Comments on "On the Street....Dad's Former Sportcoat, Dublin"
A bloody amputation of a good tweed jacket. No finishing of any sort on the armholes. Awful!
It must be an ex-boyfriend's coat, not her Dad's.
This girl has amazing style! She really is one of a kind in Ireland!
awesome...I love what she did!!!
Makes me smile...

she is lovely!
Nicely innovative, and I think a finished edge would actually make it look stupid in this case.
She's finishing it off with the excellent shoes instead :-)
Creativity and vision! Truly fashionable!
this ripped off arm-amputation looks so brutal...
strange contrast to her happy face
I don't love the look, but your portraits get better and better. Amazing! Love the recent shots. LOVE.
I would never tear apart an article of my father's clothing. Sacrilege!
what fun! For a moment, I thought her style was so fresh, she was holding scissors!
same here, I love clothes that make you feel good by just looking at them and people who feel happy in the clothes they a wearing.

Ah! Very 'Dash meets Cash', LOVE her battered balenciaga and Van Noten pumps! The scarf on the head is too cute! Love it!
I think the look is charming w/o the jacket. The jacket is an interesting idea, but imho, doesn't really complement the rest of the look.
hmmmmm???? I kinda like it...in a slightly Edward Scissorhands sort of way:) Works for her!
Like the stripes with the check, but the cut-off jacket just looks way too contrived
Great photograph; the red bag, the stone building, how her headband brings out the colour of the stripes in her shirt, her red cheeks...she looks like she's wishing she hadn't cut off those sleeves. I wonder who's she's calling and where she's going to go...
Don't care for the jacket, but I like the shoes!
she's cute but i'd hate to be guy who owned that jacket
This is street style: innovative and recycling at once.
Even the mix of patterns, colors and textures work seamlessly.
A brilliant sartorialist!
The armholes are a nice distraction to the clashing plaid/stripe combination that does not particularly work in this case. Love the accessories, though.
No way did you just come by this one! I don't believe it. She's your sister, right? Clearly the coat is awesome but I also love her play on stripes. Her rings look interesting, too. Another A+, sir.
Amazing shoes, and the pattern clashing works stunningly
Love her :) n
At last I have your book - birthday request from my daughter. Sadly missed your signing in London. As a 1960s 'dolly bird' I am sad that London street style is so poorly reflected in your pictures. I see many stylish people of all ages and both sexes at London vintage fashion fairs.Their clothes are at least one year ahead of catwalks - because designers and stylists visit us. Without doubt the most stylish people you photograph are in Milan but I am also very happy to confirm that the most beautiful live in Dublin.
adorable!
stripes and plaid.awesome.

hmm, nope. hate it. but love the comment above about the coat being that of an ex-boyfriend! that's it!
she is lovely-but a quick trip to the tailor could make this look v chic instead of like a hatchet job xx

Infectious/Contagious smile.
LOVE!
Oh I love this picture! Her smile makes you want to smile! Love the contrasting pants and top, and I love her headband, is it a tie??
http://sequinsandbangles.blogspot.com
she ruined the vest !! pff
dont like this style anyway
cute smile :)
If you really appreciate line-outs, you should google Paul O'Connell lineout images! Watching him is like watching ballet mid-air. He belongs up there!
http://sequinsandbangles.blogspot.com
i noticed people see fashion in their own different way. nice one girl, you got style. :0
ouch
Oh boy, what would Dad say... I would not have the balls to cut a perfectly good coat, although there may be an overabundance of tweed in the island, so her view on the subject may not be mine...

I love the colours and the aura of this snap, so autumnal! The hairband is a great touch!
Cute little pose.
You can tell, She's got spunk!
I love the mixing of patterns. The colors all make it work so well.
It all looks great - except the jacket. I agree with CW - it looks "amputated". Terrible.
The shoes! What are they? I must have them.
I also adore the plaid upon stripe and the contrast of the perfectly tailored to the improvised headband and frayed jacket. But I'm torn on the cut sleeves. It could be precious, and clever. But part of me thinks it looks like a massacre to something handsome and should be passed down.
I appreciate her use of patterns,textures,creativity and colors...however I do not care for the jacket at all. I think the arm holes look awful...
What did that coat to her? It must be something terrible..... It seems a joke to me, I don't like it. But the rest is great!! :)
Loads of courage and she is spunky! Go girl power!!!

Welcome to Dublin!! This girl is a rarity on the streets, really. Not so sure how I feel about the mess she's made of a fine tweed however.
I think she bought it for a couple of pounds. I don't think it's her dad's....but nice experiment though.
Ugh!! This jacket is hideous!!
She's adorable, and those are killer shoes, but the jacket just looks like it was dropped on her shoulders from above--it's too heavy and dull for the rest of her outfit
That red bag is really cool... i love the diy on the jacket.
But it's so cool! People, it's just piece of clothes, not a puppy :)
whoa, it DOES look amputated. cool photo!
www.FashionSnag.com
I LOVE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE SHOES. love the color
looks unfinished... like it was a mistake??
http://3oclockpop.blogspot.com/2009/10/trim-pop_13.html
it does look weird at first sight but fashion is very often about daring and if you look at the whole ensemble a bit more you'll realise it's simply fresh and creative. well done!
That is a wonderful photo!
Great to see more of your Dublin shots! This one is taken on the steps of the Powerscourt Shopping Centre, I take it?
Love her great smile, her hairband, the patterns on her outfit, her shoes, and even the amputated jacket works well as part of her spunky ensemble. Great shot!
Yeah...no.
she does have great style and while i like the starts of her concept... like hte first commenter said, no finish on the arms make it look awful. everything else is dandy
i can only imagine how bad the jacket would look with her arms sticking through it. innovation for innovations sake isn't innovation.
In theory yes, but in practice no. Everything works except for the botched jacket-vest execution. It needs to be altered or tailored or finished more thoughtfully before it can work. Nip the waist?
Not so crazy for the jacket, I don't know if it looks strange to me because her arm isn't going through it, or because it looks so brutally ripped off...but I NEED those shoes!
that headband is adorable :)
The lady here indeed look lovely. Hard for me to fathom the arms amputated jacket however, a tad nondescript?. This one won't be a memento SArt, sorry I don't aquiesce
Definitely gets points for using his tie as a headband - daddy's little girl! And a good smile can make almost any crime forgivable. Maybe the sleeves had terrible stains or holes... alright, that's a reach, but cute shot at least.
LOVE! all your Dublin photos! Such a fantastic city with such understated style. And contrary to popular American belief, they have some great food too!
My favorite part by far is the stripes and plaid. And I think the red bag goes perfectly with them. As for the jacket...I wouldn't do it myself, and the outfit looks just as well or better without I think, but she pulls it off. Seems like it's her look. But an overall thumbs-up, she looks like a fun gal.
the emperors new clothes...
I'll bet she's having a good laugh at all the peevish comments about her chopped off sleeves! Half the fun of dressing for oneself is laughing at people who get their knickers in a twist over clothing.
cute! and definitely innovative... LOVE the shoes.
The headband is great! I love to have that and the shoes are fierceness!

The rings are gorgeous! Just bought two very similar from designer Lori Leavitt.

jacket has clean lines and the armholes look unfinished so it doesn't look balanced to me
She is pretty, really pretty with an amazing smile, I like the combination of checked trousers and striped top, the shoes, hmm, a bit worn out for my taste, sorry.. But the jacket, I do not get that at all.. Nothing wrong with the idea of cutting your dad's old jacket, but it doesn't work, seriously. Otherwise I like the picture though.
she looks like a Tim Burton character
I'm currently mourning the loss of that beautiful jacket. I like everything else about the girl and her outfit (including her phone that matches her purse), but i can't get over her cutting the sleeves off of that coat.
http://ccmcj.blogspot.com/
Oh, my...this jacket has got to go!
Ok I really love her.. Tartan, stripes and the scarf has its own pattern as well... But her smile is what pulls it all together. Good for you girl your as right as rain.....
Such beautiful Hair-almost like softened Chocolate and the head band is the perfect Royal colored wrapper.
Lovely striped(boat neck???)Shirt.
wow it's awesome, the blazer is so unique :P

To quote Gore Vidal, "Style is knowing who you are,what you want to say and not giving a damn"
it's the combination of stripes and plaid that intrigues me, the unfinished coat is an added bonus to the look
she looks lovely!
very nicely put together look...something about the shoulder padding bothers me though...
she's been reading Garance Doré...
I love the combination black and brown shoes-tartan trousers-striped jacket-red tote. The amputated over-size jacket is a bit too much though.
Fantastic and unpredictable. I love everything about this girl - the mix of textures and prints. Those shoes. Her rings. The sweet headband, and that battered handbag. Most of all, her smile. Total charmer.
Not a headband- A PRADA SOCK on this girls head!! Cool!!
So out of the ordinary and she pulls it off so effortlessly! Gosh, I need to be more adventurous with my dressing.
This is one of the most high ranked blogspots I've ever seen
WOW... the jacket.
I love the shoes.
Did she really sever someone's arm off? She's still got the weapon in her hand - guilty your honour!
Pretty and innovative! But why not wear dad's jacket WITH arms?
I am with CW. But I do have to admire her courage!
Just a bit disappointed that this idea's come straight out of a magazine...
The stripe/plaid pairing is fun. The rageddy armholes however look like fun gone too far - just silly and unattractive. Schizophrenic punk rock? Overall, this look is not working for me.
More Dublin shots please...
Leave the girl alone - the roughness of the jacket works...
She's cute as a button.
this is amazing!
something about it makes me smile, maybe the way she's almost hiding under the jacket. It looks like a turtle shell!
beautiful photo, great job.
She ruined a perfectly good jacket. Could have just rolled up the sleeves or something less drastic.
perfect outfit!!

COME TO MALLORCA!
this girls is so creative and resourceful.
i love her headband as well.
http://momfashionworld.blogspot.com/

I rather she has a cellphone than a cigarrette
and her purse OMFG
her hair is beautiful too
Def recommend her something like this ::

dontcha think??
Not a fan of chopping the arms off a jacket. I do, however, like the cap-toe pumps.
http://fashionroadkill-halifax.blogspot.com
Oh I saw her in town on Sat, and though I saw you as well in Powerscourt! Must have been! Great picture and look, love the splash of red from the bag..
She is happy and natural and casual in a funky way -, lovely smile and i like the green hairband. Who cares if the armholes are not finished off re previous comment way back., thats not what she is trying to say. Checks/stripes/tweed/ funny little court shoes/ green head band/ great smile - nice person - coooool and unpretentious unlike so many style/fashion victims. You don't see girls like this in New York, Milan, Paris - only London and Dublin. x
This girl's just sweet. :)
And I love her shoes!
Not impressed...I am a fan of aesthetic style. I do admire creativity and boldness in fashion but this does not work for me. I dont like the shoes and the bag is awful as well..I do love her hair and a gorgeous smile though.
Everything is perfect except for that poor tortured coat.
Left of center but admittedly very creative!
it's fun and outrageous, but as a whole, too mch going on for me. don't like the arm cut out, but like the idea of making something "new".
no. even if she had hemmed the jacket.
CUTE!
Now I like whats she is wearing
Shoes, handbag, rings,headband, pose and attitude are amazing!.....I really think she doesn't care what we think about the sleeves missing from this great jacket! she looks incredibly happy!!!!.great shot...thanks...
Love seeing the cross-section of the jacket in the cut-off arm holes. The suit/sport coat is the modern man's armor, and you can see why in this thick, stiff, warm ex-coat.
I seriously love her striped trousers a'la Betty Draper in Mad Men. Where can I buy pants like that?
Now maybe if she had a striped mohawk.....
wow, great haircut. I love this high heels.
Amazing I might have to copy her :D
comment/visit my blog- http://propsforbella.blogspot.com/
Nice shoes. The coat is too out there for me.
Why on earth to cut good sleeves off? I don´t understand. No need to publish this ancient opinion.
Fantastic shoes! Very nice! Nad the smiling is very cute, too.

Blog it! >> http://fashionmeetscologne.blogspot.com/
the trousers look like Alexander Mcqueen plaid ones, but are probably vintage. Nice to see a good looker of an Irish lass, casually snapped.
Ooh, very nice! And I love the combination of tweed and stripe and plaid. And the hairband is great too. And did I mention her shoes?
Okay, I'll calm down now...
Great outfit.
What a smile...u go girl and show em....
I'd need to see her standing to get a really great look but I love the pants...
She's precious. I Like almost ALL of her outfit, but why,oh,why would you cut the sleeves off that jacket? To make a vest? I'd be interested in seeing it on her - I just can't imagine it looking good.
Hopefully, she spent a lot of time inside without her "altered" jacket!
Cute girl - great shot - great blog!
I think it must be an Irish thing to mutilate perfectly nice garments! I've done the same thing on a number of occasions to varying degrees of success. I'd love to see what it looks like when she's wearing it. Otherwise the rest of her is perfect. She's spirited in a very Irish way. I love it.
So glad that you've picked up on the pale and interesting here. Such a refreshing contrast to the fake-tanned, hair-straightened, wannabe Paris Hilton's that walk the streets of Ireland.
And such an honor to meet you, What??!
I'm having to cheer my way through our rainy Okla. weather and this photo did the job...Thank You!!!
She could pull this off if it weren't for the red bag. I think the candy colours in her headband and bag make the outfit look cheap and crafty instead of dramatic.
Good idea on her part though, nice to see some real creativity in clothing.
she's pretty..and her bag is yummy..all broken in!
My eyes cannot get past the ripped off arms. Hideous!
I love her headband and shoes...so schoolgirl-cute!
Gorgeous face and smile. I like :-)
I hope Dad gave permission first!
Oh I love it. I'm a bit surprised to see all the fussing about a "nice" jacket. That jacket very well may have been a vintage piece that ended up with a huge hole in the arm, from a tear or moths or what have you. I see this and I see someone who has perhaps repurposed something to make it more usable for her. Even if it is not my style (I would be more likely to wear it whole), I take my hat off for the innovation and creativity. I love it all the more that it is raw and 'amputated' and brash, the concept isn't one that would lend itself well to delicate treatment.
good shoes!
I wanted to love the coat, but after checking it out like 10 times, it's still a "No". I wonder if the amputated look would be less of an issue for me if I did not happen to come across this very picture right after watching "The Lodger", a thriller movie by Alfred Hitchcock... Nevertheless, love everything else.
I love it. What a great idea! I mean, why not! Everyone owns a gillet, why not make your own twist on it!

con-se-quent!!
Not particularly thrilled about the sportcoat, unless it had some big stain on the sleeve & she was salvaging it. I am very interested in the red bag, though. www.nickiefrye.etsy.com
LOVE LOVE LOVE the shoes
Good review, thanks.
I love the tie headband! Great touch, I'll definitely try that out.
nice tartan and lovely pumps but gawd! what did she do to that splendid tweed jacket!!
so cute

Lovely shoes... I wonder where she got them...
What a cutie...Great smile...
That's my girl!! Go Shivvy!! xx CC
Shivuan You look amazing !!!! and yes she is a girl with spunk as one of you commented. LOVE it! individual, quirky and fun yes fashion should be fun !
I love the shoes and the hair scarf. Great picture!
i love this pose...so innocent and childish... Cute!
such a stylish and well ingenius idea
She IS adorable... but the jacket - it's just wrong.
I don't care about the coat....but the SHOES!! They are amazing; where can I get some?!
she's an artist, and she totally won! whether or not you like the jacket, you're still talking about it...
What a gorgeous smile. Love her headband.
Love her hairstyle and smile!
totally love this girl!!!!
I don't care for this style, the jacket specifically, but the pants are hemmed quite nicely!
Great picture, so natural! Completely disagree with all the people saying she shudve neatened off the armholes, I think its perfect as it is:)!!
http://thestylestrutter.blogspot.com
cute to see how a little real originality, which could not have been purchased in any vintage shop, goes beyond the comfort level of many.
& to all those concerned with ruining a jacket, maybe she gave new life to an otherwise unwearable jacket with a torn or moth eaten sleave.
Creative.
http://fashion-impact.blogspot.com/
her outfit has a real flapper look to it. the little head band, the short heels and she's doing something "different" with her look.
well done.
Creative and Individual. Great Chic Look!
