The Sartorialist

so lovely! the girl on the left is a gem. (wish we could see her shoe…) her bag is perfect – i love its size and color.

as for the girl on the right…charming too. the top arch of the shoe is the only troublesome feature…too bulky. other than that – where can i get that coat??

The future meets the past?

so much of style

les femmes du art, I don’t know French, but that is the first thing that pops up into my mind.
Not my favourite look, but love that it is out there, so great to have variety.

What do you call those things the girl on the right is wearing over her shoes? They’re amazing!

Loving their styles! Especially the “boots”.

so much ‘tude,i love it.

Loooove their style, actually I love vintage. Great color!! Thanks Sart.

the girl on the right is the embodiment of so much of my ideal, both physical and fashion wise. perfect.

Both are great but the one on the left is indescribably wonderful! Such a sense of classic style. I really need to move to Paris…

Both of them are perfection.

I love this photo! Great shapes and colours – the girl on the left looks wonderful, her hair is just beautiful. the girl on the right has more edge but both of them are really cool. Perfect post for a sunday morning…

so great… almost effortless

I absolutely love it. Everything about it.

“Allez, venez, Milord! Vous asseoir à ma table. Il fait si froid, dehors…. ba-dada-da-da-da…. The left is rembering me on Edith Piaf. GREAT!!!

The looks are interesting, but in terms of real-life, I can’t say I’m inspired. I love how the woman on the left carries herself, and I would give an arm and a leg for that burnt orange bag.

The style is … crazy!!!!!!

Au Jardin des Tuileries, le vintaigne se melange a la mode la plus fashion! Paris, Paris, paris!

the girl on the left is lovely, my eyes turned to her first (but lose that orange watch, sister!)

I love what the girl on the right is wearing, but her coat and shoes appear too big for her.

I guess not many people agree with me, but I think this is a little ridiculous. The woman on the right looks great. She’s playing with her look, and I love her shoes. But the woman on the left is absurd. That’s not great style. That’s a costume. If she had done something modern with her hair while wearing that hat it would have been so much better. Or maybe an edgier jacket. I don’t know, but it’s not working for me.

Forever Vintage!!! keep those old fur coats alive.

I’ve seen many women with the look on the left (though this particular woman does it really well), but the woman on the right is unique and looks so bad ass. The spats, coat, hat, glasses, and bag are all hot! I just love her.

I love this picture so much! The oranges and grays are fantastic, and I love their hem lengths. So cool. Stephanie

nice

I think these ladies’ sense of taste exemplifies the “look” of this decade.

Spot on.

i often wonder what the closet of people dressed like this looks like. i mean i could throw maybe one outfit together that looks like this, but to do it everyday must be difficult. i can only imagine that such an eccentric style has to cost $$$. like the girl on the right. how often could she wear those shoes without looking too repeated? and the dress on the left, the same thing. i guess thats why i stick with basic pieces of neutral colors-so i can repeat often. and i can only dream of veering from my norm someday.

ooh spats! delish :)

The left girl stands out because she wears it so well !
The coat and her hair are exactly the same …wow !
I don’t like the other girl that much but maybe it’s just because her odd way of standing and her hat looks a bit funny…but then again, it’s just one second and in real life, who knows, she looks fab !

For the fun of identification — the girl on the right is wearing platform oxfords from Chloe fall 2006 with spats over them.

They look good,yes,the bags, dress, coat, attitude… But my first impression was: Disguised and neurotic. May be its all the red in the pic that makes me saying that… :)

I realize that I am in the minority when I say this but they look very costumey, like they stole the outfits from some old movie set and plus they look twice their age. the one on the right looks borderline extra-terrestrial. If the one on the left had tried some different shades and let her dress be the focal point instead of looking like a crayola box then it might’ve worked but its just too much..imho

Are those half-chaps?!? Too bad it looks like her feet are killing her.

If the girl on the left were wearing stockings she would be perfect. Except for that one small detail, she could be a time traveler

wow!amazing style.
like a flashback from old times.

Thaetrical fun! That the coat at right seems a tad large on her bothers me not. Such is thrifting.

I wore my mother’s vintage Mouton coat for years (e.g. the girl on the left, Mouton is clipped and dyed sheepskin I believe)and trust me those mofo’s weigh a TON! So fun to wear though. Nothing else conjures up the 40′s quite like Mouton.

oooohhhh where can i get the yellow bag? so cute

everytime i look at this picture i keep thinking of halloween.

the bag reminds me of a pumpkin + all the orange hues and the girl on the right dresses nice but i can’t help but picture a witch and i am just waiting for her to take off in flight on her broom.

The girl on the left has a Furla bag..its name is “Frida”. Gorgeous!!

I saw these girls too! they were dressed up for the Christian Dior show during fashion week.
They were very beautiful and impressive, but a little costumey, yes

Gorgeous!

Love the hats!
So Parisienne

What fun! And what precisely is wrong with costumey? Sometimes it’s good to have a bird of paradise around. That said, I might have opted for green tights to pick up the green of the flamework dress (I’d kill for five yards of that fabric!)

I love it. It’s a little heavy on the retro for me and reminds me a bit too much of Ab Fab ladies, but kudos for daring to stand next to each other and reveling in the camp.

Ah, that chestnut fur jacket and handbag are insane! Doesn’t get any better for me.

Love the footwear on the right. Is that a boot or pumps with some sort of spats thing on top? Either way, it’s marvelous!

I do love the skirt that the woman on the left is wearing.Too much of a 50′s,nice look though.

incredible! i want everything.

gracias!

My goodness. I am so obsessed with spats right now. WHERE CAN I GET ONES LIKE THESE?!?!

I am one who dresses like the girl on the left, so I have heard it all: costumey, dated, trying too hard, twice my age, etc. It goes in one ear and out the other. The look isn’t about money, since I’ve owned these pieces for years. It’s not about thrift, because many similar pieces are in stores today. It’s about creativity, mixing what I have in endless combinations, and expressing myself in that moment. Tomorrow I may dress classic in camelhair trousers and loafers. As for the crayola comment, it’s refreshing to see someone wearing colors that flatter her skintone and not relying on black as a safety net like so many do. Defining what is elegance and looking out of place is all subjective.
