Streetwalker: Do a Double Take

by Britt Aboutaleb

Streetwalker Jessica Vogue.JPG Jessica, 24, fashion journalist

Got Her: Outside the Natural History Museum in South Kensington.

Stalked Her: Because we were walking behind her and noticed multiple heads turning - we had to see what they were looking at.

Shot Her: Because her outfit was indeed worthy of a head turn.

She Says: “My skirt’s practically vintage H&M. The t-shirt’s Marc Jacobs, from New York, and I love this cardigan - it’s vintage.”

We Say: Sometimes, it’s just nice to see an easily chic girl amongst the trying-too-hard fashion folk.

She looks so young!!

"It's vintage."
The most overused phrase in fashion!

the skirt isn't vintage H&M.. that was just from last year!

She's adorable, but when girls like that say "vintage" I always assume they mean either "old", "swapped it for another skirt with my friend" or "used".

For example, right now I'm wearing a "vintage" shirt from Old Navy, and my "vintage" Adidas.

that's actually a HM cardigan from this year. It was seen all over the place. She is kinda lying.

Ummmmmmmmm, not liking it at all. Black, navy, shiny, matte, nothing matching. It looks like a weekend running errands look, not very polished or professional.

Haha yeah I was just about to say the cardigan isn't vintage--it's H&M from this spring/summer. But anyways, I love the entire ensemble.

Totally agree with guest #5

I have to agree with Guest #11. If I hear "It's vintage!" one more time, I may scream.

Also, these people who were looking at her? Did they look very sad and sympathetic? Bcause the poor thing is quite obviously blind. I want to set up a charity fund for her.

not trying to hard? She looks like a girl who is trying really hard to be different.

i like the fact that shes not wearing a purely designer outfit completely unattainable by the average bank account.

cute:)

i wish we could see the shoes more! From what is shown, they appear to put the whole look together, i think she looks adorable!

When she says "vintage" she probably means the style, not the actual item - meaning that it's a classic style, or a a classic part of those particular collections.

I'm thinking the term is used differently in the UK than it is here. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt on this one.
