Chelsey and Russell - Octavia Street, SF

Chelsey: "This is definitely very Zooey Deschanel, New Girl-inspired. Ahh, Indie music. I got this at X-Generation on Haight Street."
Russell: "This outfit is yacht inspired. I imagine I'm Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island."

I like her green breezy dress with the cut-outs and his yacht appropriate outfit.


Casual slip-on shoes that are perfect for afternoons wandering between stalls at a craft event.

Sonia and Brad - Octavia Street, SF

Sonia: "Comfort and casual."
Brad: "Washed-out American West."

I like that their is a worn-in classic feel to how they're both dressed.


Wedge cork sandals and brown canvas slip-ons.

Y3: "My Mom actually. This top came from my Mom."
Hwee: "Just casual weekend, casual flea market look. We just came back from the Alameda Flea Market."

Gorgeous bright yellow, green, and orange. I'm loving how these ladies are brave in their color mixing.


A look at their fantastic shoes.

Tair - Octavia Street, SF

"Basically, mostly retro. Femininity, urban femininity."

My friend Tiffany says I take pictures of "brethern"; people that dress like us (like me) and so is the case with Tair. I was wearing a graphic boyfriend cut pair of pants (so, graphic bottom) and a graphic tee as well (though I was wearing flats, not flip-flops). Tair is mixing it up with a cute modern cut tee and a skirt with a 40s print.

Tiffany and Caitlin - Octavia Street, SF

Tiffany: "Whatever floats my boat."
Caitlin: "Whatever's on sale."

I covet that chambray dress that Tiffany is sporting and color blocking (on Caitlin) is always good.

Alice - Octavia Street, SF

"I wear a uniform everyday, so anytime I get to wear something that isn't a uniform is inspiring to me."

Gorgeous blue print maxi dress.


Red flats, Miz Mooz (I think).

Darcia and Sheena - Octavia, SF

Darcia: "Music, vintage, people in my environment."
Sheena: "What inspires my style is my inner personality coming out. Shining through my clothes. Basically showing off my schwag."

Tank glamour (purple tank dress and white tank top) in the warm sun. The probability they got dressed together is slim, but I love how these outfits complement each other. One seems to be a summer version of tank dressing, another a winter version.

Marina - Octavia Street, SF

"My inspiration is vintage. Anything vintage from the 1940s to the 1990s."

Yellow touches are prevalent in her outfit, yet don't overwhelm. The result is an overall brightening of the outfit, that is quite lovely. (For reference see her earrings, the pattern in her blouse, and the piping on her shoes.)


Lovely environmental theme in her color blocked Vans.

Eliana - Octavia Street, SF

"The sun reminds me of being a kid, running around in a romper."

Cute green shortalls with clutch, round sunnies, and gladiator sandals. I also like how she keeps her hair simple and up while wearing those great half-moon earrings.


The aforementioned gladiator sandals.

Ashley - Octavia, SF

"This outfit is kind of a steampunk-goth kind of feel. I'm actually a fashion student myself and enjoy all sorts of fashion, so one day I'll wear one thing and the next day, another thing. I go to school at the Academy of Arts."

I like that her short sweet black dress has so much character with the various fabrics (lace, velvet, cotton) used to make and embellish it.


Short lace-up boots.

Sarah - Octavia Street, SF

"This outfit, actually was from London, it's from a vintage store. And I just really like comfy clothes. So, I like comfy, comfortable clothes. My mother also inspires my style too."

I love this sundress. She does a great job of accessorizing with Coco Chanel logo earrings and a belt with gold chains.


Slip-on flats.

Natalie - Octavia Street, SF

"Art."

I like how she layered the short sweater vest with a longer tunic and pulled it together with a leather belt that is a few shades darker than her boots. Today's theme is the new black, gray.


A look at her mid-calf boots.


And yesterday's theme was, of course, pairs. With the additional detail that the women all wore different types of neck scarves.

Jeff and Amber - Octavia Street, SF

Jeff: "Just comfy. Just easy."
Amber: "I don't know, I've been in the mood for suspenders lately."

I love Amber's high-waisted trousers and thick suspenders wore with heels. Jeff does a great job of wearing casual with a slim cut button down and red and blue trainers that match.


A look at their shoes.

Fumiha - Octavia Street, SF

"I don't know really... an elf? We make bags at kidstoughdotcom. "

I really like her use of color and how it echoes the colors she uses on the totes that she and her partner design (she is, of course, wearing one of her own designs). To see her product line and video of Fumiha in a hamster wheel go to Kids Tough.


Great boots worn with scrunched knee-highs and tights.
