Lauren Dresser, furniture saleswoman at Room and Board (note her last name!)
Got her: Strolling down Mercer St. near Fanelli’s Cafe
Stalked her: Because we were feeling some seaside nostalgia…
Shot her: Because she worked two trends – nautical and high-waisted – and
erred on the side of elegant, as opposed to looking too trendy, too scary, or literally about to set sail.
She says: “These pants are from Viktor and Rolf, and the top was a present from a friend. Today is definitely very ‘sailor girl,’ but I always use a lady-like approach with my outfits.”
We say: (Stars) and stripes forever.

I agree that the pants are not high-waisted (that’s a tank). I think she’d look a lot better if she lost the cropped blue and white sweater.
I like the shoes, but not with this.

Finally! Yes, definitely a literal interpretation, but you can see she’s taken care with the details (love the semi-sheer effect on the top) and she lets the pants stand out as a statement piece.
