Street Style!

I love The Sartorialist. I love this idea that at any fashion event, or even just walking down Fifth Avenue in NYC on an average day, Scott Schuman could pop up and decide to photograph you. If you're wearing something trendy and holding your hands in an awkward way, this photograph could be posted and just-like-that you're famous. If you don't look completely fierce, you've missed an opportunity to be sealed in among the best dressed of all time.

Scott Schuman has upped the need for chic street fashion. If you weren't motivated to look incredible before, then certainly the fear of The Sartorialist has changed you. Unfortunately, the chances of Scott Schuman coming to St. Louis are pretty small, so I don't have a much to be fearful of. But if I ever find myself pounding down the streets of Paris, Milan, or NYC, which I will, I'm going to hope and pray that I get a frame.

Reading "The Sarorialist," Scott Schuman's publication of his favorite looks, kind of changed my view on what makes good fashion. The people who look the best aren't necessarily following every trend and rule straight off the runway or buying clothes off the mannequins in department stores. What makes people look amazing is when they demonstrate outstanding personal style. It's all about that signature quirk, and that boost of confidence recieved from dressing in something you absolutely love.

People with amazing personal style inspire me so much, and that's what the concept is all about. Seeing someone wearing something different makes me want to try something new with the clothes I have. Mixing, matching, and restyling to create something unexpected. Examples up later, if/when I find my digital camera.

p.s.- More than once, I've been stumped with what to wear, and have retreated to my copy of "The Sartorialist" for inspiration. Should I be ashamed of that?
