable!

Is that Bibi Farber? Reminds me of her.

a bit messy…

I like this because she looks like a little kid playing Amelia Earhart in her treehouse or something. It's really whimsical and fun, and I think that's what fashion should be. Fun. She clearly enjoyed getting dressed.

i want that scarf so badly!

CUTE …. :)

ridiculously cute. nice touch with the pinstripe pants… and that the first fanny-pack wearer i have ever seen who knows how to rock it.

I like the colors combustion , specially the blue and yellow and I really like her looks :)

She is really cute.

She is looking very cool. Her dressing sense is really very awesome.cheap kamagra jelly

I am bowled by your level of knowledge. I am so impressed. I think you have got a deep insight into this topic.

Hey, Really great work,
I would like to join your blog anyway so please continue sharing with us,
Thanks

hey nice post

Well, The number of bags makes perfect sense since living in NYC means you have to carry everything, everywhere, all day. So why not 3 small bags instead of one huge ho-hum messenger bag like most of the population, thanx.

change your life

well i think that adorable. but subtract the brown arm warmers and brown converse and add some navy sandals and it would be perfect. thanks

Very good style she is having nice eyes and her way of seeing is excellent..
