on the street: friends with style

When I see two people out (women, men, one of each, whatever) and I want to take a picture of one of them, I often want to take a picture of the other, too. Style travels in pairs.

IMG_6257I actually ran to get ahead of these women to capture them, I liked their looks so much. In one you get a clear snapshot of beautifully executed individual style, and in the other a pitch-perfect interpretation of current trends. Both looks are great, but put them side by side and call them friends and I say they get even better.

I’m reminded of these two women from the spring, who I keep thinking back to as perfect examples how great it can be when you simply combine whatever you want, whatever you love.

IMG_2857The effect is, in part, that they look like they enjoy getting dressed. If this effect can be achieved, no matter what someone is wearing, no matter what other effects might be in play, I can usually enjoy the result, too.

on the street: the drawstring dress

I love this look. A dark yet vividly blue drawstring dress with the structure of buttons and a collar combined with the softness of a light and flexible fabric. A slouchy, unembellished tan leather bag. A watch the only accent (it is too hot for accents anyway). I like isolating accessories like this, such that they aren’t lost in a crowd. It also gives a clean, pared, sometimes even masculine effect that I like.

And then I saw these stunning flowers.

Anybody know what they are called?
