Heather - 18th Street, SF (Barely Legal Microhood)

"I guess sort of 80s rocker with the cultural vibe and color. I like color a lot."

Love her haircut and those colors on her blouse that she has so successfully matched with the color of her make-up.


These strappy sandals are really lovely.

Halleli - Treat Street, SF (Barely Legal Microhood)

"Just vintage stuff that I love. You know, this is actually an Israeli designer. I'm from Israel, so you know... It's a designer I really like, so I buy a lot of her stuff. The designer is Shuli."

Great knit mini-dress with darling heart print. The neck covering/collar is also a hood.


Sturdy brown suede boots.

Emily - Alamo Square, SF

"I'm inspired by people who make their own clothes and who make new clothes look old or refurbish vintage tops like this one (I just bought it right down there from my friend, Sarah) And like finding pieces like these shoes (like these were $5). This (necklace) is actually a local designer too, I can't remember who, they sell it at Indie Mart. So yeah, more expensive pieces mixed with $5 pieces."

Love her simple short black dress and how she accessorizes with a long pendant necklace and that feather printed crop top.


Pilgrim-esque shoes with buckles.

Amber - 18th Street, SF (Barely Legal Microhood)

"Oh gosh. I would say color and lack of money."

70s floral house dress spruced up by fuchsia tights and orthopedic shoes.


Aforementioned orthopedic shoes.

Nicole - Alamo Square, SF

"I take from a lot of old and make new from it. It's all about being aware of everything you see and mixing and matching. Nothing ever goes out of style, especially in this era when all different pieces can be meshed into one thing."

Nicole is a fashionist alumni from 2007. Here she wears a very short 70s-era vintage polyester dress, a waffle pattern sweater, and brown tights to make it all decent.


Great brown suede/leather oxfords.

Ashley - Alamo Square, SF

"Well I just got the dress and I haven't worn it yet. So I guess I'm kind of excited for San Francisco summer. I moved here from the east coast a year ago, so yeah I guess it's just the San Francisco weather. Because it is constantly layering and then taking off layers. That really inspires my style, living here now."

Beautiful white crochet dress and colorful huarache-style sandals.


Huarache-style sandals hidden in the grass.

Artressa - Folsom Street, SF

"It just what I feel like. Anything, color, vintage, retro, thrift stores, anything..."

Besides the lens-less frames, this is an outfit that I'd wear (read: I covet this dress and those shoes). I love the striped dress made of burlap-esque fabric and the great green belt used to cinch her waist.


Love these blue suede oxfords.

Tiffany - Folsom Street, SF

"I like comfy clothes. That's why my shoes have no heels. Something really comfy, I like to be warm."

I like that her sweater and tights give an impression of perpendicular lines.


A look at her cute perforated leather lace-up shoes.

Ashley - Alamo Square, SF

"Just being reunited with clothing I haven't worn in a year and a half."

It's been awhile, but do you remember Ashley? I took her photo way back in April 2007. Since then she's graduated from college and lived in Korea. At least some things haven't changed - her love of floral dresses, colored tights, and black flats.


Aforementioned bright tights and black flats.

Courtney and Lindsey - Treat Street, SF (Barely Legal Microhood)

Courtney: "Whatever is current. I don't know."
Lindsey: "Being comfortable, but also hip or something."

Sweet patterned lavender dress in contrast with the basic black tunic, bells, and an amazing gold collar. Love how these two ladies look next to each other.


Warm summer day footwear.

Kim - 18th Street, SF (Barely Legal Microhood)

"Basically, I try to go for stuff that fits with the curves of my body and I feel that more vintage styles tend to be a little more curvy, so I kind of go with that."

Pretty patterned dress with a black ribbon at the waist worn with big sunnies, red flats and and hennaed accents.


A look at her hennaed hand.


Those red flats.

Dani - Alamo Square, SF

"This one is mostly found/ free box things. So just eclectic and what's comfortable. [In regards to this necklace:] my dad has very odd things at his house and I found this bullet and it's not alive round, so I made a necklace for it."

Flannel and lace and that diy bullet charm. Oh my! A snapshot of life in the 90s with the rosy lens of nostalgia (mine, of course).


Suede mocassins.

Courtney - Alamo Square, SF

Love her mix of country-fied plaid sundress with lace trim and the on-trend ocelot print cardigan. I've actually taken a picture of Courtney before. At that time, she wasn't living in SF, but lucky for the City's fashionist population, she has recently joined our ranks. Welcome to the City Courtney!


Wonderful lace peep toe flats.

Alfred - Alamo Square, SF

"I work at a custom clothing shop. It's in North Beach, called Al's Attire. We don't really have a website, since it's custom stuff. We do sell new ready-to-wear, like this [jacket] is off the shelf."

Great 3-button coat, with the buttons a bit higher than usual - virtually making the lapels nonexistent. I actually first spotted his fantastic plaid wool trousers (see how great that true blue line that runs through it), his shoes and then the entire outfit.


Beautiful buttery brogues.


Today's theme is Haberdash. There is still time to make plans to go this evening.

Sam - 18th Street, SF (Barely Legal Microhood)

"I guess my friends actually. A lot of street stuff. I'm really into thrifting, so I guess what I find inspires me. If I find something really cool I find a way to make it work into my outfits, basically."

I find it charming how Sam's jacket calls to mind uniformed school boys mixed with the working class fashion of late 60s/early 70s working class Britain (cuffed denim, black boots).


Slim short leather boots.
