Love the ankle boots (those zippers are hot!), love the skirt. The top, however, I don’t understand. Even a simple white blouse would’ve completed the outfit wonderfully.
The great photographer does it: makes a simple person hanging around looks contextualized with the colors and the moviment of where she is. Muito talentoso!!
ah…to not need a bra! ;) this mixture of lo-fi casualness on her upper half (including the hair!), and the more refined, exact fit and quality of wear on her lower half is always attractive to me…
The belt’s askew, the skirt’s riding up. Her hair color is running. Her legs, while toned, are a bit strange upon closer inspection – there’s a little bump in the midde of the lower right leg.
That is exquisite – sporty, classy and fun. All of it is something to aspire for. For all the wacky outfits in Paris at the moment for Fashion Week, I gravitate towards to beautifully cut and beautifully fitting ensembles – there is something mesmerizing about them.
This lady is pulling it off well because she has a nice figure. The racer back top with the ankle boots are there to remind you of her confidence and audacious nature.
With a skirt like that you would definately expect a nice silk top or a blouse, but I think this grey casual top makes it more original.
And we should’t forget it was really hot yesterday
I absolutely love this mix of a tshirt and such shoes and skirt, it looks fabulous! The cut of the tshirt is extremely sexy and it makes me want to know more about her – mission accomplished!
The top is definitely sexy. The back is one of the sexier areas to show off, and I like the idea of a sporty top. If she wore a white blouse the outfit would be boring. Its not out of place, its exactly what it should be to keep the outfit from being frumpy. The fact that so many people think a blouse would go here explains why most people don’t dress that well. No imagination.
Gorgeous! I think this is the first thing I’ve seen on here that even I would feel comfortable wearing. Stunning and sexy and hot and fashionable. You nailed it Sartorialist. Although, you always do. :)
It doesn’t really work for me.. I don’t like the fit of the skirt on her, and even though many commenters are saying she has an amazing body, I think she’d look better with a few extra pounds.. But well, that generally goes up for most women posted on the blog (or anywhere in the fashion world for that matter).
Very sensual look, and the contrast between the casual top and the more structured & “dressy” skirt is terrific. Love the way the scoops on the shirt echo the flippy bit at the bottom of the skirt, too!
I love this. It’s not perfect, yet it’s extremely captivating, and entirely sexy. That back, that hair, the almost out-of-sight eternal image on her right shoulder blade.
The ill-fit of the top adds to the look in my opinion, and the shoes are va-va.
II think she looks absolutely perfect. I wouldn’t want to see even one extra pound on her. Why do people think its OK to say that a perfectly healthy girl needs to gain weight, but if anyone even suggests an overweight girl needs to LOSE wight its somehow wrong. This woman is perfect. And comments about the persons body are really in bad taste.
I’m obsessed with racerbacks and this one is super sexy. If anyone can tell me where to find a similar one with this drapey barely-there quality, please let me know.
Love the unexpected pairing with the pencil skirt too, I’m going to try this one myself.
I love her outfit. Just fabulous! Yes she is thin, but not too thin. She is what she is. I’m not so sure what people are thinking when they make comments about peoples weight. I am naturally, very thin, and I eat healthy food all day long! That’s how I am. So back to the outfit. Love the colors and especially the boots! Very sexy look.

Perfection in imperfection
September 30, 2011 at 12:30 am
This lass shows that being imperfect can be chic.
The belt’s askew, the skirt’s riding up. Her hair color is running. Her legs, while toned, are a bit strange upon closer inspection – there’s a little bump in the midde of the lower right leg.
Still, loads of us would still love to be her.
