Street fashion

Ok, so maybe this is really bar fashion, but here's what happened. After my post on how I'm going to start looking at street fashion instead of runways for style inspiration, I went to see a band at a bar on E. Houston. Talk about street fashion, this was a mix of punk rocker wanna be's, pimpin-aint'-easy leopard print coats and red velvet hats, glittery LES fashion divas and East Village comfortable-cool it-really-took-me-two hours-to-get-dressed looks. It was a buffet for the fashion senses. (I was going to say feast, but then I decided that buffet is the more accurate food comparison. Like when there is a lot of food and you try a little bit of everything, but only a few dishes are actually done right). But anyways, there were some interesting looks, like military pants tucked into combat boots with a white fur vest. Punk cuteness. But the absolute best was actually the bar tender. Not the fastest server in the world, but checking out her Judi Rosen elephant bell-bottom jeans kept me patient while we waited for our beers.

I found a picture on line, but I think that they’re from last spring so I don't know if they are still being sold. However, you could get Judi Rosen shorts and pencil Capri’s on sale at shopbop.com. Sigh, I do love shopbop!
