Hair Love



This couple was first spotted by me from behind. The girl's hair shone brightly in contrast to her dark clothes and I thought to myself "I should really dye my hair that color some time in the future." I then noticed her clothes, which were quite cute. This girl is quite petite and thought the grey fleece top emphasized her petiteness since it was slightly baggy. The above-the-knee blue plaid shorts have a bit of volume as well at the cuffs and were paired with black tights and boots. Overall I thought the combination was quite adorable, and her nails matched too!

I also liked the boyfriend's outfit as well. At first glance, he seemed to be sporting a typical outfit (a neutral top with jeans and sneakers). Upon further inspection, I saw a bit of his personal style. He was not afraid to mix patterns, as his knit top had horizontal stripes on the body of the garment while the shirt underneath had a blue and white checkered pattern.

Aside from their clothes, this couple had a good energy and happy attitude which would cause people to pay attention to them regardless of what they were actually wearing!

Greyscale



Despite wearing very dark colors, this girl did not appear drab and gloomy. I think she could pull of the dark colors due to her high contrast coloring. Wearing her hair up was also a good choice, it showed off her porcelain complexion.

The black double breasted coat fit her well and the length of the sweater dress elongated her body, especially her legs. Armed with a drink from Starbucks (and maybe a new iPod or iPhone?), this girl looks ready to take winter head-on.

Grey Stripey



Grey will probably never replace black, but this look may just convince me otherwise. Everything fit well and the mid tones of grey prevented this outfit from being overly dark. I liked how the design on the sides of the shoes sort of echoed the striped pattern of the hoodie. I think some guys forget about accessorizing when coordinating their outfits. This was not the case here, an interesting razor blade necklace and black tote bag completed the look.

This is perfect casual weekend wear, it is stylish yet comfortable. Who says you need to dress like a slob whilst walking a dog? Dog owners and walkers everywhere should take note!

A very cute minature poodle named Pantone. (At least I think it is a minature poodle!)

Cool Urbaness






My eye was instantly drawn to this person due to her height (I am always envious of tall girls!) and her cool air (mainly channeled via aviators sunglasses). However, do not mistake the 'cool air' for unfriendliness, she was far from unfriendly. She was unsure of the brand of her scarf, but checked the label for me!

I liked this outfit because I think it was a good example of casual urban chic, with pieces that may not scream 'chic' individually. However, the way they contrasted made it chic... The scarf had a camo pattern, but was made out of a luxurious material. The black leather jacket was fitted, to avoid the 'biker chick' look. In addition, the long wavy slightly-wind-blown hair added an easy natural feeling to this look.

Polka Dotted





I really loved the overall look of this outfit. The black and white polka dotted dress was cute and fit this girl well. The brown belt was an interesting choice, I think most people may have used a black belt. At any rate, I think the brown belt worked and it accentuated her slim figure. What I liked best about the dress was the silhouette, it was feminine and a bit flirty without being overly revealing. I liked the purple tights she wore, this is an easy way for anyone to add some color to an outfit. The carefully styled hair and friendly dimpled smile just added to the charming look of this outfit.
