I finally had a chance to catch up on my Bloglovin’ reader (sort of), so I thought I’d share some of my favorite street style photos:

TOP ROW:
A leather collar immediately turns any look badass (Fashion Copious); I can’t wait to wear this full mini + slouchy sweater combo once the heat calms down–no, really, CALM DOWN HEAT (Paulinemma); I swear a good hat and proper blazer can make almost anything look better (Easy Fashion)

BOTTOM ROW:
A slouchy top and short-shorts looks downtown-chic when done right (Chloe et sa boite à conserves); Combining black-and-white prints is the easiest way to get into the pattern mixing game (Stockholm Street Style); See, THIS is how you wear a bra top in public, Sue Ellen Mischke (Sam Is Home).

The Internet serves us in many ways: it’s home to a wealth of information (just Google it), it’s a way to connect with people around the world (social networks!), and it’s a repository for ignorance (YouTube commenters). One of my favorite perks of all this newfangled technology is the ability to virtually people-watch stylish folks around the world–aka cruise Street Style blogs*.

Everybody knows about The Sartorialist and Garance Dore and Jak & Jil, but there are so many other street style sites out there. I figure it couldn’t hurt to share a few of my favorites:

The other side

If you’re at all interested in shooting street style photography, I highly recommend reading Dorothy of Polka Dots’ informative and insightful post Shooting Fish at Fashion Week.

*It took me forever to create this post because I kept getting distracted and  looking at the pics. Now you won’t get any work done either, haha!  YOU’RE WELCOME.

One of the best things about the interwebz is the rise of street style photos. Sure the world wide web has other semi-useful purposes, but when it comes to checking out what other people are wearing, it really starts to earn its keep.

These are a few of my current favorites. Clearly, I’m feeling the Parisian dandy/deconstructed stage costume look right now.

Do you have any favorite street style sites? God forbid I spend my time being productive, I’d rather look at strangers’ clothes!

While perusing Elle.com, I came across a photo of a classic early summer look. The combination of an oxford shirt,  ripped white denim, and animal print sandals is the perfect example of easy modern style.

Here’s how it’s done:

1. Van Heusen boy’s oxford, JC Penney 2. Siwy ripped jeans, Shopbop 3. OPI nail polish in Coral Line Conga, Sephora 4. Prari “Renee” sandals, Zappos.com 5. Leather bag, Lush 6. Michael Michael Kors belt, Bluefly
