Name: Caroline Rudolph

Where to get it: Nordstrom in Richmond.

Occupation: Student at Virginia Tech

Age: 23

Location: West Main Street, Christiansburg

Date: Saturday, April 20, 2013

Time: 4:12 p.m.

—————–

What caught my eye: I’m not sure how else to put it, but Caroline’s outfit is one very sexy outfit.

Casual, but sexy. Her waxed jeans, booties and Louis Vitton bag add some daytime-friendly glam to her look. The loose-fitting denim top, tank and peeking black lace bustier anchor down this hot ensemble.

Name: Laura Pineda-Fischer

What influences your personal style? “I want to make clothing for an androgynous scene. There are some shops online that are doing it but they are really expensive. So doing that but more affordable is an interest for me.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece? “My tie.”

Where to get it: Erstwhile Wardrobe

Occupation: Art student at Hollins University

Age: 20

Location: Kirk Avenue, Roanoke

Date: Tuesday, April 9, 2013

Time: 6:50 p.m.

———————

What caught my eye: The idea of women wearing men’s fashion is far from new. Madonna is one celebrity who has rocked this look.

There is a level of ambiguity in this sort of look, the kind that, to me, takes a load of confidence. Laura wasn’t short of confidence and her outfit was on point. If she can pull this off, in my opinion she can pull off any look she wants.

Name: Ana Ellis

What’s something you would never be caught wearing? : “Leggings as pants.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece?: “My dress.”

Where to get it : Mad Dog

Occupation: Account executive at Modea

Age: 24

Location: Campbell Avenue, Roanoke

Date: Tuesday April 9, 2013

Time: 6:37pm

——————

What caught my eye: The weather got warm quite fast, but it is spring after all so layering is still a must.  The contrast in color of Ana’s turquoise cardigan really made her red dress pop. This is a great example of a no frills, spring look.  

Name: Caitlin Mitchell

How would  you describe your personal style? “I’m from Cape Cod, so I’m usually very preppy. I’d say now that I live in Virginia I’m more Southern prep.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece? “My dress.”

Where to get it: J Crew

Occupation: Creative coordinator at Neathawk Dubuque and Packett

Age: 22

Location: Salem Avenue, Roanoke

Date: Tuesday April 9, 2013

Time: 6:15 p.m.

——————

What caught my eye: Jean jackets are a great way to dress down a semi-formal look, her sandals keep it simple as well. Ditching the jean jacket and a simple change in shoes would change this whole look completely. Caitlin’s dress is a versatile wardrobe piece, which are the best kind to shop for.

Name: Gretchen Weinnig

Who is your style icon? ” My icon is Audrey Hepburn, even though we’re not the same body type. I try to dress with the same classic elegance.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece?  “My green dress for St. Patrick’s Day.”

Where to get it: T.J. Maxx

Occupation: Business banker at Stellar One

Age: 38

Location: Franklin Road, Roanoke

Date: Friday, March 15, 2013

Time: 2:06 p.m.

——————

What caught my eye: I’m always drawn to women wearing dresses or skirts that are almost the same length of their coat, where only a little bit peeks out. Gretchen looked great with her green dress hidden under that khaki trench and nude pumps.

Name: Megan Flynn

Signature item you can’t go without? “My ring, me and two of my cousins all got the same rings, I wear it every day.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece? “My skirt.”

Where to get it: Madewell

Age: 24

Location: Church and Jefferson, Roanoke

Date: Saturday, March 9, 2013

Time: 4:31 p.m.

—————–

What caught my eye: Skirts with a sheer overlay are really popular this season; I like the pleats with the belt creating a clear waistline here on Megan. Signs of spring style are starting to happen, a very welcomed transition.

Name: Becca Cranwell

Something you would never be caught wearing? “Uggs, they are so bad.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece? “My sweater.”

Where to get it: La De Da

Occupation: Copy writer

Age: 25

Location: Salem Avenue, Roanoke

Date: Saturday, March 9, 2013

Time: 3:55 p.m.

—————–

What caught my eye: Neutral colors mixed with a few brighter shades, lots of layers. It’s still winter after all, and how cute is her dog?

Name: Lani Fu

Something you’d never be caught wearing? “I had my ironic T-shirt phase, and I don’t think I’d ever go back there.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece?  “I guess I’d have to say the Topshop duffel coat, or the Modcloth scarf.”

Occupation: Student

Age: 20

Location: College Avenue, Blacksburg

Date: Monday, February 18, 2013

Time: 6:59 p.m.

——————

What caught my eye: It seems it’s been all about dark colors with pops of color this winter. Lani added some pop with her scarf and the red ring on her socks. Simple but effective.

Name: Hillary Wheatley

What is something you’d never be caught wearing? “A romper, they look cute on some girls, just not me.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece?  “My dress.”

Where to get it: ModCloth

Occupation:  Accountant at Dixon Hughes Goodman

Age: 23

Location: Franklin Road, Roanoke

Date: Wednesday, February 6, 2013

Time: 2:02 p.m.

——————

What caught my eye: At first glance, Hillary’s outfit is mostly blacks and grays. Once I took a second look, I noticed a subtle touch of purple under her coat, and her brown purse gave a nice added mix of neutrals. What stands out to you in Hillary’s look?

Name: Nicole Buszius

What influences your personal style? “My personality, I buy things that are fashionable but casual. I want my clothes to reflect my personality.”

What’s this outfit’s signature piece? “My jacket and shoes.”

Where to get it: “The jacket is from Forever 21, the shoes are from Belk.”

Occupation: Bilingual benefit specialist for the Department of Social Services

Age: 25

Location: First Street, Roanoke

Date: Wednesday, February 6, 2013

Time: 1:47 p.m.

——————

What caught my eye: The word cute sometimes doesn’t have the same power as gorgeous, lovely, beautiful or fabulous.  However, I can’t really find another word to describe Nicole’s look.

It’s a really cute outfit all for the right reasons. Her coat has a great feminine shape, it pairs nicely with her slim jeans. Her purple gloves and hat bring form and function to the look, giving this casual outfit a nice girly touch on a chilly day.

What do you think of this outfit? Is cute the right word?
