Styles from the Streets

These two off-the-street people managed to make me glance twice and even whip out my blackberry for a snapshot of their outfits, here's why:

This man's outfit caught my attention today by how he was able to incorporate various styles and throw them together effortlessly to make a relatively fashion forward outfit. He wore a navy blue prep blazer decorated with random pins of his choosing with a crisp white shirt emphasized by a striped tie. On the bottom he wore linen shorts with a forest green hue that matched that of his "New York cab driver" hat, while his shoes (which unfortunately do not show in this picture) were worn in black cowboy boots. The overall appearance was preppy, laid back, and managed to combine many trends I have been seeing.

The woman pictured to the right reminded me of Gossip Girl's Serena, whose style is so easily thrown together and friendly that you cannot help but like her instantaneously. This woman wore a white shirt with a beautiful, beaded vest, a red patent leather handbag, a bright yellow skirt, flats, and a strawberry bandana that tied together the red bag and black vest.

My cellphone shots do not serve these outfits justice, but suffice to say the colors, accessories, and random pieces used by these two were worth noting.
