Streetwalker: Rodeo? Prison? Nope, Parsons.

Got Her: In front of the Parsons building on 5th Ave
Stalked Her: Because we couldn’t believe we saw a leather fringe jacket on a girl instead of a cowboy. To be honest, we stopped her because we were confused.
Shot Her: Because upon closer inspection, her sunglasses were great, the shoes were cool, and we had to reach out our hands to touch her shirt.
She Says: “When I like something I wear it everyday. I pick key pieces for each season and I get obsessed with them and only wear that. I fell in love with this shirt because the fabric was so soft. When I asked the designer how she did it, she said it was because she got the materials from a prison!”
We Say: Um, ok (But yes, the shirt did in fact feel incredible.)

I NEED that jacket!
I completely agree with her about only buying pieces you love and then wearing them to death and think she looks like a total badass doing so.
rodeo, prison, parsons… same thing. i speak from experience.
Love her jacket, so great. But dear god that shirt is awful. It better be super soft.
I think she stole my grandmother’s jacket from the 60′s! (which I actually still have, and wear to the Western Stock Show every year, of course!)
omg i am obsessed with her sunglasses..does anyone know where i can get a pair!!
is that the girl that does piaarrobio.com?
Liking the outfit but EVERYTHING looks vintage. The shoes- scuffed, the jeans- ripped, the tshirt- worn and the jacket’s missing buttons! I’d mix in a few newer pieces (maybe a chunky heel in a bold color) to freshen it up.
That girl has the fiercest fucking attitude ever. She’s amazing.
I’m diggin this chick’s style. And she’s not a hipster! See, uniqueness is nice :)
I love her look! It’s very KingsofLeon, no?
I’d say a cooled up Sloane from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
Maybe its just the jacket?
“I’d mix in a few newer pieces (maybe a chunky heel in a bold color) to freshen it up.”
God no! Her boots tie it all together. A chunky “bold” colored heel would be terribly ill matched. This outfit is perfect as is.
You’re so right. The shoes a esential to complete this drop-dead gorgeous outfit.
