Sidewalk Style: Pencil It In
For this week’s Sidewalk Style, we stopped an events director with a penchant for ultra-feminine wear—and Target bags.
By
Rachel Cothran
Emily Jarmuth, 29
Events Director, Mie N Yu
What she’s wearing: Arden B high-waisted pencil skirt (with thin belt), Express jacket, and Anya Hindmarch for Target bag.
That bag looks way more expensive that I’m sure it was.
“It was like $50. I have a Target right across from my house, so I go as soon as the designer collections come out so I can get the good stuff. This was the last one there.”
Are the shoes comfortable?
“They’re not the best fit, but I have my Zara flats right here in my bag.”
How would you describe your style?
“Feminine, definitely. I’m very girly girl, and I like for my shoes and bag to match. I love dresses. I’m big into high-waisted skirts with belts. I love getting dressed in the morning—I need like two hours!”
Any staples?
“Sheath dresses. I love a tailored look, and it’s easy to change the look with jackets and accessories.”
Where do you like to shop?
“With what I do, I don’t have a lot of time to go bargain hunting. Because I work in Georgetown, I do a lot of my shopping there. I like Bebe, Arden B, Guess, and Steve Madden for shoes in that in-between price range. BCBG is my favorite place to splurge. Every year, I buy a new dress for the Rammy Awards, usually from there. The theme this year was bling, so I wore a lot of gold.
And Target, clearly.
“They have a great Victoria’s Secret knockoff line in the lingerie department. I think it’s better quality than the real thing!”
Rachel says:
I really liked a lot of the styles from the Anya Hindmarch for Target collection but never made it to my local store to check out the quality. (Quick background: Hindmarch is a London-based designer; lots of people now know her name because of her “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” tote, which quickly became a gotta-have-it item). I give this bag pretty high marks for both sturdiness and eye-pleasing design, so now I’m extra excited for the upcoming Hayden-Harnett collaboration (love the black clutch, hobo, chain-mail bag, and that adorable umbrella!).

Currently it appears like Drupal is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

Superb blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Cheers!

One thing I have actually noticed is always that there are plenty of fallacies regarding the financial institutions intentions whenever talking about foreclosures. One myth in particular is the bank prefers to have your house. The lending company wants your hard earned dollars, not your house. They want the bucks they lent you with interest. Preventing the bank will draw some sort of foreclosed summary. Thanks for your article.

Thanks for your fascinating article. One other problem is that mesothelioma is generally attributable to the inhalation of materials from mesothelioma, which is a very toxic material. It really is commonly noticed among laborers in the structure industry who definitely have long contact with asbestos. It is caused by residing in asbestos protected buildings for long periods of time, Genetic makeup plays a huge role, and some consumers are more vulnerable for the risk than others.

At first glance, I thought this photo was from an advertisement with a professional model! Very well put-together look.

Wearing tights which are the same color as your skirt elongates the leg; I’m not sure about a "contrasting color" for hosiery and shoes...if you can pull it off, more power to you. The wrinkled skirt isn’t great, but be fair-- who still looks freshly pressed when they’re leaving work?
It’s so odd that she looks like she mixed black and brown when she hadn’t...camera issues?
Bottom line: I think she is stylish. She looks lovely. :)

I think she looks great. Well put together and the jacket is Hot! Great find on the bag too.

I think she looks great. Agree with a few tweaks, but after a long day at work, it’s tough to look like you just walked out of the house. :)
Posted by: Jenn, Nov 18, 2008 08:36:07 AM
She looks great. Very age and job appropriate.

Just so everyone knows, Emily was wearing all black here! It does show up as if she’s wearing brown/ dark purple tights and a skirt though.
Posted by: Rachel, Nov 18, 2008 08:03:57 AM
The peep-toe with tights look is actually all over catalogues and magazines. I don’t really get it either - the seems on tights that go right over toes kind of creep me out - but she’s not the first one! I love how she’s able to pull off mixing black and brown. I’m always too afraid to try it.
Posted by: Emma, Nov 18, 2008 07:42:37 AM
I agree with Brooke, I think the shoes-tights should be in one color, skirt in another. But I do like open toes with tights. I have a feeling that the top under the jacket is probably better for the skirt as well. Less boxy.
Posted by: Dee, Nov 18, 2008 07:40:15 AM
This look could be really cute if she just tweaked a few things about it. One, get an iron. Two - open toed shoes with tights? No! She should be wearing leather round toe pumps. And the tights should be on a contrasting color, not the same color as her skirt.
