Inspired by
Bill Cunningham, I went around and took my own snapshots of the fashion of Denton, TX. I chose a nice Saturday night to see what young and fashionable people are wearing today. I found myself at a local bar, because where else are you going to find any self-respecting college student. It also gives them the opportunity to dress up and get out of the sweats they where to class.
A small group of girls chose a dressed up casual look with long necklaces and belts to accessorize. I liked that they all stepped a little bit further with the "little black dress-look," adding jewelry, prints, and a neutral color into the mix.
I thought this couple looked really cute together, even though they said they didn't plan matching each other. I love the girl's open back dress and how she added a contrasting black belt to go with her white sequined dress. I thought the look was sexy but in a subtle way- something hard to pull off. The guy kept it simple with a white button down and black slacks- I think he was going for the girl being his main accessory.
I thought this dress was very interesting. It was made out of a microsuede- I love when designers use an unsuspecting fabric for something like a casual "going out" dress. The open shoulder and neckline outlined with grommets also add to the different look of this dress. I like that she added a belt to give the dress shape too.
I loved her dress and thought the look was eye-catching for such a simple dress. It's the color red that makes the dress- it's why red is my favorite color. She paired it with a skinny black belt and black tights and boots. Belts seem to be the main accessory for girls tonight- they're perfect for defining figures while just adding something extra that the dress was missing.
We have another sequined dress but this time in black. I like how she gave it a twist with the pearls, turning a party dress into a more classic look. I love the other girl's flowing white top and how she paired it with a fitted red skirt- again the color making it more interesting. I thought it was a very sophisticated look. After working with striped fabric last semester, I love the stripe dress pictured. The vertical stripes on the side gives it complexity for such a simple silhouette.
I liked what all of these girls were wearing. Even though they weren't decked out in dresses and heels, how they wore their sweaters and jeans was trendy and gave it a dressed up appearance. I thought the different colored scarves and the shiny clutch were perfect accessories for their ensemble.
Another trendy sequined garment paired with a simple cardigan gives it a sophisticated look. The two silky blouses have pretty silhouettes but I think their purses worn across their body really make the outfit, giving it a classy feeling.
Although I didn't get her to pose, I really liked how she put together her outfit. Her full top tucked into her tight-fitting skirt equalizes the outfit. Her tall boots do the same thing since her skirt is mini length. My favorite detail is the unique sleeve cutouts.
