Oh, This Old Thing?

Streetfashion255 copy
Everything about this image is beautiful. The suede booties. The tiered tulle skirt. The perfectly tinted sunglasses. The arresting colors of the Chloe bag. And, do I see a pair of socks pushed down about the ankles? I do. I do indeed. This woman is wearing what appears to be no less than three layers on top and three on the bottom - yet still has air about her that this isn't any more special than any other day's ultra-glamorous look. Honey, I want to see your closet. I'm dying to know what you'd wear after dark. And I've got to see the rest of this bag collection. You were channeling your inner Carrie Bradshaw in this photo, my dear. Seriously.

And let's give props where props are due. The photo is by Vanessa Jackman taken on the streets of Paris. Note how she catches the pops of red in the windowsill flowerbeds? Maybe it was just timing, but I'm guessing she masterfully designed the composition to be just right. Vanessa, it's working darling. keep up the great work.

Love,
your newest fan.

What the beautiful people are saying...

is that me? [hee hee]

Does anyone else hear Jody Watley in the background beside myself? I sooo wanted that skirt when I was a teenager.

Just found the Chloe bag, which I love, on sale at NM. In those colors! Thanks, Franki. Just purchased another handbag I do not need!

Thank you so much Franki!Am blushing furiously.
And YES! you DO see some little socks around her ankles :):) Weirdly, I didn't notice the little socks until I got back home and was looking at the pis on my computer screen. And yep, this is what she was wearing TO WORK...could you imagine what she wears after dark?

Love it! but I have to add I took my Prada heels to Paris this New Year and let me say....it is d*#n near impossible to walk the streets of Paris in heels that high. It takes skill! A real professional! :)

Something to say, gorgeous?
