on the street: the drawstring dress

IMG_4076-mod

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.

on the street: rain boots (mostly)

I love the rain. Especially when I have my rain boots on.

I liked the accent of neon pink on these Air Jordans worn with all black.

Bricks look so good in the rain. And anything set against them, it seems.

Bright things look brighter. Marathon runners everywhere.

Mother-son matching. Couldn’t see if the baby was wearing teeny Hunters. One can only hope.

It’s a little monotonous how many people wear black rain boots. But contrasting liners help.

I mean, at least they aren’t black.

In a sea of black and brown, I saw these red boots several blocks away.

Yes to this whole scenario.

Two-tone with tweed. More tweed is needed, I am thinking.

My rain boots (Kamik).
