post a commentWe now know where your mind is at.
I like my skinny jeans long but that's a length overkill- unfortunately reminds of centaurs...
Wow. I am not even sure what to say about that? Such an arresting look but I almost wish I could see it in its entirety? Perhaps that would ruin the effect though.
It just works.
Were her shoes flat?
I agree about the total outfit maybe killing the effect, however that look in generak is a bit much. The only way it works is if you are trying to pull off the whole rocker chick/chic effect, but even then it is a bit much. If you're wearing long skinny jeans, they should be long enough to cover your entire ankle, and that's it.
japanese people dont wrap their feet.
didn't that use to be a tradition in Japan? I don't think it was China.
Can anyone back me up on this?
I just Googled japanese foot binding and i guess it was big in China also - I stand corrected
the chinese women used to bind their feets with shreds of broken glass inside the bindings. it was meant to keep the feet tiny as that was the standard of beauty.
yes, it was definitely china and never japan. the "lotus" foot/shoe was the ideal, about three inches long.
Keep in mind that Chinese women did not bind their own feet. Young girls were subject to having their feet bound by others. This involved breaking the toes repeatedly and not only kept girls in pain, but limited their mobility and independence.
I mention this because people seem not to know what foot binding involved. The name sounds innocuous (sounds like a bandage), but it was actually a very awful practice, and probably not at all like what you imagine.
totally not a japanese thing...
the chinese did the foot binding. but the japanese have very thick short white socks with a split toe that are worn with their traditional sandals, when wearing kimonos. it gives also a bit the look you might be thinking of. a very swaddled foot. i hope i am not too full of misinformation.
but i think the tradition of rope binding/bondage is japanese. at least the more beautiful examples of it.
ya and foot binding broke the bones over and over again. they couldn't walk. my grandmother had some antique slippers. they were so tiny.
does glamour magazine still have the do's and don'ts? because this girl will have a black tape over her eyes. i would bring back the foot binding just for this girl but with a ball chain so she does not leave her house. this is one of the biggest fashion faux pas along with the dress over jeans.
This just strikes me as extremely....unsanitary. To have her clothes all of New York sidewalks like that is just so gross!
And don't knock dresses over jeans! That's a great look!
very centaur like...
I agree with a lot of your choices, but that look is just fugley. First thing in the morning now I've got a stomach ache from this pic.
Yay, i have no idea about that but i really like the shoes!
Could you ask the people you photograph where they buy their clothes and accessories? I don't exactly live near NY, but you never know she bought those gorgeous shoes in a big chain ...
The blue and orange tones complement each other very nicely. Perhaps that is because they are complementary colors.
I hope you have a good day!
loooove the shoes!i dont know if that kind of pants will suit me tho
I'd want to see the rest of the outfit, although to pull something off like the extra-long jeans-over-open-toe-shoes look and actually have it work probably means the rest of this woman looks good, too.
And I love that brilliant orange.
I really love this look! I bet it made her legs look super long!
I love these cheeky shoes - so versatile; could be used to freshen up a dress or night-time style with tailored shorts!
