I admit, I find myself passing wayyyy too much time trawling street style sites. But what better way is there to get a fashion fix like that other than hopping on the train and jetting to NYC or San Fran or Seattle? Speaking of Seattle, I grew up there. I was there during the madness of grunge. I was there when Pioneer Square was all about crazy artist lofts. Not the wealthy artists. The poor artists. I was there when vintage ruled the streets. When a stroll on Capitol Hill meant eyes beware. Now that some of those crazier, youthful days have passed and I'm soaking up the sun in the tropics, I find myself checking out the street style sites to revisit a bit of that past. I have to say, not much has changed and I don't mean that in a bad way. People are still expressing themselves. People are still creative and people are still people. And I love them! It's a fun way for me to gain new appreciation or inspiration for the art of dressing up. And if fashion isn't fun or inspirational, why bother, really? Eyes beware and get your fix!
