Got such a kick out of this post! Talk about a transformation! Love it. And that coat is perfect either way.

If you look closely same pants and dot shirt as well. She looks gorgeous without the makeup and natural hair.

Bravo for having a great perception Anita!
I was just about to write the same but I saw you already did!
so I’ll just say- agree!
She looks so modelish and grunge perfect now!

Just Like Princess Mombi in the Land of Oz. She wore the same flowing white dress at all times as she had no interest in clothing and needed something simple to match her collection of different beautiful heads. Beautiful heads that she collected from people. But Mombi was nice enough to give the victims one of her old cast off heads in exchange….I suppose most kids never read the Oz books now they have Harry Potter. A shame.

Very good eyes. But the pants don’t look the same to me. They are lighter on the right hand side picture…unless they got that way from laundering, of course. Regardless, amazing that you noted the shirt.
Giulia
May 6, 2013 at 4:06 pm
That’s exactly what I was going to say! I’m not super sure about the pants…but basically they’re the same model, even if they’re slightly different colors.

Great! I get your ‘joky’ idea… I can’t be caught wearing the same coat, shirt and jeans… within a year even if I change my hair?? :-) xoxo

and i love that she’s wearing the same polka dot shirt underneath! her jeans even look the same… a different sweater and hair/make-up makes such a difference here. both looks are great!

I like her new look
Lauren at adorn la femme
March 11, 2013 at 3:38 am
I am obsessed with the more polished look as a contrast to the simple neutral coat. I think she needs more of a contrast as in the first photo! But ultimately both look very very good and if I had that chiseled face, I wouldn’t give a damn one way or the other!!!!!

March 11, 2013 at 3:38 am
It’s the same blouse and the same pants as well! (Which really just makes it all the more amazing that she totally changed the tone of the entire outfit with just a sweater, accessories, makeup and hair)
Ottoman Dandy
March 11, 2013 at 3:41 am
Dramatic change actually, still she’d shine on more in a different outfit , maybe more classic …

Looks also like same shirt and same trousers.
Hopefully the one on the right is her most recent look.

Same shirt and trousers too, apparently.
I like the one on the right the most, hopefully it’s the most recent.

Very cool! Isn’t the shirt underneath her sweater the same/similar to the one in the first photograph?

March 11, 2013 at 4:58 am
Her look remains casual but the most striking difference is her hair (colour and style). It makes all the difference imo..

Amazing shot… Same Girl, same Coat, looks like same pants and same polkadot shirt. The blonde hair looks better…

It’s the same polka dot shirt too, right? The change in hair/makeup makes a big difference in the impression given off as well~.

Also looks like same shirt and same trousers. Incredible how irrecognizable can be just changing hair and make up.

Same coat, same polka dot shirt (?), similar pants. If you didn’t say it’s the same girl, I wouldn’t have noticed! Aaaaaaaaa amazing!
Linda Boardman Kerr
March 11, 2013 at 7:02 am
She looks amazing in both of these. Love the asymmetrical bottom of the gray sweater with blouse peeking out.
Cameron
March 11, 2013 at 7:08 am
Is this planned? or did you recognize her or she came up with “remember me? I’m the girl year ago. ”
Just curious. :-)
The Sartorialist
March 11, 2013 at 7:18 am
I actually only recognized the coat in relationship to her general height, very abstract . After I took the shot I asked if she had been on my blog about a year earlier and she said yes.

I think she just found herself so beautiful in your picture that she has never changed, she is dressed like that even in summer… :)
Judith A. Ross
March 11, 2013 at 8:22 am
I’m guessing the photo on the left is the more recent. The coat is missing a button that it isn’t in the other photo. Either way, I love her style.
Velma Vance
March 11, 2013 at 3:42 pm
I drew the same conclusion ~

I would kill for a simple sweater with a great color combination like the one in the second photograph…so hard to find it. Brilliant pictures.

That’s a Carven sweater, FYI.

In my opinion the first look is better, not just for the cloth but the make-up and hair, so chic that platinum hair and red lipstick!!!
Beckster
March 11, 2013 at 9:33 am
I’m guessing that the blond is more recent…That she’s worn the coat so much that she’s lost a button. Please let us know. Great post!
Marie
March 11, 2013 at 9:36 am
Glad she found the missing button and sewed it back on!

MB@YarnUiPhoneApp
March 11, 2013 at 10:37 am
I prefer the hot red lips look for some reason and the interplay of the grey textures (coat, knit cable sweater, etc). For me, this layered look of one color, different textures has more depth, and I love the boldness of the red lips. And somehow I like her hair blonde…the darker hair and the no-make up look makes her look tired somehow. A pop of color on the face would be great and powerful.
Olivia
March 11, 2013 at 10:37 am
Also the same button up.
Isabelle Ofume
March 11, 2013 at 10:56 am
Wow, such an amazing transformation. Its great that you caught on to it.

The eye-make up is the same, as well as the jeans and shirt. I don’t believe this is a year apart photo.

Hmm can’t decide which look i prefer. The first one is more bold and with attitude- red lipstick and very blonde hair stand out. The second natural look n colourful jumper make her look younger…she looks good in both!
Sophie
March 11, 2013 at 2:54 pm
I love this! She must be a model. The outfits are so cute, but I the total chameleon effect is the most striking thing. Both looks appear like they are the perfect one for her, though I have to say I am partial to the sleek ultra-blonde. If you can pull that off, it’s hard to beat.
LIZPR
March 11, 2013 at 3:51 pm
Oh wow …. cool. Such a difference. My initial preference was for the look on the left – more “fashiony”, more “fab” – I do love hair and makeup. But with her bone structure (model?) she looks great on the right for the “natural beauty” look. Either way, she looks great and I love her style (again – preference for the outfit on the left).

March 11, 2013 at 3:56 pm
This is a perfect illustration of the difference between style and fashion. This young woman, it seems, has real style–she knows what works for her and what her look is. She can then work from that base to play with fashion-y elements and change things up while still staying true to herself. I’ll bet that she’ll still have that coat in 10 years–and she’ll still be wearing it beautifully.
Rowena
March 11, 2013 at 5:42 pm
She is amazing. Not beautiful, not pretty, not elegant JUST AMAZING. That figure & cheekbones. Of course her outfits & hair changes are amazing but on someone more ordinary, somehow would not look anywhere near as chic.
Nimue
March 11, 2013 at 5:52 pm
her name is alison nix. I like her as a model. She is blond now. The second picture is the one from last year.
Emily

Is this Alison Nix? She radiates a very nonchalant confidence.

Silly though that her coat is missing a button on the old pic but not on the new pic.
Because of that it looks like the dark-haired pic is old and the blonde one new.
