What influences your personal style? “I tend to go for classic, sophisticated looks … Jackie O, Princess Kate … if I only had their bank accounts.”

What caught my eye: It was cold Friday afternoon, I mean cold.

When I saw Kay turn the corner I knew I needed to catch her quick before she found someplace warm.

I really love all the layering — tights to stay warm with her skirt and her coat was long to cover as much as possible. Also, take note of her boots. Kay means business with those tall, narrowstreet style and fashion in roanoke virginia. Womens winter fashion via The Roanoke Times - Style Street with David Verde heels.

    She looks great. I trust you schooled her about how wrong she is to find walking in heels uncomfortable.

      @tass, no need. Kay is 58 and still pulling out her tall heels? She’s a class act in my book, sore feet or not.

About this blog

Welcome to The Roanoke Times' Style Street blog where I, David Verde, will share my street fashion finds from around Southwest Virginia.

How do I do it? I go on a walk with my camera, and when I find people I think look stylish or unique, I stop them and ask if I can take their picture. Although people can be hesitant, nervous and sometimes blush, most say yes.

I make regular visits to Lexington, Blacksburg, Roanoke, Radford, Lynchburg and Friday night jamborees in Floyd. If you see me out, feel free to say hi and pose.
