I love it– it's Mary Kate Olsen as a square dancer. Perfect juxtaposition of the huge sunglasses and iphone with a dress her grandmother might have worn 50 years ago.
Did you two have fun in Georgia? Can't wait to see what you may have spied in Savannah!
Seems a bit forced to be honest. I don't see any sane reason to wear that dress unless you're going to a hoedown, which she obviously isn't.
What we have here is good old fashioned irony, currently the trend among hipster folk – she's not a trend setter, just another hapless fashion victim of the decade
Fun to see, and different from the usual NYC street style. I wonder if she's garbed like that for a competition/exhibition, or just as a style statement.
The square dancing units in gym class would have been much more fun if we'd been able to wear these twirly skirts instead of our pleat-front jeans and white Keds! (Teenager of the 90s, here.)
sorry, to me this just looks terrible – the dress is wearing her, big time… and it is just not flattering to her in any sense – from skintone to her legs… I have to give her props for being so bold, no doubt about that and I love the hair and the shades too.
Dude, I WENT to L5P to see if I could find you! You had already left, I guess! This is right by Aurora Coffee.. .I recognize the trash can and post anywhere! Yes, it's a bit of a hipster/ironic fashion statement… I prefer some of the other stuff I see around L5P. Can't wait to see your other posts from ATL…
This is Atlanta. People dress like this all of the time here… especially in VaHi and Little 5 (which is where this was taken). Nothing forced about it.
Thanks for visiting, SS. You're welcome back anytime.
Same vibe as the cosplay kids in Tokyo's Harajuku district. Not particulary country, definitely not Southern – but it is a hoot to read some of the impressions your readers have of life in the Deep South. Travel is the best educator, but you have to get off of the main road occasionally.
I grew up cloggin' and wearing outfits just like this. Not sure if she is really a clogger or square dancer, but growing up in a small town in South Carolina – this does not look at all forced. It looks like a weekend at the fair or local hoedown. This past weekend they held the Aynor hoedown in SC and I am sure you would have found many of these girls. The only difference would have been the shoes!
Thanks for reminding me of growing up in the South!
Beautiful composition in this photo. Even the colours of some of the graffitti match/tone well with the colours of the dress. Like the juxtaposition of the vibrant, happy, fairytale outfit with the cool, no-nonsense pose + sunglasses and phone in the street setting. The boots are a good colour that complements her hair colour very nicely.
The juxtaposition is funny. My mac loaded the pic a little slow and all I could see at first was her head and the cell phone. Then I saw the rest of her outfit and it threw me for a loop.
The colors are wonderful, the lighting out of this World. Looks like she's into vintage, no doubt. Her belt is a great touch. Beautiful photograph Scott, morning light is the best.
Atlantans are so artistic and eclectic. I love this part of the South.
Love the flounce of her dress and her idea to pair a dress that's been boxed into a certain era with modern accessories in a mismatching style! Genius!
Don't you ALL realise that this is a dance COSTUME???!!!!! of course its COUNTRY -read the title -its for a square-dance! So if she were wearing a cowboy uniform from a Bar-B-Que restaurant everyone would think she is fashion-forward and bravely stylish? WOW. Great depth of field and lighting Sart.
Wow, that anyone call pull that dress off is incredible. It's amazing how personality can come through so strongly in a dress .. I suppose a picture is worth a thousand words.
I smiled at this! (I also thought – Lindsey Lohan???) I love how her attitude is not at all what you'd imagine when you think of square dancing. The accessories – hair, sunglasses, cellphone, clutch, the shoes – even the setting are a complete contrast to the dress! I just love it all! You are brilliant at capturing moments that are so significant and speak volumes about our current culture!
To me it looks just too much. Would never ever wear that, unless as a costume. The colors are great, the proportion, the whole combination. But still looks like a costume.
looks like "alice in wonderland meets (insert country singer)". this look, to me, is almost not believable. although it is a breath of fresh air, it almost looks like a costume and tomorrow we'll see her dressed in casual wear.
fabulous! this is why i check this site everyday, religiously, there is so much that is wonderful about this photo, from her attitude to the graffiti, and everything in between!!!
LiLo!!! If only she stayed home and went to church like a good girl. And…took square dancing lessons instead of stripping. *sigh* Like the watch/sunglasses combo.
i agree, very unique! she looks so sweet and innocent. I love the pattern on it and I love the boots too. The dress reminds me of dorothy from the wizard of oz mixed in with a maypole dancer on may day!!!
She's not being ironic. She's lovely and probably likes where she lives and was bought up, as she should. She may be re-interpreting a traditional costume somewhat, but that doesn't mean she's being disdainful. She's local, without being provincial. There are so few southerners featured on here. I love it.
ah, i love this. the composition of the photo is brilliant, and the ensemble is very unique. i do hope that you will post more savannah/atlanta pictures…
Wow! I love this. It's kind of cartoonish and satirical, with elements at odds with one another (New Yorker in a square dancing dress?); but for me, it works! I find her 'gitup' quite appealing.
I don't really like it. Its not that flattering. The boots make her legs look funny. The dress itself is nice, and so are the glasses but the boots kill it.
this shot is fantastic…It's great how she looks so country but the background in the photo is so urban. I love when fashion conflicts with its surroundings, outfits stand out more. The girl in this shot is the 'case in point.'
listen, just because you slaves to fashion can't imagine yourselves wearing anything that isn't tailored and black doesn't mean that this lady's dress isn't stylish in its own way. this girl is wearing what she likes, and wearing it well (in my opinion). everyone's definition of style is different, just because it's not something you can imagine yourself in doesn't mean it's "forced" or "too much". heaven forbid a person has such a vibrant personality that they can't hide it behind "trendy" and expected clothing.
I'm sorry, but although the majority of these comments are in favor of this…um…"outfit", I just have to say that I think it's god awful ugly. But, if she feels beautiful in it, then good for her. Fashion should make you feel good. :)
this photo made my day — and right after I commented (above) that we lack style wit in the usa! clearly that was dead wrong! i <3 you, squaredance girl
Wow! It's amazing, seems exit by a cartoon! I will gladly wear a dress like that, just to go out for shopping. I think that the world must live on this way: with no rules of dress, without prejudice, but unfortunately there are still people who say you're crazy. But we must go beyond the trial, and appear to be what you want and it is!
great shot. Coincidentally snapped in front of one of the top spots in ATL to grab coffee & a bagel?…Mr. NY, I think not. Good find on the the young square dancer & Aurora Coffee. Salud.
what sells the whole outfit is the attitude. just look at the gorgeous facial expression…says “i know i look good and if you don’t so what!!!” amazing situation. great shot.

Well, for the Mean girls out there.
This is no costume. She is my Square Dance partner and G/F!!!
We have another class tonite at the elderly center. Quite fun.
Let loose and hang with some Old folks. They are a fun bunch…. Hell… Square dancing is all they have left in life.
You are Simply beautiful! Proud of you too!

She's not being ironic. She's lovely and probably likes where she lives and was bought up, as she should. She may be re-interpreting a traditional costume somewhat, but that doesn't mean she's being disdainful. She's local, without being provincial. There are so few southerners featured on here. I love it.

Wow! I love this. It's kind of cartoonish and satirical, with elements at odds with one another (New Yorker in a square dancing dress?); but for me, it works! I find her 'gitup' quite appealing.

I don't really like it. Its not that flattering. The boots make her legs look funny. The dress itself is nice, and so are the glasses but the boots kill it.

this shot is fantastic…It's great how she looks so country but the background in the photo is so urban. I love when fashion conflicts with its surroundings, outfits stand out more. The girl in this shot is the 'case in point.'

listen, just because you slaves to fashion can't imagine yourselves wearing anything that isn't tailored and black doesn't mean that this lady's dress isn't stylish in its own way. this girl is wearing what she likes, and wearing it well (in my opinion). everyone's definition of style is different, just because it's not something you can imagine yourself in doesn't mean it's "forced" or "too much". heaven forbid a person has such a vibrant personality that they can't hide it behind "trendy" and expected clothing.

Wow! It's amazing, seems exit by a cartoon! I will gladly wear a dress like that, just to go out for shopping. I think that the world must live on this way: with no rules of dress, without prejudice, but unfortunately there are still people who say you're crazy. But we must go beyond the trial, and appear to be what you want and it is!
