I was thinking that the proportions with the skirted shorts and fitted jacket work particularly well here -- there are a few (only a few ) fits of yours in which sometimes the boots look overly large, or not sufficiently large, in contrast to your twig-like legs.
JSebbe: perfect use of the Harden cap here!
Flux: I can attest that she is as gorgeous in person as she is in her photos. I remember reading that you'd special ordered your Guidis. May I ask why you needed a special order, or if there was a particular part of the boot that didn't work for you? I notice on the couple pairs I have, the shafts can be ridiculously narrow. I would not have been able to get mine on were it not for the fact that I inherited the family chicken legs. I wonder how many women can actually get their legs into a majority of their styles. (Oh, and how much I love the original toe and hate the new toe box, UGH.)
Finally, I forgot to thank everyone for their gracious words about my last fit - especially BSR, who is basically a fashion hero for me here. FYI: Yesterday, I wore the PH wrap skirt inside out, though technically it's not reversible. It expands the already numerous possibilities. A great buy...

If you aren't contributing your own shit to a thread which thrives on images over words – beyond waxing poetic about those who DO as you sit there in your old socks & bro sweat pants, safely out of sight – keep in mind that not even your most cleverly-opined written masterpiece outweighs in value any member's photo who inspired your rant in the first place. Because without their lead, there would be nothing for you to follow.

flux - Who cares if you do carry around mirrors to shoot guidis in the grass? I certainly appreciate the shots. Great overall look, I love the proportions that obscur piece really adds.
Eternal - Proportions as Faust mentioned are great! The geo fit is spot on. Congrats on finding it.
Merz very charismatic~~ I envy your ability to fit into early 20th century footwear. If I didn't have feet fit for Sasquash himself, I'd own some myself. Is the jacket one of Albert's collateral pieces? -I see, Linea-
i may be wrong here, but with this many good fits in a row I am fooled into thinking that some of these pieces are amazing enough to be a personal grail -- for example that linea jacket.
i forget that to me it is the person that makes the fit
wonderful pictures today...
^ those look really cool. i like the heel. seems like every contemporary take on this style (iterations by n(n) and dior spring to mind) are laden with campy details where these seem fully practical and no-nonsense
