Hello all! Here's my first installment of my street style blogs. Every so often, inbetween my blogs on other topics, I'm going to post some of the best dressed Londoners/tourists I've come across! I don't want to make my blog purely street style, I think that's a bit boring really, there's so many out there. So I'd rather have a nice mix. I've just chosen to include this as these styles give me inspiration for outfits I can create myself.
First up, this lovely lady. I saw her across the road from Rokit on Brick Lane and just had to get a photo of her gorgeous outfit! I love her choice of pastel shades and the floatiness of her beautiful sheer skirt. The victorian style blouse gives this outfit vintage kudos, and the flowers in her hair complete the feminine look.

The aim of these posts is also to demonstrate that it doesn't matter what age, size or budget you're working to, you can still look stylish. This lady was in her mid-late thirties, is blessed with a great figure and proves you can still be stylish as you mature. Although she is nowhere near old, it seems like a lot of women around that age feel they either have to tone down their fashion sense - be a bit conservative (boring!) - and seem to lose some of that creaivity in their wardrobe, or they go the complete opposite way. The way no woman should go, it's like a midlife crisis. When the words 'mutton dressed as lamb' spring to mind, you know it's not a good look. This lovely customer was gracious enough to let me get a quick pic. She wears a caramel coloured short sleeve blouse with a white polka dot midi skirt (you can't really see a pattern in the photo) and some amazing tan suede wedges. The handbag is a nice touch as it can be worn over the shoulder or just be hand held as in the photo. Altogether this neutral combination gets a big thumbs up from me.

This little darlin was so sweet! She was really polite and was really pleased that I liked her outfit. I thought I'd make the most of the nice weather whilst outside looking after our weekend market stall and looked for some fashion inspiration. I love the really wide collared 60's/70's floral shirt. Such a pretty pattern! Teamed with these charcoal city shorts it makes a perfect casual day outfit. I love the colour clash with the bright sunny yellow tones softening the harsh charcoal. Nicely done.
And finally, this lovely number. It's a really pretty bright floral 80's jumpsuit, simply teamed with a slouchy tan bag (and a juicy fruit smoothie!). It's quite minimal, but it's better that way. If she over-accessorised the outfit would look too cluttered. Perfect for a day in the sun!
So there you have it, street style on Brick Lane over the past few weeks. Look out for an upcoming blog on Arcade Fire, an over excited post all in the name of fashion, and hopefully if I get myself motivated some tutorials of some kind. All coming up so keep coming back, and don't forget to follow!!
