The Baroness

I was thumbing through an old book on my shelf and stumbled upon this photograph of a strikingly lovely woman. Something about her easy, elegant style caught my attention. The scene of the photograph is very pared down and simple but I think a lot can be understood in the minutia of the details. She looks so modern. She looks so happy and relaxed. The relaxed look of privilege, I think.

Even her dog seems happy and relaxed. Tail wagging.

Upon closer inspection, you can see that her tunic and her amazing matching gray boots are all suede. The touch of dark gray silk scarf at her neck completes the outfit.

I’m in love with the look. A modern classic. Great inspiration for fall. The color story and the leggings with over the knee boots… it couldn’t be more.. well, now.

I look at the subtitle next to the picture. Pauline de Rothschild at age 53 in 1963.
