Chicago Street Style: Sydney and her Panthers
I spotted Sydney walking down Rush Street as I was hurrying towards the Red Line stop on Chicago Avenue. I was on my way to run a couple errands in the Loop (a.k.a. visiting a pair of shoes at Brooks) after a successful day of street-style hunting. I was elated to see such a gorgeous woman on the sidewalk, particularly since I have photographed so many stylish men lately. I knew the falling sunlight combined with the blood red skirt and her natural beauty would make for a phenomenal image.
The best pictures often happen at the end of a hunt just as I’ve mentally checked out of street-style mode. I suppose it’s the universe’s way of playing tricks on me. Throwing a bird-of-paradise like Sydney into my street-style photographer lap feels like a gift from the gods. Especially since it was pure luck that she was out walking around on break from Intermix at the exact moment I walked by. Synchronicity much?
Sydney is wearing an AllSaints sweater under a 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Nordic cardigan. The skirt is by Mason and is from Intermix.
Oh, and the panther head earrings? Yeah, they’re vintage Cartier.
Beautiful portrait shot. Her panther earrings are gorgeous.
That skirt is amazing! I want to steal it from her, haha! Great shot, Amy!
