Christie’s classic “All-American” look is typical of DePaul students and the Lincoln Park neighborhood. What I found interesting enough about her to photograph was her natural beauty, heightened by a lack of makeup, her relaxed demeanor, and navy silk scarf. Silk scarves are generally underutilized by young women in America and are usually seen – if at all – only on older ladies or fans of the vintage look.
Lately I have been incorporating more vintage into my wardrobe. As I become more attentive to identifying fashionable people on the street (like Lydia), I am beginning to understand how to artfully mix older clothes with new to create stylish looks. As you can see above, Lydia took a vintage acid-wash jean skirt and mixed it with an American Apparel jacket to create a casual chic look.
