The Amazing Technicolor Dream Dress

This is an extremely fun outfit. The maxi dress has an authentic cut, but the horizontal stripes of many colors make it youthful and eye-catching. The red cardigan, worn over the dress, matches the red stripes in the hips and the bust, creating a unified look. The sunglasses, as well, have red arms with go with both garments. The nude flats with black contrast toes, while not lacking in style, do well to not take away from the power of the dress. The neon watch is a great accessory and goes with the overall fun look of the ensemble.

Hipster Formal

This is an interesting and contemporary take on business casual dress. This individual wears a pair of capri length slacks, with a blue and pink plaid pattern, worn above a pair of leather loafers. Tucked into the slacks is a bright orange, collarless, button down shirt, worn underneath a tan sport coat. This individual also opts for a pair of horn rimmed sunglasses and a navy trilby hat with a red and white band around it.

 

R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.

This young woman has a very Rock n’ Roll style, with a bit of class. The black leggings are tucked into a brown pair of engineer boots. The black continues up top with a sleeveless button down shirt. The black shirt is left buttoned halfway allowing for the white tank top to show through. The American flag backpack is a fun accessory, that adds a little color to the outfit. The hairstyle is great, blunt bangs, extreme highlights and a high undercut on the sides create great lines.

 

Denim Dani

I really like this denim Bongo dress. It has a great cut to it, and works really well with her body shape. The low scoop neck is perfectly complimented by a thin gold choker. The minimal sandals are great for those warm days likely to be filling the next few months. The long sleeve, bleached denim shirt is a great addition to the dress. It adds a free spirit to the otherwise form fitting outfit as it gets caught in the passing breezes. The Gucci handbag is a nice accessory and goes well with the refined youthfulness of this ensemble.

The Formal Artist

This man looks great and carefree. He has an artsy vibe about him, especially with the long, flowing hair and beard. He wears straight leg black jeans that are tucked into the tops of his untied Converse high tops. His white linen henley goes very well with the artsy vibe, and is a great item to wear on a hot Spring or Summer day. He keeps the shirt unbuttoned, showing off his rope necklace and chest hair. To dress the outfit up he added a black blazer, which plays well with both the black jeans and white shirt.

Neutral Retro Style

While there is nothing that pops out about this outfit, it is one of, if not the best, period piece outfits I have seen. The light brown, pleated pants stay above the wedge espadrilles of a similar color, and have a very refined, yet somewhat casual appearance. The beige button up blouse is another neutral item, and goes extremely well with the pleated pants. The buttoning of the top button creates a 1960’s feel, especially when paired with the ivory, horn rimmed sunglasses.

Blue & White Just Looks Right

This is a celebrity worthy outfit. The tight blue romper has a great color and its pleated neckline looks outstanding. The sleeveless cut and short shorts make this blue number perfect for the Spring and Summer months. This young lady also accessorizes in style. All of her accessories are white including the Chanel tote, multi-strap heels and even her iPhone case. Blue and white compliment each other extremely well, and look crisp and clean together.

Three Fashionable Friends

I spotted this group of fashionable friends near Lafayette St. While I don’t know what they were talking about, their interactions seemed fun and heartfelt. They each have their own style, and it was a great treat to capture three great subjects walking side-by-side.

The guy on the right (your right) has a very casual look about him; very care free.  He wears a denim cutoff shirt, showing off his toned arms. His rust colored jeans are worn off his waist, causing them to bunch up atop the beige shoes, which remain untied.
The young lady in the center of the group has a flirty look. Her black shorts and tank have a fun look to them, which is perfect for Spring. The red blazer adds a great bold color to the outfit, and also dresses it up. A great Spring outfit for a lunch date.

The girl on the left has a very versatile outfit. This outfit can be worn to just about any type of setting, short of formal. The semi-sheer white blouse is sleeveless, allowing for comfort in the hot sun. The blouse is knotted at the waist where leaving the pleated waist of the pants visible. The wide leg is very airy and relaxed when paired with a weaved sandal. To make this outfit more formal, simply add a blazer on top.

 

 

Mark Twain Doppelganger

This post is not as much about fashion as it is about character. While I do really like the white ruffled shirt, bow tie and cumber bun combination, it is this man’s character and style that dominate the images. He looks like a writer, which could be the reason why I associated him with Mark Twain or maybe just because he looks like him. His worn leather bag looks like it could be holding a manuscript for the next great American novel.  I do also like how the the beige jacket (occupy button on lapel, and all) stands away from the white shirt creating a little contrast in the outfit.

Young, Youthful & Lucky

It was a great Spring weekend in New York, and this young lady took full advantage of it. Her strapless Betsey Johnson dress, is adorned with small drawings of lucky charms. The dress has a fun, youthful cut, which is perfect for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend. She paired the dress with black wingtip flats, creating a retro look. The simple gold necklace and charm is the perfect accessory to dress up the neckline without taking away from the dress. The two Mini Mouse style buns are very youthful and add to the fun look of the outfit.
