My 15 Minutes

The "street style" scene isn't quite as exciting in San Francisco as it is in Fashion-centric cities like New York and Paris. So, when I had my first (and only) run-in with a street style photographer a year ago,  I was pretty excited. I had totally forgotten about these photos until a coworker, Googled me and pulled up one of the pictures. It's no Sartorialist shot, but being a San Franciscan without access to fashion week, this will have to do for now.

Taken at Oysterfest in Fort Mason, May 2010.   While this outfit isn't particularly exciting, it's pretty representative of my weekend style: a bit preppy, comfy and, of course, a little dose of color.

Bright Pants!

My absolute favorite trend from the Fall 2011 runways was bright colored pants, especially in red and orange hues.   A style that was once reserved for only the preppiest of preppy-- I think these images prove that they are totally wearable by anyone!

I got an amazing deal at Gap last month on some bright red cropped corduroys and I can't stop wearing them. They honestly make me happy every time I put them on!  Obviously they will be great for spring but I also think they work well with layers to spice up a classic sweater or coat like they showed on the runways.

It looks like all the Gap corduroys are gone but I found a couple of fun colors at Zara, TopShop and American Apparel.  Pictures along with some other inpsiratioal photos are below.

Dear Mr. Sartorialist,

Thanks for finding another 12 year old more stylish than me. I'll keep working.
