Comments on "On the Street....The Accountant, Sydney"
My best friend is an accountant in California-- she'll be thrilled that there's more proof out there that accountants can be cute!
She is so pretty... love her sweet smile.
love the shrunken blazer...but a miniskirt? hardly work appropriate for an accountant..
Wow! These gals in conservative and hands-on (yesterday's horticulturalist) careers dress so stylish, young and sexy! You won't see an account dressed as hip as this gal in fashion forward NYC! Maybe it's the warm climate and the attitude down under?

she's beautiful.
Wow! Business casual sure is a lot more palatable, down under. Wouldn't it be great if E&Y would institute a similar dress code? :)
she looks incredibly fresh and beautiful. she definitely makes a monochromatic outfit sing!
scott- i met you in dallas, and you asked what i do. i told you i'm an accountant.
let me follow up with this fact: no accountant looks like this in the u.s.
end of comment.
Dear Lord, if this is how the accounting and financial community dresses down there I may have to start finding excuses to go Down Under for business.
how cute! Only someone that tiny could wear such a tiny skirt & get away with it.
yay. first commentator here :) i'm such a big fan of this blog. ♥
she looks very elegant.
the layering is very smart--look at the combination between cropped blazer+oversized shirt+ miniskirt. she surely knows how to dress! ;)

Just one word. Wow.

"fashionably tasteful.have a bite"
Why are people down under so cute and stylish even with so-called "serious" jobs? i wish accountants, Lawyers and Stock brokers dressed like that in the states!
i don't know if the way you shoot the girls and boys in sydney or it is the fact, but they all looked so carefree, stylish and cheerful! this is definitely one of my fave shot for documentary quality - picture in motion is just so much more natural!!! xx
Australian accoutants look like her ??? No Way !
Amazing picture! I love the wind in the hair!

Daym!!! My accountant is a 60ish grizzald old man who has yellow teeth. :) How is she with Realestate tax codes? hot hot hot.
Bob LA
Don't know what I like better . . . That photo, or those legs.
She looks too carefree to be an accountant!
www.openzedoor.blogspot.com
The financial services people in Australia dress better than their counterparts in the US it seems.
fantastic.
Love the angle and motion of the shot! She is beautiful.
And people with real jobs DO dress this well in NYC, but perhaps in the business world here it is unacceptable to wear a mini skirt to the office. Women have this thing about being taken seriously.
Simply lovely!
Love the blog too...
AC
PS - Congratulations from Lisbon... :)

that is a fabulous outfit, but if she wants to be taken seriously at the office, she needs a longer skirt!
Very nice!! I'm an accountant in DC, and it would be refreshing to work with other accountants with style like her :)
wish that was me! she looks so effortless
so simple and so stylish, love it!
So there you go. Who says that just because you have a boring profession you can't dress in style. Refreshing!
Love the blazer and shirt, but honestly, that skirt makes her look rather trashy. Lovely in all other aspects.
she's great.
o my! such simple perfection. I LOVE THE JACKET...AND THE EYEBROWS....molto bene.
http://www.lucasjonesart.blogspot.com
I like how brash yet feminine these women are you're photographing.
kudos
the definition of glowing
very pretty, what a beautiful smile :)
Funny, I never saw all these casually stylish people in Sydney. Where do you find them?
Skirt's a bit short, but it's all gorgeous. My favorite thing about her is the eyebrows. Full dark eyebrows FTW.
Such a gorgeous shot and such a gorgeous girl!
So pretty and effortless!
so pretty....i love this skirt
skirt could be 1 or 2 inches longer
Beautiful girl :)
gorgeous woman.
great photo, it's all about capturing the hair in motion.
Time stops for no man
why does everybody think she is dressed for work? she could be on her day off and be dressed in her casuals. that wouldn't change the fact that she is an accountant .
WOWZA !
why don't accountants in NYC look like this ?
Beautiful
RJT
where are the fashionable Australian men?
Very cute girl, nice simple outfit (but for work?), WOAH girl! You have a great body but you can't be wearing a little miniskirt like that to the office o_O
It's a bit too casual, I don't know... It's possible to dress professionally but still be sexy, why doesn't anyone comment on that?
sso cool! And the picture is great !
xx,
www.dimogonda.blogspot.com
Oh, love it! Så hot & simple!
You're making this up! What's in the water down under that makes for these blithely lovely creatures walking around?
This is such a pure shot of breezy young single womanhood. Heavenly.
something tells me she isn't wearing the short skirt to the office and that perhaps she is carefree because she doesn't need to be in the office. nonetheless, workday or not, if i ever get stopped by you guys i hope that this is the expression i'm wearing. you know what i'm talking about, that "to hell with it i'm gorgeous" face. or perhaps maybe i should just move to sydney.
She's an accountant?
Does she have a boyfriend?
I'll move to Sydney to marry and accountant that looks like that
Aussie rules! It seems that Aussie style is making for some sour grapes and envy. She is neither trashy or any of the other epiphets drirected her way. Considering her look and her job someone took her seriously as well. Enough with the drear grey body armour of the 'professional class' its pretension and covers for many sins of omission and worse give me really skill and style and that smile any day of the work week, and double on weekends! lol! Oh and yes torn between wow, great photo, smile, legs as well. So kind of you to get it all in one post
she is so beautiful! ^^
Beautiful, but where are the the men of Australia?
fell in love with the jacket! it's in my wishlist now:)
I like how she's been caught in the moment. Not really a fan of the skirt (too clingy and stretchy), but I love the top half of the outfit as well as her fresh, makeup-free complexion.
Ach! Sartorialist, what were the shoes?
Wow, THIS.IS.ELEGANCE !
The skirt is not a really office-like material, but: What a fresh sight!!!! People in general should not be so cautios on what to wear to work!
www.viamontenapoleone-helsinki.blogspot.com
Love the jacket, if the lawyers look anything like the accountants and stockbrokers in Sydney I'm on the next flight out
great shot!
Fresh look!
Money and beauty seem to be quite a common combination in Sydney. Lovely combination!
oh my thats beautiful
Tsk Tsk!
No mini-skirt as business attire.... ever!
She has beautiful hair - and I like the white watch. It stands out nicely.
She's as lovely as anyone could possible be.
Love the movement on this photo, love also the contrast between her skin tone and the black of her outfit!
i think i need to move to sydney.
this photo is like a fresh breeze--I agree with the previous poster about the wonderful movement of this picture. Very cute!
I am changing my accountants. Can you tell me where she works?
I work for a Big4 accounting firm in Melbourne; our (female) dress code does seem quite relaxed compared to the rest of the business community, e.g. the young stockbroker's and accountant's styles are typical of any young woman in any corporate role, though the length of this accountant's skirt is less common.
A big fan of this shot. Love the tones, the blazer cut. Looks like it might have taken a few takes too - great effort!
thats the cutest accountant i have ever seen
@ inna:
i agree with you!
there are no other words to describe perfection.
wow.
the smile: wow
the eyes: wow
the skin: wow
the hair: wow
the legs: wow
the body: wow
the look: wow
Yeah she's a keeper... great angle

This must be said. Accountants surprisingly have the best sense of style.
Many in the fashion/advertising/legal industry all too easily latch onto trends, while the cerebral accountant always mutes down a trend to keep a classic, simple, and effortless look.
this is my favourite style at the moment: short blazer, miniskirt, casual grey T-shirt... efortless chic :)
There's some Monica Bellucci in that face ... !! :)
It's Sydney, it's hot, it's almost Christmas and she is relaxed and stylish and laid back. People dress totally differently here and are not as hung up on what is 'appropriate'. Why isn't a short skirt OK? This is why australia is so great!
Great jacket. A thin, silver chain around her neck might look nice. Accountant? You kidding?
I need an accountant!
Know this girl and NO she is not going to the office dressed like this. She is on a day off.... sorry guys...
Cute girl and I love the jacket, but the rest is kind of wack. The ruching on the sides of the super short skirt makes it look more appropriate for a club than for business. The poor quality of the t-shirt doesn't help.
This pretty lady looks so much like someone I know who is financing it up in San Francisco. Come to the West Cost! People have style, I promise!
maybe she is an accountant at a fashion company?
She might not actually be going to work, that just her profession.
Basic is beautiful!!!
Casino Royal
Vesper; Even accountants have imagination Mr Bond.
Tristan
amazing look. and amazing legs.
Concerning the short skirt dilemma:
First of all, the girl looks great, that is undeniable. She's fresh faced and the shot is terrific.
Now, being more professional does not mean being covered head to toe or wearing shoulder pad jackets and old grandma shoes. She's not 'trashy' by ANY means nor I'd say 'inappropriate' but when you work in the business field, come on, you just do not wear a skirt (which seems to be the tight short American Apparel kind) short enough that if you bend over, a client/coworkers/superiors can see everything. This is just common sense. Obviously it's warm in Australia right now, but I think if she wore tights it'd be a lot better.
Be sexy, go for it, but there's a limit in the work field. Take that gorgeous stockbroker two photo's down for example.
I would go down-under for her anytime.
Maybe it was casual Friday? :)
Surely that skirt is NSFW?? haha!
pretty standard...
I was just about to say that Scott. People, don't assume all Australian accountants dress like this. Conservative, high profile firms that adhere to a strict dress code is commonplace. It depends what field you're working in. The arts/fashion industry has always been more relaxed about individual style. Add to that the heat wave we've been experiencing lately, and voila - short skirt.
why is everyone assuming she's on her way to work? everyone in the states has work on the BRAIN! just lovely...
If I had a set of pin's like that, I wouldn't bother wearing a skirt at all.
As for all those comments that suggest the length of her skirt means she can't be taken seriously at work... I mean really, where are all you people from? Definitely NOT Sydney.
absolutely terrific
you can have a "serious" job, dress individually, and still be taken "seriously"
and for those that say she wouldnt be taken seriously, only because theyve got preconceived notions about attractiveness
and
too much seriousness in life makes life much more complicated-seeming that it is
youve done splendidly scott
i adore this picture
Her eyebrows make it!
WOW..really...?..uhh BELLA...
Oh no, that's nearly DSYC territory, for sure. That skirt is chochatastic. It's a shame; she's so cute.
OMG! I love the fact that she is a professional with amazing style. I just graduated from Law School, perhaps I should practice law in Sydney so I can wear fab clothes!!!!! Instead of drab suits!
i highlyyyyy doubt that woman was going to work.
People are writing that she should be wearing something more work appropriate?
Even though Australia is fairly laid back, odds are she is at play, not at work . . . (as with The Horticulturalist - I doubt she wears a leather mini dress to plant rooftop gardens).
Would kill for those legs and love the monochromatic colour scheme.
Oh, she's fresh and pretty, love her smile!
XoXO, Cassie.
Who says she's going to work?
If you have a decent body and your under the age of 35, flaunt it!
P.S.
I'm not saying that just because I am older, I'm 17.
She's goergeous, pretty and fresh !
Great picture, Scott !
Why is everyone assuming that just because she is an accountant that she is on her way to work?! I see no briefcase people!.
Proportions of the blazer compliment her lean figure perfectly; those legs legs legs! Texture of the skirt subdued by the black is also great I feel; she looks like she just walked off an Alexander Wang show Australian-style.
Please have a peep at my blog...
www.whatinthenameoflove.blogpsot.com
This is a stunning pic of an absolutely stunning subject. Love her hair and her minimal make-up, I seriously covet the blazer and the watch (and legs)
She pulls it off perfectly, though I doubt she's on her way to the office- I've never seen a professional wear a skirt like that. I'm sure she looks just as gorgeous in her regular workwear.
I love that hint of green at the top of the shot.
Do you take their photos before you approach them or vice versa? I love everything about this shot!
well she obviously wasnt on her way to right??
even if it was casual Friday - you could never get away with a skirt like that in the finance world...im sure the HR manager would be onto you real quick haha
pretty girl - nice pose!
Oh my.. Accountant...serious? She' so great, simple and beautiful...
I love blog, congratulations to Belo Horizonte, Brazil
She looks gorgeous, perfect look for a day off.
The Heartbreak
there seems to be a real misunderstanding in what is considered workplace appropriate by those in the fashion industry.
SUPER STYLE, Visit my fashion blog

1. An accounting student
2. An accountant on annual leave
3. An accountant who wants a promo
Love the blog, any melbournites in your pics?
Ok so you have proved the point that accountants can be fun! I like her outfit it's casual but with style. I hope u shot this when it wasn't a work day because that mini skirt is not appropriate for work......
http://mushitushi.blogspot.com
The proportions here are great, if the skirt were longer the balance would be thrown off.
easy breezy.
she's working this look like it's her (second) job.
i've never seen a woman make a watch look so fierce.
a beautiful girl...with killer eyebrows!!!!
captivating photo- nice and simple style, beautiful subject :)
comfortable and chic, i love it!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE! every single one of the portraits.
THIS! is fashion, glamour, just... PERSONALITY....
BTW.... how do you upload pictures in such hight quality?
Now, which firm would allow this outfit? Chic, but very much a faux pas in the financial industry.
However, if she's not on her way to work, then she's fantastic.
Simple and basic...
hmm what accounting firm lets her wear a skirt that short
who cares what she's wearing, this is a beautiful photograph
what a beautiful and simple outfit!
www.voguettegirl.blogspot.com
very nice, nicely balanced
What a beauty!!!
Great shot too: great idea to take her picture while she's walking
Great photograph!
Yeah, this is interesting. I'm an economist, so I appreciate that a woman can have a "man's" job and be feminine and attractive. Still, I do hope she wasn't going to work in that outfit! The plain fact is that it still is sufficiently difficult for women to be taken seriously in traditionally male jobs and so women who dress noticed sexually at work are not with the potential for sexual notice are not doing the rest of us any favours (I have a colleague I would love to cover up on occasion...)
Australia is an interesting mix. I lived there for a couple of years and since I was in a diplomatic job I obviously was not dressed like that for work. I had forgotten this until today but I remember that when I first moved there I was surprised at how short the skirts were that women sometimes wore to work.
I don't know. Some might think it's cool and empowering, and I know that Australia can be hot, but I prefer a more conservative look for work. After work...different story.
What I haven't seen in your Australia posts is what I personally thought Australians do uniquely well in fashion. I'm thinking of things with a bit of an Asian influence - assymetrics, loose, natural-fibre clothing. I saw some absolutely gorgeous women when I was in Melbourne in particular who were rocking terrific shapes linens, for example, (which I rarely wear here in North America). I suppose you have depicted that one girl in the soft, neutral dress a couple of posts below. Hmm...Will be interested to see what you come up with from here!
Great Photo ..of and Amazing Woman !!!! So Natural..WOW!!!
I'm from Sydney and I think a little poetic license has been used here. Just saying...
PERFECTION!
minus pretense..
Wow. :)
being a sydneysider, i think this image just proves that people here try to be individualistic however they fail to respect the corporate rules of professionalism. that skirt is too short to be taken serious and she was my accountant, i would seriously reconsider.....
She looks like a model! She looks fabulous indeed!
Great photo!!

She looks so cute!
A PIECE OF PASSION
i must admit, you wont see accountants like this in my neck of the woods,
isn't that skirt a tad short for the office. i mean it is fashion forward but too short in my book
Who cares what her shoes are like with a skirt like that....
if i'd be in sydney i'd change accountant.
sexy... stylish... stunning.
Thats not very suitable for work!!Nice outfit though!
i love this pic, because it so natural and fresh.
the girl is my favourite.
Love it that you're adding the occupation to the faces and styles: it makes the pictures even more interesting and real. Thanks, Scott. The Sartorialist is my daily antidote to newspaper and outside world insanity.
love the hair. she looks mixed.
neat!
i went to high school with her! how exciting!
Very chic...
XXX...
She is gorgeous! You have been getting some really beautiful people on here lately. love it..
www.FashionSnag.com
Looking at the lenght of her skirt, she is from Scotland.
Ha, I hope she's not on the way to work - the skirt looks a bit tricky for office wear ;)
I was lined up to be an accountant, in the US, for a major firm, and not to toot my own horn here or anything but people have said I'm beautiful a few times too... and my friends are all very beautiful (also accountants). So to all the people who are shocked by a good looking accountant, go check out the ones in Texas :P
Why do the wimmenz on The Sartorialist always look so much classier than the menz?
gorgeous!
DDDAAAMMMNNNNN haha
does anyone know who makes that watch? it is gorgeous.
wow! truly a dreamgirl. Style, carrier and she's beautiful
love her smile and her top part but i think the bottom is too short- at the office or at the club.
She's got a beautiful face and figure. Love the jacket and confidence BUT not liking the belt that slipped down......surely not for work?
Who knows if this is a work outfit or not but people shouldn't define how they dress by their jobs or careers!!!
She looks awesome!
chick and energic young girl.... love her fashion style.
I need a new accountant!
my lord. audit please.
She ,looks lovely!
Zepequeña.
I am connecting through New York as I type... I think I'm trading in my ticket for Sydney. I don't even care if she can add.
Love this pic...
Is different!!!
lo.
www.lovintrash.blogspot.com
This shot has great movement and what a cute blazer.
There were some comments in here that her outfit is inappropriate for the workplace. Your right.
However 11th nov was a friday and here in australia we have 'casual fridays' where we can turn up to work in casual wear, not all companies do this though.
she looks fab!
The movement you've captured is beautiful. She is gracefully dressed in a contemporary way.
yikes, what a knockout. great shot!
Hapa power! (This girl is clearly half-Asian. As am I.) :D
I think this photo is focused more on how pretty the person is rather than her style. If we focus on her style, there's not a whole lot to say other than the fact that her skirt is a bit to short for a professional if she was on her way to work. It just doesn't seem like this takes that much to put together or make look good, neither of which should attributed to any photo that is meant to represent style or fashion.
she is beautiful and has such a great sense of style. i love everything about this outfit and what i feel brings it all together is her smile. it shows she is proud to be herself and knows she looks good. and she has just enough jewelry on. sorry have to say it again she is beautiful.
quoting -
"The Sartorialist is my daily antidote to newspaper and outside world insanity."
On this, I can only say "you're kidding". Much is fatuous in this blog, but at the same time, some isn't.
I read this too, and enjoy it - I try very hard not to post yet again about my entire distaste for the fad of pigeon toes.
I'm older - and I wore miniskirts to work as a scientist in the early seventies. Maybe not that mini. I do think it takes away power in the long run, if, indeed she is on her way to work.
I gather this is news in Sydney.
Ok everyone settle down, she clearly isn't dressed for work! You can still say what you do for a living when you're on your day off. She is on oxford street, paddington, a shopping street, so she is probably chilling, not on a work break!
Well, she would just look pretty in anything.
simply and chic..i like it.
Miniskirt? Maybe it was her day off.
Regardless, she looks lovely in this casual getup + blazer to dress things up. If only I had legs like those too.
I don't know if she uses that kind of outfit for work, but if she does... that miniskirt is kinda cheap and bitchy for a professional.
This is probably my all time favorite look on this page. They way she's dressed, the smile, the "action" shot. Everything is just absolutely perfect.
Australia! Professional life is hot. I don't like the way they have rings on their index finger though.
this is super chic. love the energy of the photo!
wow she sure is beautiful
Why all this reverence for "The Office"??? I haven't seen many dressed for "work" lately who wear nice clothes. Rather cute and chic than drab Dockers and muffin tops.
why are so many people commenting on the fact that she's an accountant? your occupation shouldn't determine your style (or your life for that matter)
she looks gorgeous!
if i were that age & had that petite figure, i'd wear a skirt like that on my day off too. the skirt looks like another layer. great.
You know what the last few photos make me think? I think that the US is very behind the times with corporate dress codes. It's really refreshing that elsewhere, people can express themselves and be comfortable and professional at the same time. I just quit a job because I had to wear pantyhose under everything. Who or what can change this, and when? Sart, sic'em!
I really like the cropped blazer with the grey shirt and the black skirt. Seems to work really well. I am jealous of Australian weather right now. Must be glorious.
I'm an accountant also and I live in San Francisco and dress similarly. I can't get away with a skirt quite that short...
her face is so Uzbeki...beautiful.
Saida
She's dressed like that because it's Casual Friday- not sure if it's done overseas, but in Australia, Friday's the day where you get to come into work a little more relaxed- because you know, TGIF!!
Wow She's so beautiful. I love her jacket!
i live in australia and there is no way this girl was on her way to or from work, it must have been her day off. her attire is not acceptable for an accountant.
she looks beautiful though! amazing photo!
she is beautiful:D
To Jeffery,
That is not true, I know plenty of fashion forward accountants in NYC. Maybe because NYC big accounting firms have strict policy of dress code all year round.
pretty smile:)
