In a thin whimsical dress and matching headband, Elizabeth tiptoes down Michigan Avenue as if in a scene from the ballet. Her silky thigh-length dress creates a soft, ever changing shape blowing in the light breeze. With understated details like the silk flower corsages on the dress and the headband, Elizabeth creates a youthful and elegant look for the summer. more ›

Jim, looking as if he just stepped out of the shower with none off its cleansing effect, is sporting a vintage Tones On Tail t-shirt, presumably to rub everyone else's nose in the fact that "he was there when it was NOT COOL to like weird music!" Complementing the shirt is his vintage motorcycle jacket that must be a hand-me-down since it's obvious he never actually invests any money in new clothes. The ensemble is brought together by a pair of jeans that (amazingly, for once) fit him and flow over the top of his always-seemingly-rapidly disintegrating Doc Martens. Luckily he can't hear a word we just said since he's been busily scanning his iPod trying to decided whether this is the right moment for Pavement, Kelly Clarkson, Mastodon, or yet another remix from a dance music MP3 blog. more ›

Doused in black, Lady in the Park was enjoying a quiet lunch break on a sunny afternoon. Her interpretation of an all-black outfit focuses less on texture (see Tracy) and more on accents and accessories. Her beautiful detailed scarf brings out her cat-like eyes and complements her flat bangs. Regardless of the differences between this outfit and Tracy's, they both use the color black effectively to create a subdued background that allows the details (whether they be woven patterns or bright scarves and undershirts) to pop. more ›

Tracy loves cotton, so much so that she wraps herself in it from head to toe. Her horizontally ribbed sweater and vertically cable knit tights create an stunning contrast, yet they don't seem too excessive. Contouring her body, the shadows extenuate the cotton textures, while the blackness of her ensemble creates a subdued canvas, on which only the ribs and knots stand out. It’s a great way to show off what a mix-match set of woven patterns can do. more ›

After a long winter, the first few days of warm weather brought along a pleasant change to puffy jackets and thick boots. Shedding the down feathers and extra layers, Valerie was caught breezing by with a refreshing thin jacket and light silk scarf; she was late for giving one of her Chicago chocolate boutique tours. Her vivid yellow coat plays well with the splash of blue and purple on her scarf and bag, making for a festive, yet elegant, springtime look. more ›

Like so many other Chicagoans, Justine throws on her oversized black coat on a cold day. But as a bold twist, she decides to wrap her zig-zag scarf around her like a poncho. Her curved bangs cut into the sharp lines of her scarf and soften what would otherwise be a harsh statement. Justine carries her dramatic look with confidence; not everyone can pull this off. more ›

Latithia got off the brown line on her way to the public library. When asked to be photographed, she hesitated, Wait, is this a bad fashion blog? After being assured that this is not a bad fashion blog (well, depending on whom you ask), she agreed to step out into the light to show off her look. An aspiring fashion student, Latithia knew exactly how to strike a pose with no guidance. more ›
