She's excellent. One of the best dressed, and best photos, I've seen on your blog! The townhouse architecture helps :)
I also love her oxfords. I used to wear blue black oxfords like those and was probably the middle school weirdo; wonderful how enduring fashions return to trump trend.
Like the whole look. But the shoes?…Are boots a better alternative or has that already been done? I love that the shoes are nicely worn and that they aren't black. So in the end, I love the whole look.
see, this is REALLY inspiring to me because i have all the items in my wardrobe, at least sort of. so happy to have bought myself a pair of brogues!!great usable picture!!!
Very nice dress. I like the kind she look. A little bit funny but also very serious. Her face is beautiful and she look like she would thinking about somethin. You are so talentfull in photographing you just catch those beautiful moments.
I've been wearing a pair of Jil Sander wingtips from years ago and everyone is stopping me lately. Have had them 10 years! Also old Robert Clergerie oxfords. Nothing better with tights. You can WALK and look great, too.
Altought its the first time I leave a comment, I follow your blog many time ago. I love this blog, for me its the best. I know you´ll be in madrid next week and I excited but i dont know if i can attend because my job, but i try it. I fell so honored if you visit my blog http://sloannstreet.blogspot.com/2009/11/sartorialist-en-madrid.html
I love this – she's splendid. The red lips, the orange belt and the aubergine Oxfords against a backdrop of neutrals result in a very smart, inspired (inspiring) and fun look.
This is so great, I love everything about it. I like the volume of the cape and skirt, and the pockets make it just that much cooler. I like the stripes to break up all of the solid color, and the pop of color with the red belt is just perfect. I even like that flat shoes!
This is one of my favorite picture! I love everything: the high skirt, the stripes, the shoes and the belt! The belt definitely makes this outfit. The brown color pops out and lightens the whole thing. And the shoes.. I have the same in black. Love them!
There is something classic about the railing along the steps of a NYC brownstone. She looks relaxed and those shoes are simple but i have always loved a deep burgundy leather.
this is great. for so many reasons. #1: belt color #2: pockets in the skirt! #3: i think she is an expert scarf-draper. i can never get that look. #4: yay for laced flats.
but most of all… the stripey shirt. it's a great contrast to all of the solid colors, without neutralizing the pop of the colored belt.
I really like this shot. From her oxford shoes, the crossing of her legs, the belt, and striped shirt. A french look on Brooklyn brownstone steps—fantastic.
Surprising oxblood and tan coordinate with the brownstone. The striped blouse lends an air of vulnerability absent from black ensembles worn by blonde women. Well done to both of you.
the brown shoes! tell me she is a very intelligent person. i love the subtle look that made me guess… is she a lawer? …just take my hat off to her dressing sense.
