I've often dabbled in a read here and there of The Sartorialist, but I just spent this morning looking back over all the archives of top fashion blogger, Scott Schuman.
It dawned on me how amazing he is. He sees fashion and inspiration, in places and on people that I and most other people wouldn't necessarily. Take for example a close up picture of an old lady, to look at her straight away.. nothing special, a great picture, well taken but from a fashion point of view.. nothing. I then read the blurb underneath it and start to understand a bit more, the lady, some would say uncharacteristically for someone a bit older, has glittered herself up, not only does she have it on her cheeks but she has it on her earlobes too. I love it, I think I would class this lady as eccentric.. something that I desperately want to be when I grow up because I think it's wonderful! But Scott Schuman describes her as 'chic' the one word I would never have called her but when made to think about I would kind of agree.
The Sartorialist is such an inspirational blog (entirely the idea of it!) I recommend it to anyone, in any business and in any walk of life. To see people on there that you wouldn't normally look twice at in the street and to study their picture and see all the little things that make them different and special and in some cases make them 'fashion' has made me re-think a few things about myself and the way I perceive people... now what on earth am I going to wear today?!!!
