Hey guys! I present to you, as always, my top 5 favorite pics from the last few weeks of street style blogging. Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section - including what street style or other fashion sites you're feeling these days. Here we go:

 

 

I like these first two outfits for the way their wearers managed to take a look I normally associate with another season - prepster in the Fall and nautical in the Summer, respectively - and make it totally winter-appropriate. At left (from a December 15 post at Alta Mira NYC), the chunky weight of the sweater and the dark, evergreen hue of the denim winterizes a look we've been seeing since early October; at right (from a December 19 post at Street Peeper), her sweet polka-dot leggings, heavy lace-up boots, and prim dress make for a perfect cold-weather interpretation of pin-up nautical. It's almost a little gothic, no?

 

 

These next two photos (the left from a December 14 post at Face Hunter; the right from a December 12 post at Garance Dore) were just such a great mix of COMPLETELY KOOKY and TOTALLY GROUNDED that I couldn't resist them. The funny vintage cape at left is played up with the pom-pommed hat but kept down to earth by the solid boots and neutral, thigh high socks. And while the trimmed, electric blue coat at right runs dangerously close to over-the-top, those ripped tights and beaten up Chuck Taylors keep things from becoming too impractical. They're both fun looks. 

 

This outfit, from a December 12 post at Copenhagen Street Style, was EASILY my favorite look - and while much of that has to do with how interesting her trench coat is (what an excellent take on a classic!), I was mostly impressed by her mastery of THE ART OF LAYERING. The fit of her pieces is perfect - the slouchy sweater under the open coat could be hiding up to THREE more layers underneath it and we'd never be the wiser, and she's got a great foundation for it all with covered up legs (do I spy tights AND cropped cigarette pants? GENIUS) and practical-but-totally-cute booties. This girl is my December Style Star.
