obsession

Photo from The Sartorialist posted January 29th, 2010

My homepage is The Sartorialist. Everyday, when I go online, I am greeted with pictures of stylish ladies and gentlemen, who remind me of my mother, or rather, of the style, grace, class, and manners that she tried to instill in me when I was growing up. My style, to this day, is influenced by her and her wisdom though I have also tried to define my own sense of aesthetic independently of her. When I saw this picture, I gasped because it evoked all that I strive to achieve in a look. This woman has the class, the grace, and refinement that my mother showed me a woman should have. Yet, she is still quirky and unique with her style. I am particularly fond of her turban, but it's the way she combines it all with the big glasses, the fur and the chunky jewelry... It's pure style perfection. I am seriously obsessed with this look...
