In the past few years, the rise of street style photos during fashion week has risen to such prominence that season after season I'm equally parts excited to see what's sashaying down the runway as I am to see what Christine Centenera and Taylor Tomasi Hill are wearing. These photos provide a rare glimpse into the world of fashion superpowers and the one thing that binds all these photos together is the common look of nonchalance. They never seem to be fazed by their surroundings or by the outfit next to theirs; even if its Anna Dello Russo all bedazzled out in as chandelier. That's probably why I love this picture, it's comforting to know that the unfazed are susceptible to moments of weakness too.
Because, if I was at fashion week. I would be so uncomfortably amazed and indefinitely embarrassed that I couldn't pick my jaw up from the ground. I guess I'll just have to drag it around with me. I think this is what normal teenage girls feel feel about One Direction.

Rush, rush, rush!
I am so enamored by the different aspects at play here. It's a chic outfit without any hints of the "how-many-trends-can-I-squeeze-into-one-outfit" game that so many streetstylers seem to play these days- but yet, it's so now even with all the 90s influences. It's a simple outfit that you can throw together from the items in your own closet- tanned legs are a must, not an option.
This outfit makes me rethink why I've been hiding my Joe's Jeans dungaree until warmer weather. I think it's time I layered it over a long tee and tie a (p)leather jacket around my waist. I still have qualms about ruining perfectly good leather. But rest assured, if this experiment fails I will refrain from contaminating my blog and your eyes with any photographic evidence. You can sleep easy with only this image in your mind.
Truthfully, I think my favourite aspect of this photo is the voyeuristic nature. Here she is, running out after a show, dodging the parked Mercedes and hoping that the white van/taxi/blurred object on the right will stop for her. Perhaps, she's renacting a modern day fairy tale. We don't know if her other shoe is still on. She could be running away from a brunch ball, needing to get back to the office before the evil step-editor does. Who knows?
