What I'm Wearing: ASOS Sunglasses, Vintage Fur Gilet, Vintage Silk Feather Blouse, Vintage White Pleated Maxi, Def-Shop Beige Suede Boots, ASOS Cuffs & Stylesofia Satchel 
Fashion is (obviously) something I spent a lot of time thinking about- and with these thoughts come observation. I love to watch the people on the streets of this city, examining how they wear what they wear. And within Fashion, lies thousands of small nuances that always strike me as so beautiful. For example, let's start with how the pleats of this maxi fall and flutter at my feet, how the fabric moves in sync with my body. Or the bashful way a man will awkwardly clutch the straps of his woman's handbag -when she asks him to hold it for her. And the proud, tentative strides a woman will take when she takes her new shoes out for a spin. The loving way in which old women clasp at the lapels of their age-old floor length fur coats. Or the teenager's first mini skirt- uncomfortably strutting around, clocking every male glance that lands on her. I could go on and on here, but fashion, in one way or another has some significance to everyone, and I love to spot the meaning that something as simple as clothing has to the strangers I see on the streets. Because Fashion is a choice we make everyday of our lives, and regardless of whether a person is "fashionable" or not, getting dressed will forever be a ritual for all of us. Anyway, enough sartorial philosophy for one day, more tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

I really loved reading your thoughts on the intricacies of the way fashion influences our lives. How true that the littlest details are often the most precious, and pieces of clothing can contribute to beautiful moments.
Love this outfit. x

Love what you've written here, it's so true. I remember getting my first pair of high heels and feeling like I'd reached a major milestone in life! Even things like bothering to get dressed for a hungover slob day can have the hugest impact on your mood. Anyway, lovely outfit, that gilet is beautiful, I'm gutted it's vintage xx
I agree with you on your philosophy! :D
I love to dress up and I love to dress up my daughter.
We do it all the time, every day twice a day :)
Fashion is something that you can play with as much as you can and nobody should say if somebody has or doesn't have style. Even if somebody is horribly dressed up in our opinion it's still their style and the way how they express themselves.

loving your philosophy on fashion.. it is everywhere.. it represents our personality, the way we dress, choose colors and translate ourselves with clothes, accessories or that tiny statement earring one always distinctively wears.. it is art...
marvelous outfit btw.. stay cool!
i love your writing, you look beautiful.

I really like your personal style... and i like your outfit. One thing that i really love in your blog is that it feels real, not phony... it's really you... your style, your taste in fashion... and i agree with you: although it's really trendy to like fashion nowadays, we'll always will have to dress ourselves and it will always be a form of expression... wether it's fashionable or not. Kisses
I love the feather blouse, I want to try and wear more vintage :)x
I love your outfit!

Strange, I just finished writing a paper on this very subject with my conclusion being that everyone is a participant in the sartorial world. Great shoes! =)

Your words ring so true in my ears, I tell people the exact same thing day in and day out. My dream would be to sit in coffee bars and on street corners just watching and observing people's habits and outfit choices. Understanding peoples identities and thoughts would be a gift to master, why they are drawn to certain shapes and silhouettes, what they hope to achieve through their dressing or what fashion undeniably means to "them". Well just a thought anyway...
Love the skirt and yes the pleats are stunning... Great post!! Thanks for sgharing :)
Gorgeous blouse! And I love your fashion observations :)

Very wise and beautiful words.
Everything you said makes sense. I have lived in some of the fashion capitals of the world but Paris is certainly my favourite for style spotting.
Really nice words! You're right!

i like all of the layering here and the shoes. i adore the tones in this look as well.
