What caught my eye: When I first saw Emily’s outfit, I was immediately drawn to her neckline.

I really loved the subtleties of her sheer blouse, the way it was cut all the way up to the neck, but with a few buttons undone showing just enough of her gold necklace. Not too modest, but not even close to being inappropriate.

Her dark navy blue pencil skirt was the perfect fit and had a great texture to it, adding a bit more detail to such a simple look. Emily’s little gold bag was super chic as well. I loved pretty much everything about this.

What caught my eye: Brian was defiantly on point with summer trends. Plaid shirts have been very popular the last couple years for summer wear, and chinos like his gray ones here have really taken over jeans for the warm months.

It’s funny she mentioned her style is influenced by style seen on the streets of New York City, because I felt Michelle’s look really had that understated refinement I often see when visiting and shooting street style in New York.

I often tell friends, great style is something you learn over time, once you master it you don’t have to work at it anymore. Michelle has mastered her style for sure.

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.
