Wow, everyone—thanks for your thoughtful and vivid responses. I’m on my tiny phone tapping away on my lunch break now, so cannot respond individually.
But I loved that some of you took off with a description of your own word. Was it Cat???? who talked about bohemian. That was my style in college, and I had that exact muddy skirt.
I think Suz talked about the garconne look. I have never heard of it, but I can picture it exactly. You know, Vogue did a spread 10 years ago where they dressed Emma Stone in neat, bright little mens suits, and I swear she was wearing Mary Poppins hats.
I appreciate that lots of you use classic items as a “taking off” point for layering other styles. I myself have two more words—comfortable and Italian. Italian meaning good design, unexpected, feminine and quality. (So I guess that’s more words….) This photo is a little of that style.
Finally, I agree with the reader who likes that almost British, legacy-like culture of cable-knit sweaters, grandmotherly scarves, and riding boots. I find it comforting to be surrounded by these items, or first-edition books, umbrella stands, or what have you.
