Cheetah Dress for the Sartorialist


dress, sandals: H&M - backpack: River Island - watch: Swatch


When I put this outfit together, I had three concerns.

1) dressing comfortable to cope with the hot, humid city, and the bunch of books I had to return to  the library
2) "a touch of yellow", to accommodate the dress-theme for the launch of Sacha.be
3) looking like someone The Sartorialist might photograph. Ok yes, mister Schuman is a bit of a prick, but maaaaan the boy can shoot. And 99% of the time, the people he shoots look amazing in that effortless, real, clean yet slightly edgy way. Practical yet on another level than your average human being. Aspirational? FO SHO


Of all the places I have been looking for some fresh ideas lately, The Sartorialist is where I've found it most. And I think I got it right in my own way, no? Now all I need is an NY backdrop and some magical sunlight. I really need to perfect my inconspicuous posing though.

  4. Oh, wist je dat niet? :) Juni is blote-benen-maand (of rokjesmaand). Het is de bedoeling dat iedereen een hele maand lang rokjes/shorts/jurkjes draagt om zo het zelfvertrouwen van vele vrouwen te doen stijgen. Er doen verschillende BV's mee en vandaag was de eerste dag. Hier vind je meer info: http://blotebenen.com/ en http://www.nieuwsblad.be/article/detail.aspx?articleid=DMF20120529_133 Ik vind het wel leuk, ik doe in ieder geval mee :)

  17. I LOVE these photos, and the dress. Sometimes I get really inspired by the Sartorialist and other times I think, that person left the house looking to be photographed. That annoys me.
    If you did have a NYC backdrop I'd be happy to add drinks to it! :)
