What caught my eye: I seldom head out in rainy conditions, because Southwest Virginia turns into one large ghost town when the weather is poor.

Downtown Blacksburg however was bustling with students cramming for their last exams of the semester.  I started looking for people not letting the rain cramp their style and stumbled on Caitie.

I liked how she layered casual wear into a not so casual rainy afternoon look. I’m glad I took my camera out with me today.

What caught my eye: Brian is definitely taking cues off Kanye, that camel color double breasted topcoat demands attention and sartorial respect. A popped coat collar doesn’t just keep the cold air off your neck; it adds some attitude to your winter wear. Pop your collar guys, it’s fun!
