The Collared Shirt

One of my favourite pictures from the Sartorialist site is the one below shot in Delhi.

I think it's the shirt that does it for me for it reminds me of young Indian girls a few decades back who wore the buttoned up collared shirt with a skirt and preferably pigtails done up with ribbons. Why this is on the Sartorialist is of course because along with the rest of the outfit it is a contemporary interpretation of the shirt-and one that is very well done.

Judging by the pictures on flickr few girls wear the skirt-blouse these days though I did spot this charming picture (also below) on the site.

And here is another one that incorporates the shirt into a dress inspired by Kahlo. Here simply because all things Kahlo are generally aesthetic.
