Nikki - S. Congress Ave., Austin [SxSW]

nikki - sxsw austin street fashion style
"I got it at a second hand market in Shanghai. I came here with some bands (but am not in a band)."

I actually chased Nikki down, because - wow! That gold and orange cape is daring and colorful and broadcasts personal style.

I believe she said these were Converse from Shanghai. The pattern reminds me of ladybugs.

Sherry - S. Congress Ave., Austin [SxSW]

sherryTX - sxsw austin street fashion style
"Texas."

I've met Sherry before, at Schmidt's in the Mission District of SF. She recognized me because I was talking to her dinner companion, someone I worked with once, about fashionist. She was at SxSW filming a campaign for Converse, but this campaign was based in Shanghai. Which means, she also has a rad job. She was dressed weather perfect for Austin. Bloomer shorts! T-shirt with a thin hoodie layer! Practical! Yet not boring!

"My philosophy in general. Simple. Stuff that fits and feels good."

Relaxed gray and black, denim and cotton, not skinny (jeans), yet these clothes fit him well.

Jackie - Hotel San Jose, Austin [SxSW]

jackiesj - street fashion style austin sxsw
"This outfit is inspired by wanting to be comfortable, but put together after a night out."

Pulling off an outfit has as much to do with your bearing as it does the fit and color of the outfit itself. Jackie looks great in this low-key on top and graphic on bottom outfit. Also? Great hair.

Love these rings, but especially enamored with how she stacks these thin gold rings of varying shapes.

Holly - Trinity Street, Austin [SxSW]

hollyburns - austin sxswi street fashion style
"I guess colors that work well together. Bright pops of color. Things that are easy to pull on in one go. A dress, you don't have to think about it, you just pull it on."

Holly is the lovely writer behind Nothing But Bonfires, before this she was regaling me with stories of her working relationship with the Travelocity Gnome. Besides her prowess with the pen, Holly manages to look put together and colorful every time I run into here (which, granted, isn't often in SF). Here she wears a lovely tomato-y colored dress that looks like it travels well. And for added pow, she has on this great beaded necklace.

Lisa - W. 3rd St., Austin [TxSCC]

lisaatx - austin street fashion txscc style
"This outfit is largely inspired by spring and since we're at austin ballet, I wanted to do something that is very vintage inspired and very feminine."

As anyone who knows me in in real life will attest, the pull of tulle and pink is strong. Here Lisa manages to find a vintage tutu-esque dress (pretty sure my inability to easily find a vintage tutu that fits, is what delays me).

Amazing gold heels to match the belt.

Jeri Lynn - W. 3rd St., Austin [TxSCC]

reddress - austin txscc street fashion style
"I like vintage."

Jeri Lynn is four months pregnant and looking amazing in this vintage red polka dot dress with an elastic waistband to stretch where she needs it. Like how her self designed jewelry drapes breezily on her frame. Perfect.

Great yellow platform sandals.

Heather - W. 3rd St., Austin [TxSCC]

redpattern - austin txscc street fashion style
"Definitely, a lot of it is other bloggers. And also finding something that is a good fit for both function and fashion. I feel way more comfortable in skirts and dresses than in pants. So I never wear pants."

Heather embraces her inner cupcake. Great red polka dot dress, with a cluster dot pattern. I am in love with this navy cardigan with a crochet collar.

Chris - S. Congress Ave., Austin [SxSW]

chrisatx - sxsw austin street fashion style
"Probably everything I've ever seen and felt, up until now."

I am pleasingly intrigued and visually tickled when people match their outfits so deliberately. Red shades, red button up, and red on his shoes. Does he have a blue version, a green version, a yellow version? Or is this a red only thing?

mssinglemama - sxsw street fashion style
"I'm actually from Columbus, Ohio, but I actually used to live in Texas, so I can never lose the boots. So I always wear boots with just about everything. And comfort!"

Cute dress.

Cowboy boots.

Jenna and Blair - S. Congress Ave., Austin (Quick Shots) [SxSW]

Jenna: "Basically I'm going for the casual funky look. I kind of wanted to mix a little vintage with designer and Forever21, just a little bit of everything. And just comfort. We're twins, so when we get ready, we just try not to wear the same thing, but we frequently have on the same colors."
Blair: "I guess what inspires my style is moreso, just... Art, magazines, and movies. I pay attention to the Vogue fashion trends."
