Streetwalker: The Denim Boots

jules.jpg
Jules Kim, 27, jewelry designer

Got Her: On Elizabeth Street in the blazing heat.

Stalked Her: Because we saw the denim boots and realized the rest of the outfit was just an accessory.

Shot Her: Because it’s awfully hard for a grown woman to make a pink dress work, and this is a good example. Also, have we mentioned the boots?

She Says: “The dress is from Kate Moss for TopShop - I guess they have a bunch of the deadstock from the collection at Opening Ceremony. These boots are vintage, from Italy. Everywhere I go, I get stopped about them. And the necklace is a new piece I just made for my collection!”

We Say: Sorry, we’re still staring at the boots. Click below for a closer look.

hm...I remember susie from style bubble featuring this dress a few weeks ago...it's Topshop Unique, not Kate Moss, I believe. (and susie wore it more to my liking.)

the boots remind me of third grade.

Wow. Ew. I understand you're all about applauding personal style, but seriously, being unafraid to wear out in public the first three things you pull out of your closet in the morning is not personal style. More like situational blindness.

She is obviously poorly informed. The dress is not part of the Kate Moss for TopShop line. It is the bubblegum pink pinafore from the TopShop Unique line.

The boots are great. You were once able to see that heel on gray suede boots everywhere after 'Flashdance'

I can forgive her for the dress; she's probably so busy with the welding, the ballet practice, and the stripping that she forgets which junkie designed her frock.

Don't insult her; she may throw rocks through your window and drive away on her bicycle.

Mmm, no. It's borderline awful anyway, but the white t-shirt kills it. A grey long-sleeved shirt with the neck cut off flashdance-style *might* have pulled that mess together, but as is, I really don't find it stylish.

I can see how she would look AMAZING walking down Elizabeth, it just doesn't photograph as well... I like the way her tats are showing between the t-shirt and the dress, and that necklace is gorgeous! Did she happen to tell you what line she makes?

Those boots are bad news bears.

Just because it is "vintage" doesn't mean that it works.

Necklace is interesting though.
