Street fashion, 2011-style!

Another year, another summer... and occasionally I remember to take my camera with me, to see what's going on style-wise on the streets.

Here are the three looks very recently snapped when I was out and about.  As it so happens, all were taken either at the bus stop, in the subway or on the bus.  Does this mean environmentally-conscious transit users are also more stylish than other people? 


What I like about the first look is the sheer simplicity.  This lady has on a white linen summer dress and everything else she's wearing is fawn: purse, jacket and shoes.  On some people, this combination would look rather blah but, because of her coloring,  she's able to pull it off to great effect. 

The second young lady I snapped on the bus.  Her look is also very effective because she essentially is wearing two colors.  She has on a navy blue top and - somewhat faded - navy blue jeans, yellow ballet flats and a very smart yellow satchel-style purse.  Her headband is also a light yellow color. 

The third lady almost got away from me.  But I did manage to get a snap as she raced up the escalator.  She was quite tall, so her longer leg helped her move more quickly than some of the rest of us.  her outfit was also very simple and very effective.  I had a chance to look at her close up in the subway car; her gold necklace matched her gold colored sandals, she had on a chocolate brown dress and carried a bright pink purse.

What's interesting about these looks is that none of the items were particularly expensive and probably most of the items were things the wearer has had for some time. 

If I remember to take my camera out and about more often, I'll post more "sightings" on a future blog. in the meantime, keep stylin'!
