Comments on "As We Begin To Transition Into Spring, Paris"
I love this entire outfit, especially that jacket and those fabulous shoes...and also love the way the gentleman in the background is checking her out! It's marvelous.
How perfect.
Hey-what's that guy in the background doing? Checking her out? It just struck me as funny in this early morning, his swank position in the background :)
Two for the price of one. A fantastically dressed gal inspiring a better fashion sense in us all, and a caught-in-the-action photo of a dude checking her out.
At last: simple pieces, great fit and form, wonderful play of textures and gentle colors. Preemptively--do we have to gripe about the jacket being some kind of skin? It's exquisite--and really what's the difference between wearing this fur jacket and wearing leather, eating meat, and using a multiplicity of products that are animal-derived?
I love his facial expression. LOVE IT. And her shoes.
LOVING the complete look, a modern day Annie Hall in Paris, clean & crisp color combination...overall she did one hell of a job putting this outfit together & how could you not love her effortlessly chic attitude? WELL DONE!
oh, yesss
that's Milan at its sexiest.
no need to flash more than an ankle---
morning glory, sart!

Incredible how much impact the right pieces can make, the shoes are perfectly balanced against those pants, and i love that shade of gray! The jacket comes off so polished against her hair! This is stunning lady!
i love the "what the f*?" look on the man's face in the background.
aamzing shoes.
Love the guy in the background. Priceless shot!
This is one of those great photos that makes me wonder "what is the story? What is she reading and what concerns the guy in the background..."
I love that the woman in this shot is not rushing the season. I like to enjoy the transitions and not leap past spring into summer.
Oh! The clothes... Love the shoes. Hope the fur is faux because the color and proportion are perfect. Normally not a big fan of so many pleats, but the fabric drapes so well, carrying off the crop. The bangles and the hard ware of the bad play off each other... subtle color scheme not screaming for attention. Love this.

Great shot (and great outfit), but I honestly think my favorite part of this shot is the guy in the right-hand corner. The look on his face is priceless- sort of admiration/lust/confusion, all at the same time: "Why do women dress in things that I can't see their a$$ through, and still look smokin hot?! Not fair."
gorgeous shot! The peekaboo shoes and the well dressed gentleman stealing a glance in the background make this perfect! Incredible lines in your photograph, their glances, and in the pleats of her pants and crossed legs.
oooo. she's like a little spring bunny. nice furry coat.
The composition of the photo is pretty classical. Especially the site line from the gentleman's eyes to the heroine's derriere. Makes you wish you could see what he sees.
i hate to see you go but i love to watch you leave.
The guy in the back likes that look as well.
haha look at the guy checking her out in the background haha priceless
She looks great! Her shoes are amazing!
Those shoes are delicious, Sart! Also, I've never been much a fan of pleats, but they WORK here. What a delightful way to welcome little darling spring. I think the man in the background would agree. :)
that dude looks dumbstruck
delightful shoes!
Maybe I'm the only one, but no. Everything would be perfect if it weren't for those heels. They make the entire outfit scream "contrived."
I have a hard time appreciating big pleats in pants. If that women had big thighs, I don't think they would work. BUT she doesn't and they look fabulous on her. A great example of how-to-wear. And I love the hair. And the shoes are a brilliant -- really help make the outfit. She knows what works for her, that's for certain. And with that sweater, it makes you so comfortable and cozy to look at her.It gives it a very soft look, yet very classy.
She looks fantastic I love the whole outfit. Simple but clearly from the guy checking her out so effective!
Those shoes are amazing, I have total envy
You're missing the story here. The fellow's expression clearly reveals his thoughts:
"Baggy pleats? So unflattering. Cropped mid-ankle? Makes her legs look shorter. What was she thinking?!"
HA HA is the guy checking her out?
I'm starting to be so annoyed with those fur-bashing cat ladies, along with those who can't bear the sight of a cigarette (and I'm not a smoker). At least, there's one category of comments Sart won't publish anymore: The skinny hating ones.
I want her shoes! :)
By the way Sart, I think you mixed up your photos. This is Milan, not Paris.
I adore this photo's composition. The framing, the light, everything. Not only did you capture a great ensemble, but the look on her face is just great. Looks like a still from a movie.
Kudos.
stunning. i love the action in this shot.
she is gorgeous. i love her hair.
i love her shoes.
i have a hunch that pleats will be "in" in the US nxt year. they seem to be all over paris.
ick.
Is this Elizabeth Saltzman? Not sure. I've never seen her cover her gams, but the pic is priceless. So good you got that guy in frame. I can't decide what his expression is saying though.
Gorgeous! The SHOES!!!
Among other things, the guy is wishing he should've tied a better knot and worn the good shirt this morning. C'est la vie.
i love the combination of pieces and the soft sihlouette. i don't know if i would like the pieces individually all that much, but together they're great.
I too find this fellow behind the woman very funny. He actually is checking the pussy and you caught HIM AT THE CRIME SPOT!
I've been following your site for quite some time and I must say, this is on of my absolute favorites.
And I've recently been trying to figure out how I would wear that style of shoes. Thanks.
I also love the look on that guys face. Not usually a fan of that style of shoe, but she works that whole outfit! Very inspiring
The shoes ... Oh those shoes are beautiful.
Aparently the guy in the background thinks so also.
I LOVE THE SOFTNESS OF THE OUTFIT...ITS SO GENTLE AND SUBTLE.
This is the degree of thinness you need to have to look good in pleats.
haha, i just love the guy in the background...
So Chic like always!!
Please make cropped pants go away.
Sick shoes and pretty coat. But the chic attitude she gives off is apparent on the dude's face and I find it hilarious.
-AM
Trousers, trousers, the volumed, shortened trousers with pleats (again)! Divine. I'm a bit fed up with skinny pants, although wearing them myself most of the time. But waaaaay too often. These are so fresh, fun, comfortable and giving the woman's ankles the beautiful slenderness, grace and exciting exposure.
I like her hair and the jacket, and the way the guy is checking her out. And how the shoes and pants work together.
Ok I guess I just like everything.
That IS classic! He saw what you did, Sart!
This is a wonderful outfit.

There is drama in this photo, and it's due to the guy in the background giving her a quick look (which the camera caught). It's all about the drama. It highlights what she is wearing and where she seems to be going.

"I'm starting to be so annoyed with those fur-bashing cat ladies..." LOL! Guilty as charged :-)
Okay, so not to annoy anyone I will refrain from any more "fur-bashing" comments and I do think this jacket is lovely. I agree we should keep the focus on the photography and the fashion.
~ Miss Mary
the guy in the background is so into her...love the shot
This photo is hilarious. It's the first picture I've seen on your site that's made me automatically grin!
It's so cinematic. I picture the heated exchange that just took place...
like the guy's shoes
I've never been a fan of this style of shoe. They look ugly ugly ugly! But I love that there are people out there that love them! Taste is so funny.
This is the second photo with pleats. So is this the next thing? I can't wait to see Stacey and Clinton from What Not to Wear hail the virtues of pleats after dissing them for so long. I personally think they are atrocious.
I love the shoes and the guy's expression. The look is chic yet very casually throw together.
hahahah this photo is so funny. i love the guy behind her. this has inspired me to go out and buy her shoes.
She is totally working those shoes!!!! I also love her pants.
Yes, this has been said about 62 times, but.....that guy is like, "dayyum!" I LOVE IT.
That was an interesting read!
Does anyone know who her pants are by? Thanks!
I agree with the anonymous that dislikes these shoes. I do think that they look good with this outfit, and I love cropped pants.
As a conscious fur cat lady, I have to say, that while fur is in fact beautiful, it is unnecessary, especially in this day and age.
If you must wear fur, go vintage ;)
Magnifique !! pantalon, chaussures...grande tendance de cet été !!!
Everything is spot on with this photo except the scourge of pleats. PLEATS! They make the shapliest shapeless. They are the high fashion equivalent of ironic trucker hats.
my first reaction "ooooohhhh those shoes"!
love'em
I love the photo - the lighting, the movement, the narrative. But her outfit does nothing for me. I guess I just don't get it this time round.
Didn't you post an almost identical ahot (guy and all) from the last time you were in Milan? Love the styling :)
This is Italy at its truest. Very nice shot.
awesome shoes! Those edgy shoes paired with very sober clothes make a perfect contrast, wich in turn only few people know how to do without looking like copycats, or like Victoria Beckham (read totally planed). Excellent sense of style, very italian. Love her hair.
she seems so natural,the hair,the colors of the outfit,very simple,but the result is so sofisticated....
Thanks for this wonderful pic.
I love her style proportion! Though I wish she would carry a bright bag or some colour acessory. It's a bit too grey on grey for me...
I love her coat texture.
Love her, love the shoes and the trousers. Looks so chic
LOVE the shoes!! And the guy's expression. To be a fly on the wall when he/his wife/his girl finds himself caught in action.
Who're the shoes by..?
done with Yale already?
how perfect!
Sheer perfection. Coat, shoes, loose trousers and hair. Wish I was her at the moment!
Sart, some how you seemed to match shirt colour and the other colours in the shot... the man shirt and the car the lady is standing in from of... its not as perfect as the last shot but the car is blue with grey shadows and the man has a grey jacket with a blue shirt! i love that you are a blessed man
Of course, the man is eyeballing the woman. He is wondering why she is being photographed!
Great pants. Great shoes. Not a fan of fur, however.
She looks great and he obviously thinks so too!
love the pants..the shoes...and the guy starring...perfect!
like the comment about the mastercard add.
isn't this that spot in milan with the blue awnings where quite a few of your shots are from?
Ah, the shape and length of the pants is amazing, the added pleating creates really nice volume. The silhouette is really nice looking and is an excellent transitory outfit towards fall I'd agree!
the jacket is great... i would call it furry curried look.the guy in the back with a skeptic glance at her is really the spot on the i!
I love her choices. Sometimes, though,I think the commenters - especially the ones who share their creative-writing essays, are completely style-blind and are trying to hide it by overcompensating in their descriptions. To you, please, let the picture speak for itself.
LOVE*
oh those peeptoe oxfords...
It situation doesn't look pleasant to me.
I love that she's taking risks, those pants are difficult without the heels ..not good, and she knows it! that's why she puts on the furs, perfect balance takes the outfit into a contemporary and sophisticated level instead of in a fatal trip back to the 80'.
Well done, Mr Background know is it too!
This is a fashion editor for UK Tatler magazine, not Elizabeth Saltzman.
Are those by vivienne tam?
simply PERFECT
the shape, the colors, the whole style...
love it
I think this is what we would see more (well, in the perfect world at least) if would think of spring as a mix between winter and summer instead of it being all own season.

The outfit and her hair rock, but it's definitely her confidence that pulls it all off.
wow! your rack focusing from the girl to the guy is fantastic! i've always wondered what kind of camera do you use since your pictures keep getting better and better with each blog =)
a big fan,
*j
What brand are those shoes? I gott have them!
gorgeous shot!!!! love it!
It is tres fantastique. Everything about her and photo--and the male in the background is the icing on the cake. Bravo.
The irony of the fact is that is that it's SNOWING here tonight in Paris
This is the reason why I am moving to Paris. Morning walks to work in effortless fashion with day on my mind.
love love love the outfit...anyone know where the pants and shoes are from? and the jacket! fabulous. i think it is gucci westman, creative director of lancome....
fab photo sart!
Isn't this Giselle? That explains why she looks good. She would make a dishrag look like an evening gown. I've seen better this your column anyway - but this picture caught a great moment.
PERFECTION!!!! Chic and sexy without showing any skin. This is how the modern woman should look!!!
Who ever said that the bag needs to be more colorful, needs to look at how cool the bag she's carrying is.
Absolutely wonderful. Love it all, so delicate for Spring... and especially those shoes!
this is a photo from milano!
Those shoes are by Matthew Williamson.
Thank you for posting such lovely pictures. They are very inspiring!
That certainly aint Giselle, but who ever she is, she definitely hit the mark with this outfit. Those are the best shoes I've seen on this blog in forever, gorgeous!
Love the colours, the textures and the brilliance of how she combined some difficult-to-wear pieces in this look. Stylish yet casual. This ensemble creates a impression that it was "just thrown on" but it was undoubtedly more carefully thought out. Adore this look!!
Also love how you captured the movement and made us all curious about the story behind this shot Sart. Could make up 1001 captions to go under this picture.
I want those pants, anyone know where to source these????
shoes are indeed great- but the pants would only look decent on a uber thin woman; yes, she does work it but those trousers are not for everyone! I just found this diamond-in-the ruff boutique in soho new york called (hem)- they carry around 30 different styles/cuts/colors of every unique type of pant you can imagine- that fits anyone- not just penicil model types. I ended up buying 5 pairs thinking I would never try on even a pair b/c I feel my body type is not fit for pants (i am a a-line dress person) BOY WAS I WRONG! check out their site hemboutique.com - even though the site does not have all the pants i saw in the store...
mathew williamson?
They look the same as Loboutin's but with a thicker band width bridging the two sides of her feet...and probably the colors.
Right...Never mind that, they aren't Loboutins, ahhhhh! Gripe Moan.
Mathew Williamson shoes from S/S08
I'll bet the guy was thinking, "Is she famous? Why is that guy taking her photo?" And of course, "Hey, she's kind of hot..."
Wow...fabulous! Je l'adore :)
All I was thinking when I looked at this photo was...I wish I could afford an outfit like that. I don't often think that in life - am quite happy to have a modest one - but this outfit is in the fabrics. Sigh. Will have to find a sugar daddy after all. :)
This is EXACTLY why Sart is so influential... Initially, I could not see myself wearing this new style of baggy pleated front pants with narrow legs. In a previous comment, I thought they looked too 80's, Vanilla Ice, or MC Hammer. However, seeing it so PERFECTLY executed in this combination with the coat, shoes, bag, etc., I really WANT to wear this entire outfit!!!
Besides that, the picture is great with the guy checking her out in the background.
I suspect I am not alone in being influenced to track down a look inspired by this picture. Thanks for your wonderful blog!
Are you aware that your work is entering its Jeff Wall-influenced stage? Congrats to that!
Love the shoes
what a gorgeous look- interesting bodyshape- the shoes are twisting the whole outfit !
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE those pants.
perfect hair! love the shoes!
I have these exact pants!
Well, at least I think I do? Mine are from H&M and have a paper bag style around the waist, with a belt attached. Most would probably deem these unflattering, but I absolutely adore them! They have a quirky, avant-garde quality, and look amazing with super high strapped stilettos.
Wow, che bella milanese ;)
Great shot too.
*effortless-beautiful-sexy* It only makes me want to know more about her closet & what remarkable things are inside it and how she'll wear it....thats what I call inspiration.
really love her shoes!
