Quan - Stockton Street, SF

So much good going on. Short pants, vest that contrasts with his jacket - adding a rogue quality to the outfit, the scarf that is layered and into the vest, in place of a tie. Oh Quan, if I was a dude, I'd dress like you.

Great classic black wingtips.

Nicola - Stockton Street, SF


"I love jumpsuits. I have a jumpsuit collection actually. Things that inspire me? I love the 70s and bright colors."

A vision in a golden hour glow of peach, Wayfarers and platforms.


Really great platform sandals.

Bryanna - Stockton Street, SF


"I guess having timelessness with my look, having everything match and being cohesive."

A great coat, feather headband and lovely shoes with thigh-high stockings. This is a great not yet warm, but still Spring outfit. (And she looks wonderful.)


Her lovely feather headband, a photo that the generous Maggie Mason took for me (because Bryanna is tall and I am not).


A nice leather bag.


Gorgeous wingtip oxfords.

Avienne - Stockton Street, SF


"I definitely try to be kind of mature. I like to be modest, but fashionable. Like I feel covered, but at the same time cute, so I don't like to feel that I have to be revealing to be fashionable."

I like the proportions on her outfit. The black top and shorts extend out a seemingly uniform amount from her denim jacket. There's a nice visual symmetry.


Nice t-strap Mary Janes and lace-like stockings.

Alicia and Emett - Stockton Street, SF


Alicia: "Traveling, we spent the whole night on the bus from down south (Orange)."
Emett: "Expense, I think it cost like $1.50 (for the whole outfit)."

Sometimes (most times), I take people's pictures because I like the way they carry themselves in the world, even if it may not be evident to others why I find them stylish. They wear or carry items that make them standout, like Alicia's necklace or Emett's hat or their red suitcase.


Lovely vintage suitcase.


Keds and Converse - classic.

Ashton and Jamie - Stockton Street, SF


Ashton: "Comfort, the weather for the sun dress and the boots are comfortable."
Jamie: "Comfort and safari style."

These Salt Lake City visitors look great with their sun dresses, matching glass pendants, big sunnies and cool shoes.


I *heart* Ashton's denim boots, they look so very fabulous and Jamie's animal print flats are lovely.

Katie - Stockton Street, SF


"Nothing really. I just put it together this morning. I didn't know what else to wear. I like to put together colors that really go with neutral colors."

Lovely color mixing with an element of sexy via her patent red peep toes.


Those sexy red peep toes.

Elizabeth - Stockton Street, SF


"Pretty much comfort and a little bit quirky city life that goes on."

I like her chunky cardigan worn with a denim chambray dress. I'm glad she wore an interesting belt to bring in the silhouette of the A-line dress.


Very cute clutch in vintage fabric.


A look at her boots.

Margarita - Stockton Street, SF


"My style is inspired by fairies and mermaids and (other) fantastic creatures."

I'm enamored of sporty comfort and pink tights, mostly pink tights though.


A look at her gorgeous suede platforms.

Adriana - Stockton Street, SF


"Honestly its how I feel on the day. So if I'm feeling moody, maybe I'll wear some darker colors, or if I'm happy... Being in the City, the weather affects it a lot, if I'm gonna wear a heavy coat or not. Also, I think fashion is who you are."

Continuing my day's theme and National Wear Red Day, Adriana is wearing a very equestrian-esque outfit.


Boots complete her look.

Bilger- Stockton Street, SF


"Nothing in particular, I just like it [this outfit]."

I like the silhouette of her red jacket. Also, did you know today is National Wear Red Day? And, not coincidentally, today's theme.


Her DKNY handbag.


A look at her trainers.

Kate - Stockton Street, SF


"I like mixing designer pieces with vintage pieces."

I like the fabric of her dress and how she wears it with great accessories like her headband, belt and green bag.


A closeup of her buckle.


A look at her boots.

Holly and Kurt - Stockton Street, SF


Holly: "We inspired our outfits. He inspired my outfit. I got dressed first though."
Kurt: "She inspired my outfit. But I dressed her."

I love humor in clothes. Walking around SF, I usually encounter black upon black, so it was nice to come upon Holly and Kurt who seemed to be dressed in fully realized outfits from 1984. They seemed perfect for a day of shopping in Union Square.


Their shoes give their modern sensibilities away. Holly is wearing a lovely pair of modern huaraches, which a bit more delicate than their predecessors. And Kurt is wearing a pair of monk strap dress shoes, I think he'd wear men's tassel moccasins if he was dated.

Cory - Stockton Street, SF


"This is my Gucci work uniform, but I accessorize it to make it my own. I wear my belt high waisted rather than through the loops of my pants. I layer this little YSL sweater over it, which isn't our uniform, but it's brown so no one knows. I think accessories make everything."

I have a weakness for non-black monochromatic outfits. When I spotted the glint of her bracelets, I actually crossed the street to ask if I could take her photo. I love the way she accessorizes with the high waisted thin belt, those bracelets and her very cool tote.
