Nick - Folsom Street, SF

nickrm
"My style is just whatever I feel like dressing like that day. I have a picture of everything, so whatever I feel: happy, sad, whatever, projects through my clothing."

Color, texture, silhouette - Nick has it in spades. Something about his outfit (DMs and tight patterned jeans) reminds me of the punks of 'yore - the ever fashionable Sex Pistols type (not the Ramones type).

Those aforementioned Doc Martens. [Updated, actually they're Timmy's from Type Z - from comments, thanks.]

"What inspires my style is old ladies."

I admire Lorenzo's ballsy mix of textures and colors for a layered outfit of wow.

Kara - 25th Street, SF

kara25
"Just San Francisco style and music."

I'm really into the idea of dressing like a senior in high school circa 1987. Kara's dress with it's peach hue and thin stripes remind me of that era.

Ankle boots that may (or may not) be vintage.

Meagan - 24th Street, SF

meagan
"Palominos."

Love the contrasting patterns of roses on tights (with negative space) and the stripes with palominos on her blouse. Also, tying it all together is a mini cut like sailor pants. Pretty great.

Kat - 25th Street, SF

squareis
"Umm, I watch a lot of tv, so I either try to dress like Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl or Joan Halloway on Mad Men. This is more of a Joan Halloway look since it has a 60-ish thing to it with a cinched waist and kind of makes my hips look bigger like Joan Halloway."

Kat is Square Eyes - tv watcher and blogger extraordinaire. I admire her dedication in hoping to bring what she sees on the small screen into the outside world via self adornment. Also, her brocade fabric dress is quite lovely.

Emma and Django - Dolores Park, SF

emmadjango
"Clowns, clowns inspire my style."

I like her brightly colored dress, her red locks and how jaunty her hat looks. Also, her dog Django is a beast to be reckoned with.

Lisa - Dolores Park, SF

"New age therapist look. The 70s new age therapy."

I like her sundress, frayed and all. Am also loving her accessories of clear sunglasses frame and chunky buckle braided leather belt.

Yes, we do wear flats in the Mission don't we?

Yvonne - 25th Street, SF

yvonne
"Well that's really hard to answer: I just wear whatever I feel like. I think I'm influenced by architecture, and yeah. These [pants] are from a Swedish brand called Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, I bought them in New York last time I was there."

I like her pants, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair is a fantastic line of clothing. Check out how they cut their clothes.

Sometimes nothing is better than a pair of Repettos.

Monbon - Treat Street, SF

monbon
"This outfit, I love the ocean and snow storms."

Skirt is by Banana Republic. Attitude is vintage (at least since the 1980s).

Flat ankle boots make for an easier time walking up and down Treat during the RockMake Festival.

Laureen - Treat Street, SF

loreen
"The 70s, I guess. I got it for $2 at a garage sale, so I guess that is inspiring."

I love the red hair, the red headband, the red accent on the edging of her jersey dress, and the red shoes. That jersey dress is a great $2 thrift find.

A look at her red sandals.

Sinclair - Dolores Park, SF

sinclair
"This outfit, kind of last minute thrown together. I don't know what inspires my style, I guess maybe just kind of western meets Michael Caine and Dick Carter. I think that provides an adequate definition."

Clothes with a dash of color that fit well? Yes please.

Rachel and Alex - Dolores Park, SF

rachel_alex
Rachel: "Summer inspires my style."
Alex: "And I didn't really have anything inspire my style. I just wear whatever I find at thrift stores, I just pick it up."

I love Rachel's haircut and her cute wisp of a dress. I also admire Alex's boldness in pairing the extreme casualness of a tie-dyed shirt with the formality of brogues.

"Class. I like to be a little classy, a little trashy."

I like her cute square orange sunnies and lovely white dress with the birds of paradise floral pattern.

Hiromi - Dolores Park, SF

hiromi
"Summery, easy, cool."

This is an APC madras print sundress. (Verification in comments? - thanks!) Check out the shape of her fabulous sunnies and notice how she adeptly matches her belt to her sandals. Hiromi has style through and through.

Phoebe - Valencia Street, SF

phoebe3

Local filmmaker Phoebe Tooke is sporting a polyester 80s frock that would work well in the office secretary pool. I like how the dress looks so proper, but the Dr. Scholl's [corrected per comments - thanks.] are slightly unexpected and make it a bit casual.

Kayla - Dolores Park, SF

"This outfit, not much. I haven't been shopping in awhile, my Mom bought this skirt for me and I've had this shirt for awhile."

I like her color combination of nude colored blouse and her blue plaid skirt. Also, look at her silver stamped hoop earrings.

Meg - Dolores Park, SF

I love how Meg wears neutral colors, and modern clothes, but adds interesting touches through accessories; in this case, her red belt.

These shoes that look like oxfords, but have no shoe tongue? Pretty great.
