Stacey
20/08/2012
I noticed Stacey and her huge group of friends walking down Water Street one afternoon, and the whole lot of them looked amazing. Each and every one could have been featured here on the StitchUp…
I singled Stacey out because I thought what she has going on here is difficult to do and, minus the pocket clutter, she is pulling this look off quite well. I’m talking about the monochromatic palette here. To be honest, it’s a pretty daring way to go, especially with such muted tone like the tans worn here.
It seems as though Stacey makes it more about the patterns and textures than anything. The structured corduroy of the pant juxtaposes the soft fluffy knit of the cardigan well. Then the use of black shirt to frame the face and make a break between skintone and tan is really well done.
The footwear, being black, ties the look together. It completes a pattern, and the print on the shoes brings more interest to the look.

Nice! I want those shoes so bad.

I know not everyone wants to carry a purse around but a cute handbag would complete this look and take care of the ‘pocket clutter’. I’m not keen on the pants (are they pants?) but the shoes are super cute!

I WANT THOSE SHOES!!!

Not a fan. I know purses can be a drag, but filling your pockets looks a little odd, especially in such a light coloured cardigan. And the shoes may be okay for halloween. That’s about it.

I don’t get it. With the exception of the shoes and leggings – looks like something Joey Smallwood would have worn…like you would!

Hey guys!
Stacey here, just wanted to let you guys know that I agree with everything you all are saying! My shoes rock, I have mad pocket clutter, my hair is also a grease hive! But that’s just me rolling out of bed!

this is the best acceptance of criticism i have ever seen. i am in awe.

So, being the photographer you couldn’t ask one of her many friends to hold on to her rediculous pocket junk? I know you capture raw street wear, but if you like her outfit why not make her look as good as possible?

very true. a lot of times i miss things like that because i am in a rush to try to get the shots without inconveniencing the subject too much too.
i need to start taking a step back and keeping an eye out for that stuff.

maybe you could have offered the guy from last week your socks. for such a meticulously put together outfit I can’t believe he wore bare feet with lace up shoes on purpose. oy vey.
i like today’s feature though. although I’m amazed that the fashion world hasn’t solved the problem of where to stash the iphone.

Are those pants horse riding pants?
Sure looks like it.

hmm no way! his lack of socks really finished the look. totally a common thing to see on street blogs from larger cities and particularly euro ones! :)

Really? I could understand if it was a loafer or even a closed toe sandal but if it’s big in Japan then I guess I’m just a fashion philistine.

People shouldn’t wear clothes the exact same colour as their skin. A nice blue burqa would look better.

Looks crap on them too.

Do you have tattoos on your feet?
September 15th, 2012 at 4:06 am
Yes!
And they are NOT corduroy! I wish this blog guy would at least read up on some basic fashion stuff like materials if he’s going to write a fashion blog. Even just look in a magazine or something. I’m not asking for anna wintour stuff here. Just for him to take note of some of the stuff that other different kinds of people might find aesthetically pleasing too.

Hey Tinny
i appreciate your sentiment, but as i’ve stated before, this is not a fashion blog – its about people who display a bit of playfulness in personal style, not necessarily what is or is not fashionable.
i’ve never claimed to be any kind of fashion expert. I have always been an appreciator of fashion, clothing, and style – but to be honest i try to look at this from a bit outsiders perspective. I’m more of a people watcher than anything. I appreciate styles of all kinds and again, if you look back through the past two years of posts i try to highlight styles of all kinds – i tend to want to focus more on people who are trying things that might be outside of the norm, but again, there are some posts that are more straight laced.
I do read style blogs i welcome suggestions of some you might think i should take a look at.
I apologize, but from close up those pants DO look like corduroy – i neglected to ask if they actually where. i just like the way she was wearing them.
Ultimately i’m trying to create a dialog about personal style here. if you dont like something, or if i’ve screwed something up, let me and the other commenters know what i’ve gotten wrong, lend to a conversation instead of getting (seemingly) frustrated with me because you think i should be something that i am not.
I’m glad you enjoy’d this week’s subject though (September 14, 2012). If you’d like to, you can contact me directly with any other concerns, feel free.
