On the Street....Proportion Play, New York
Our eyes play tricks on us.This young lady looks almost provocative with her tailored jacket and long, summer legs. However, under that jacket, she was wearing the same jean shorts that all the other young ladies are wearing this time of year. From the front she would seem unremarkable, but from the back it's a whole different story.

post a commentLove jacket and the light yellow hat is cool!
--Nolita Vintage--
love the color of the benie!!
http://donotshoeme.blogspot.com/
I like her look!!!!
Goodness, I love this idea! How cheeky.
Lovely - and you're right...her legs looks beautiful!
Love her blazer! Interesting how perspectives can play tricks...

I like her knit hat...it looks like one of the popular patterns on Ravelry. I'd like this outfit better with some wedgies or some shoes with height. It would be a little more sassy.
I app-solutely ♥

Understood. I have worn several "tunic" length tops and jackets lately that both hit nearly the bottom of my shorts. I have often wondered if this is proper or tacky looking. But then I think, "Its summer and 110 degrees outside, one must do what one must do". I think this young lady looks great, the shoes speak volumes. They tell you, when she turns around she's going to look just great. I looks forward to the weather cooling down and being able to wear a blazer. Wow, what a wonderful thought!
And she's wearing Toms!
http://www.toms.com/our-movement/
Yeah actually she almost looks naked ! I love the color of her hat !
It's always something you can't see that creates the fantasy. And her legs and the unseen face are the biggest fantasy in this shot.
http://remedyrouge.blogspot.com
this would look better with heels. It would elongate her already beautiful legs and add to the proportion of the jacket.
she is gorgeous! what a flawless fall look!
perhaps out of proportion?
loving the beanie with the blazer!

This does look provocative but in a sexy way :) Luckily she's wearing shorts!

She's charming!

She is enticing yet enchanting. Awesome look, and yes, Toms do rock!!!
yellow caps .. cute!!!
i dunno.. i kinda feel like if you wear a knit cap you almost need pants.. ;-)
of course if i had legs like that good luck getting pants on me...ever!
xoxo
I thought she was naked. Love the hat.
Teresa
Love the yellow and blue. Warmly, Karen
I love that hat because it is such a bright color. You are right, fantastic from the back. x
www.FashionSnag.com
I like this look, too!
That touch of buttery yellow is a rich choice and compliments the jacket nicely.
Here is a late-summer version of the "pants-less" look that was a hit at the top of spring season.
I love that she looks relaxed and comfortable in her outfit, but at the same time, so sassy. Even the way she stands suggests confidence. She's great.
Really great outfit!
xo.

Her hat is very cool ! I wish it was weather like that over here so I can wear my denim shorts too :p !
Winter time from the waist up!
http://jimjims.net
So true!
Love the blazer tho!
Julia
Very cheeky. Too hot to wear a blazer at all where I live, but she tempts me to try!
She is showing off her best feature!
WOnderful...although I DO want to see the front (and I was secretly hoping she had on jean shorts..cutoffs...)
Interesting point of view. I do love the idea of the bold jacket with the playful Toms shoes!
are those TOMS shes wearing?? nice outfit BTW. but its getting cold now for this kinda look
just the perfect outfit for summer! she's effortlessly stunning! xxx
http://cestlamademoiselle.blogspot.com/
The hat is the best thing about this. So colourful :D
She does have pretty amazing legs though too it has to be said!
http://www.realityhypothetically.blogspot.com
I love the bright yellow beanie & the fact that you posted her from behind.
Always finding the interesting surprises to share Scott!

stunning shot and commentary.

i totally agree! love it!

nice style, although I would like to see her also from the front.
..beautiful! :)
i want her legs!:)
nice hat color!
kiss

beautiful legs!
lucky her :D
www.iristinunin.blogspot.com
cool outfit&very nice comment:)
Loving the hat! What a gorgeous shot!
xoxo
http://mroseleine.blogspot.com
Wow! If I had mile-long legs like hers, I too would risk looking like I had forgotten my pants! Alas, I am not as bold as she...
Great post, I love the tricks our eyes play on us. She's totally rocking that neon beanie too! XOXO, Natalya
A yellow cap looks great! The combination of jacket, shorts and a knit cap is wonderful!

I really like this post, and I completely agree. She looks great.

LOVE this!! She looks great!!
I like her hat as well!
http://cestclassique.blogspot.com/
love the outfit! great photo!
i love the efect of her long legs with the blazer. colour combination is interesting as well.
greetings
I adore this, everything is different from the front !
It's amazing how blazers can change an outfit!
www.rachaeldiab.blogspot.com
Love those shoes Rodia
www.rodia.es
cheeky yet woolly
Nice shot)) But I totally understand what you are talking about: same thing happened to me last friday as I went to the salon, wearing shorts and (well, not a jacket) white cardigan:)
Oh, what fun! Love the pop of color from the hat. It's so funny how the most alluring images always seem to reveal only snippets of a person; from the front, this would have been just another shot of just another girl.
Cool hat. Love the Blog.
Be sure to follow mine at tuxandtie.blogspot.com and follow me on twitter at tuxandtie
Thanks Alex www.alexingram.com
Heels would be cheezy/tarty...to those who suggested it. It's too predictable.
She looks perfect.
...WAY better than those tourists across the street!
thank you so much! this is exactly what i'm going to wear tomorrow. not with a yellow cap, but with cap for sure.... :)
great legs matched with a great hat. Love it!
http://www.cicidi.com/
this is such a lovely trans-seasonal look. Chic and tailored and just a little bit cheeky. It can't be easy to show and much (long and tanned - jealous, moi?) leg, wear a luminous yellow oversized beanie and STILL work the look with an air of sophistication. I'm impressed and slightly envious. X
ella-lapetiteanglaise.blogspot.com
Super cute! She completely pulls it off too, and like everyone else has commented, I too love that hat!

With legs like this I think she can wear as short as she feels like.
I like this look, but you have to remember sometimes fashion can get you into trouble. I had a similar look like this and walking home one night, some man followed be and grabbed my but from behind :(. I was fine and he ran away, but still. We got to remember sometimes I think, that we have to be careful what we choose to wear where.
its your eye for such things that make you an artist :)
nice legs, however i cannot stand those types of hats, it looks like an octopus is attacking her head.
totally agree with your comment on the back vs. the front. from the back you imagine that shes wearing something very chic and cool--it gives the picture an air of mystery
This is absolutely excellent.
Her 'hat' is really cool!
http://fashiondraft.wordpress.com/
Amazing legs!
Great shot of a girl with beautiful proportions.
not working for me. sorry, it just looks like she forgot to put on pants. nothing arty about it.
i have that problem all the time! people are always yelling at me to put pants on so i have to turn around-sorry my sweater is longer than my shorts
http://watermelonfeet.blogspot.com
Still unimpressive from the back, I'd say...from the back she just look like she forgot to wear pants.
Proportion? what proportion?
I believe he makes an interesting point. I would walk up behind her and say wow, that girl could probably use a some more clothes, and yet as she turns around i would've realized she has shorts on and i wear the same kind of shorts sometimes. Should women not wear shorts this short or just not jackets that long at the same time? The photo is also interesting because of the use of color and angle. The eye level is shorter so she has to have been standing there for a decent amount of time for the picture to have been shot at a low angle, which sparks the question for me, what's she looking at? Are the people across the street looking at the same thing?
Great colors, awesome legs, etc!
That is so true! Hahaha!
With those legs, she needs to go on tour with Tina.

the pop of yellow looks great! amazing photo
i love that illusion
Too good post and superb model, Thanks.
I’ve actually done this but with a long cardigan & skirt not jean cutoffs but to the same she-forgot-her-bottoms-effect.
xx
MarielsCastle
what a gorgeous picture! And I love how the angle you view her at totally changes the perception of her... sort of perfect for fashion.
lachicmenagerie.blogspot.com
She looks great from behind!
Beautiful picture, gorgeous legs, but the hat's gotta go. The weather is too hot/ humid in NYC for that. How can she stand it?
Yes probably different from the front. Funny and awesome legs. Great jacket
Like the sexy Cake song goes for Short Skirt Long Jacket....
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......
those jean short shorts are so popular these days. and wearing them with a long jacket like this cheats everyone.

so great
http://loresfashion.blogspot.com
Its nice the comvination of a formal blazzer & a yellow hat. Jst luv it! :P
Love the hat and the shoes, I barely wore any other shoes this summer myself, haha.
ahah cuuuute beanie!!
and yes very naughty from the back!! tsk tsk young lady
http://thinkdish.weebly.com/
I like her outfit, I would wear the same thing if my legs were like that!

http://not-just-clothes.blogspot.com/
The yellow touch changes the outfit completely...it's the magic touch that can make a good look or a bad look!
http://fashiondoesntexist.blogspot.com/
Cool hat! Love the colour X
Actually she's wearing PAEZ and not Tom's!
www.paezportugal.com
Different and fresh, but still I fancy more the layered look, also from the back view.
Another great photo! She has great legs & fer attire somehow works. Would have liked to see her from the front too!
love the combination of summer and winter in the look
also the formal jacket and casual- holiday-like shoes
The shoes were the first things that caught my eye. TOMS??
I work with her at Superdry! That's domonique!
Her and that bright green hat all the time. She's fun!
I like her look...great jacketsa
does she or doesn't she? hmmmm.
haha she owned all of us for a moment :)
like the short-blazer style!

Clever pic, I love it! She looks great!
heels would have made this look outstanding.
j'adore cettre difference entre le coté tres courts des shorts, robe ou jupes cette année et le coté douillet que l'on veut nous enseigner... cette fille a l'air tres jolie en tout cas et son bonnet me donne terriblement envie :) !
Bisous, bisous, Alizée G.

The material is beautiful too. It gives her a real look of luxury. The material makes you want to touch her
Yesterday I friend of mine wear like this
Lovely
http://coolneeded.blogspot.com
i love seeing girls do that, i also love doing it myself! Plus the way her body is posed to a tilt gives the blazer's wavy curves an extra something.
oh my god!i feel like i'm looking at myself in this shot!i have a similar blazer, a similar yellow hat and i pretty much dress like this all the time, down to the invisible denim shorts and flats...and what i can see of her facial structure resembles mine. we even have almost the same complexion and figure.
i wish i could contact her somehow...
Cool! She has awesome legs.
I'd be willing to bet she's pretty remarkable from the front.
Love this look & her long leggs!!
lovely. i've never thought about it in a "doublesided" way...but it's so true!
Gorgeous! I love throwing a blazer over tiny shorts. Such a sexy trick.
xx
http://novembergrey.blogspot.com/
I love the look from the back and the legs are good. Would have been interesting to have a frontal photo as well to see the full contrast of the outfit with hidden shorts.
WHEN I LOOK AT THIS IT FEELS GOOD..
JUST A FEELING....
A VERY GOOD FEELING...
THAT IS HOW I KNOW SOMETHING IS GREAT JUST BY HOW I FEEL IN IT'S PRESENCE...
XXOO
MELISSA
I would love to see the front of the outfit, but so far it has lovely potential. nothing like long lovely legs on a summers day and a cheeky outfit to match.
Great style!
Great legs! Like the shoes and cap combo, makes the look.
love it!
