It seems to me she carefully chose her outfit for the day- one very glittery piece, some darker tones, black leggings, and then the bag balances the shines and the darks. But then something happened with the shoes! I think the lower waistline makes her legs look a bit shorter, and she would have had to counter this with high heels. Heck, what do I know? I like the look other than the shoes. Jorge from West Palm Beach

great little outfit.

i so want to get the shoes, but...

 

Blogger Sterling-haired Lady said ... (8:36 AM) : 

maybe she has shoes in her bag and will change them when she gets where she is going?

 

Blogger InStudio Blog said ... (8:37 AM) : 

Maybe those are her walking shoes and she's got her stylin' shoes in her bag, and you just didn't give her enough time to switch them out? I'm diggin the background.

 

Blogger porsha said ... (8:58 AM) : 

oh i love this. Although slightly jealous as I would just look silly in something like this in the daytime.
its like a toned down susie bubble style!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:16 AM) : 

omg i LOVE those shoes! where can i get a pair like that?

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:48 AM) : 

i think the shoes are great!
I love the way she mixes them with the glittering piece...very relaxed

 

Blogger Laguna Beach Fogey said ... (9:52 AM) : 

Nice photo, Sart. I particularly like the distinctive shoes. If I saw this young lady on the street, I would commend her on her effort. Good show.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:13 AM) : 

That is a nice bag. Anyone know where it's from?

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (10:15 AM) : 

I'd absolutely wear something like this. Love the textures and the color scheme is perfect.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:17 AM) : 

I really like this outfit...it's almost like an art project collage with coloured tissue paper and wool and tin foil (does that translate transatlantically??) and some black pen. I also think the colours are beautiful.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:41 AM) : 

No zebras were killed to make those shoes. :-)
A fun, casual look. She looks comfortable. Too bad she didn't check the weather report before leaving the house. It's a shame she has to carry that big coat.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:06 PM) : 

looks like a DIY skirt! impressive.

 

Blogger Seanrwatson2 said ... (12:13 PM) : 

There are a couple different outfits in this. The shoes, leggings, and gold create one. The blue is a pastel and doesn't match that, but could go with the coat. The sweater goes with the coat, but not the blue or the gold. The shoes go with the coat as do the leggings and gold combined add a white, tan, mustard, or burnt umber shirt. The bag works with that too.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:15 PM) : 

This picture is an exquisite example of why this is the world's most creative blog

 

Blogger Tiffani Michelle said ... (12:32 PM) : 

i like it! it does kind of look like an art project but totally wearable. i would love to see how it would look with different shoes...

 

Blogger Cassaundra said ... (12:39 PM) : 

Is it possible that I'm the only woman who doesn't like metallics this season?

I think so.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:43 PM) : 

To the first poster, a corrction in terms - those are NOT leggings. They're opaque tights and make a big difference paired with the outfit. Leggings would not work.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:59 PM) : 

I like the outfit except for the shoes, those are horrible!!

 

Blogger jessica said ... (1:17 PM) : 

fabulous!! my favorite in so long!
the funny thing is though, that i thought the detail shot was of a sleeve!!

 

Blogger ZEROSCAPE said ... (1:41 PM) : 

you are far better than facehunter.
just want to pitch that in there.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:58 PM) : 

Does anyone know where the bag comes from? Or the other pieces of the outfit for that matter?

thanks

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (2:00 PM) : 

the bag is botkier for whoever was wondering.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:20 PM) : 

While I would not wear this particular outfit in a millennium, I find it so inspiring. I love the attention to different textures and colors and how she repeats the metallics in the skirt and bag. She clearly sees dressing in the morning as a creative endeavor and personal expression, not just something she has to do to avoid prosecution for indecent exposure. I'll be thinking of her when I'm standing in front of my closet tomorrow morning.

 

Blogger rosemary x said ... (2:24 PM) : 

that detail shot is just gorgeous.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:24 PM) : 

i would be completely in love with this outfit if she wore it with heels or flats but those shoes ruin it for me.
i know it makes it more unique and balanced or whatever but it destroys the whole glamour and chicness for me
still, great catch

 

Blogger norawoah said ... (2:24 PM) : 

The metalic is so wonderfully unexpected. I love the shoes, but with a different outfit. The shoes bring it back to high school a little bit. I do, however, love zebra print.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:25 PM) : 

great look

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:32 PM) : 

it seems like she's accidentally fashionable. like she is someone who just puts on whatever and it just comes out looking great.

 

Blogger ren said ... (2:45 PM) : 

I really adore the bag.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:46 PM) : 

I think she looks great. I love all of the different textures. It's a fun mix. I'm just sorry that she had to lug that coat around. Maybe some sort of lightweight anorak would've been better?

And I LOVE her bag! It calls to me like a siren.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:50 PM) : 

I agree with the sweed, those shoes are ick.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:13 PM) : 

Love the gold... the shoes, not so much (sorry)...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:34 PM) : 

i love Kate's comment about how this looks like an art project collage.

Spot on!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:15 PM) : 

Whenever you put color next to black it looks horrible.
black with black or black with white. Period

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:16 PM) : 

I'd like to go on a date with this pretty lady

 

Blogger wilsonreps said ... (4:28 PM) : 

this is pretty fly because the shoes are out there too but it all seems fairly subtle and understated.

well done.

 

Blogger Anne Corrons said ... (5:52 PM) : 

So great, so vibrant!

 

Blogger matt williams said ... (6:41 PM) : 

I love how all of the colors just work togeather.

 

Blogger eyefordetail said ... (8:58 PM) : 

I love this look! I actually tried to pull something like this together last week and as I arrived to pick the kids up from school (trying to be a somewhat funky mama) a couple of people commented: "Did you walk today?!". Surely groovey trainers and tights have sartoral rights, not merely as go-betweens?

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:14 PM) : 

Amazing! More conventional shoes would diminish the cool nonchalance and creativity of her look...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:58 PM) : 

guys, the shoes are from brazilian designer oskar metsavaht (check out a lotta good stuff at osklen.com). u can find them at osklen stores in nyc (meatpacking district and soho).

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:01 AM) : 

I like the shoes with that outfit. It sets off all the gold/yellow/brown in the rest of the clothing.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:16 AM) : 

Also, to eyefordetail:
That's a shame that you were mistaken for a jogger! I know tights can be difficult to work into an outfit without looking like you're going running.

If I may, I suggest trying tights with a pair of oxfords, or flats/trainers that don't look quite like proper running shoes. I like to pair my black tights with my favourite pair of white Swears:

(And although you're probably smarter than this, be sure you're not pulling a Lindsay Lohan, a.k.a. mistaking your tights for trousers!)

 

Blogger gabrielazeanadal@hotmail.com said ... (7:12 AM) : 

Very interesting dress. It is so nice to look at.
Did she make it? Or does anyone know the shop/designer? Thanks!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:15 AM) : 

I love this outfit! - but there are a few little things that make it less appealing. For example, the lower waistband does create the illusion of shorter legs, and there is no waist to balance it!!! None-the-less, the textures are absolutely fabulous & a v. cute ensemble.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:44 PM) : 

It's funny how the color of the hair can complement an outfit so well. I don't think it would have worked all that well if she would have had, lets say, blond hair. it's all about dressing in the colors that works for you..

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:03 PM) : 

shoes like that are very easy to create - you just have to buy some cheep normal white shoes and than you can pimp the shoes up with the colour of silver grafitty :)

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (6:22 PM) : 

awesome!
Illusion of short legs? (anonymous above) Yeah maybe, but my guess is that if her legs look shorter, that's because she is short and that "illusion" often happens when a short person wears sneakers like that. (I know cuz I have almost exact same body type as hers, trust me having a higher waistband does not cure it) But you know, heck who cares if your legs look a little short. Not everone's 5'10'' and I think part of have personal style is really about not being afraid to appear a little less perfect than say, Carolyn Murphy. Look at Kate Moss, her legs a little weird, but she's nonetheless so beautiful. Our current conceptions of beauty tell us that you need a bit of imperfection to be perfectly beautiful.
by the way, that skirt and those sneakers are making me want to shop.:)

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:22 AM) : 

amen to anon 6:22 - I really think the illusion of "short legs" really suits her; she looks adorable! I don't think everyone should have to look like they have mile-long legs.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:25 PM) : 

I love her outfit, and she is a dream. She looks like a studious young lady from the 1960s. So young and so free. Timeless.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:31 AM) : 

love these closeups sprinkled throughout the blog, looks brilliant

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:12 AM) : 

wow...it's a mean feat that she can work metallics into her daywear and pull it off. she doesn't look garish in the slightest

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:32 AM) : 

add some duck-tape to complete
