Normally I split couples up so I can post each street-style photo individually, especially if it’s just one outfit that I’m really interested in featuring. Not so with these two, whose looks carry the same hip yet relaxed vibe common to people who hang out along the Blue Line.
Mesha’s explosively patterned dress is a vintage piece from the 1980s that she snagged from a boutique on Etsy. I love that she chose not to alter the silhouette and kept the strong shoulder pads in. Next time I see a dress like this at one of Chicago’s summer vintage markets, it’s mine…
