Spotted...Library Mall, Madison




Really nice layers on this gentleman from NYC. I like how he has a lot of blues on him, because the blues really go well with his hair color. And with different tones of blues, it's created a layer effect which is perfect for the cold weather.

Nice Colors...State Street, Madison




Nice colors... and a really nice pair of Converse... I think Converses are especially nice when they are all dirty and worn out...

Leather bag...State Street, Madison


I almost forgot about this photograph, as you can see, it's definitely not from these few days, I shot this last weekend when it was still warm...
I like the lady's leather bag... also, light blue denim and brown leather boots...perfect match!!
Another beautiful coincidence is her skin tone and hair color, if her skin wasn't this pale, the whole look would look really strange.

Spotted... Humanities Building, Madison






Red tie,blue jeans, white shirt etc... nothing really fancy, but to the point, that's what I love about this gentleman's look. He was able to pull off the hat nicely... this kind of hat does not look good on everyone, at least not on me, no matter how hard I try...

Spotted...State Street, Madison




The cold weather's back! It's really a love hate to me. I hate it because it does get REAL cold here in Madison, and it's no fun staying outdoors. But I love it at the same time because people will put on more layers for the cold, and that means more mix and matches.
I love this gentleman's pea coat, in fact I have a similar one too. And good call on the black jeans, it goes really well with the black boots, it's always difficult to find a good color to match black shoes.

Classy... State Street, Madison



Don't have to say much about this lady, I just love every piece on her, they are all so elegant. Her golden accessories match perfectly with her blond hair and skin tone. And of course, the scarf is a beauty, it elevates the classiness to a higher level.

Spotted... Sardines (Williamson Street), Madison







 I was about to enter Sardines (my favorite restaurant in Madison) for brunch today, and right next to the entrance, I spotted this gentleman sitting outside, enjoying his meal. I hesitated whether I should approach him, since I forgot my camera this morning and I wasn't sure if he would wait for me to get my camera, luckily he was willing to do so, thank you very much.
Another lucky is that, it's really hard to find young guys with his style around this area.
Anyway, I love his driver shoes, no doubt... and good job playing with colors, they made him look more mature even with the preppy shoes on. I also like how clean he looks, and of course his Prada eyeglasses grabbed my attention while I was shooting.

Spotted... State Street, Madison


This is what we call mix and match here. There isn't any particular main item on this lady, but it's the whole look that draws your attention. She does know how to accessorize her look too, I love her glasses, her fedora and her big loop earring. I'm glad she didn't wear anything fancy or complicated on her lower half, because this helps balance her very busy upper half.

Biking Boots?... N. Bassett, Madison



I always tried to avoid wearing loafers or boots when I had to bike that day, since I thought it wouldn't be comfortable wearing them while you bike. But apparently that's not true... and it looks pretty good as well.

Go Badgers!!!... State Street, Madison


Great victory against MSU today

Spotted... State Street, Madison





Another display of simplicity, yet huge wow factor involved. I normally do not suggest girls wearing gladiator sandals, because it's not easy to pull off. But apparently, this lady WAS able to do so, especially with her long skinny legs and shorts with the perfect length.
Here are some suggestions if you really want to wear gladiator sandals:
Number 1, you need to be tall enough, or the shoes actually make you look short.
Also, no skinny jeans please, you don't want to look like you are being wrapped from toe to thigh.
Nail polishing with these shoes... is a No! The sandals alone already draw enough attention, you don't need more...

Old school... N. Park Street, Madison





This gentleman pulled off a look that's almost regularly seen in Japanese fashion magazines like Men's Nono. Really old school, he didn't wear anything fancy in particular, but that's how it works.
I love his bag, when you look at it carefully, it's actually pretty interesting.

Spotted... Memorial Library, Madison




 Less is more... no crazy prints, no complicated cuttings, simply a pair of jeans, black boots, gray top makes the whole look perfect. Of course, this lady wants to let us know that she's not a boring person, so she spiced it up with her necklace and headband.

Nike Blazers!!!... N. Park Street, Madison






Happy to find a person who's not wearing rain boots on a rainy day. It's hard... because rain boots on rainy days are like Ugg boots in winter.
I like her Nike Blazers a lot, in fact i think that all black is the best color in the Nike Blazer line. And what makes it even better is that they are not new, so you can see some worn out leather and parts turning white on the shoes.
Good call on the pants, because Blazers don't go well with skinny legged pants. It's tapper legged, not really skinny, but won't look baggy at the same time.
I also like her scarf with the crazy patterns, it creates a great contrast to her whole outfit

Spotted... State Street, Madison




Love the cowboy boots, I see too many people abusing the use of cowboy boots nowadays. So I'm glad that she picked that dress, it definitely goes well with the boots.

Spotted... Chicago Theatre, Chicago



I normally don't like to take photos at night, just because I like bright photos too much. But this time, I was at the entrance of Chicago Theatre, standing under hundreds of light bulbs, and I thought I should give it a try.
I recently have a thing for small leather bags, I'm just in love with them.

Cheeeeeese:D... N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago


Well dressed man. Like his loafers and handkerchief in his pocket.
Not so sure about the pink phone though...

Spotted... N. Michigan Ave, Chicago




Compared to the last homeless guy, this man has a total different feeling, now that I look at the shots, it looks kind of sad actually. It seems like the arm is trying so hard to protect his story, hidden under his baggy blazer

Denim... University Ave, Madison


Thanks to my cousin Chuck, I'm pretty much in love with Denim nowadays.
Good choice on the boy friend denim shirt. If she wore a denim jacket it would be a total different story. I'm glad she went for white top and white shorts, the whites added some sexiness to the "worker feel" shirt.

Floral number 4... State Street, Madison





Thumbs up for this floral dress, perfect length and perfect colors for this lady's skin tone. Also, I like her sandal/flats (thank god she's not wearing flip flops, a lot of girls around this area do that, and it's very wrong)
Good bag choice too, the black leather backpack definitely enhances her vintage look. On the streets, especially in college towns, you see a lot of girls wearing a nice dress, great makeup and then on their back, is a nylon JanSports backpack, what a turn off.
One more thumbs up for this lady... she's a fan of The Sartorialist as well.
