Fashion Fridays: Matching laces and stripes

I met Brooke and her cute little daughter on a late sunny fall afternoon while walking down the Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The sun was low, making long beautiful shadows, the trees were changing their colors and it was getting a little chilly.

Brooke was chatting with her neighbor leaning over the fence in front of a town house wearing a warm sand coat and skinny jeans. That day she put on a rainbow scarf. Brooke was simply shining her way through Williamsburg the way only a happy mother can and I suspect that’s why she chose to wear a red purse with a sand pattern that matched her coat and creating a cheerful, lovely fall effect. However, the coolest part of her outfit was her navy blue Adidas sneakers with shiny green stripes and a shirt with matching shiny green stripes on her shirt.

While, Brooke was sipping her coffee and chatting, her little daughter was exploring the parallel little world of Bedford Avenue; chasing the neighbor’s pug, Very little, but totally stylish indeed. Her mom chose for her a red dress with matching red tights and a dark green coat.  At first she was shy and didn’t want me to photograph her, but later on she was really enjoying it and a photo shoot turned into an awesome game.

Friday Fashion Tip: I know, we are New Yorkers, but let’s leave that black jacket at home for once and let’s celebrate the amazing colors that fall has painted all over the place and let’s wear something cheerful! Go to the nearest park for inspiration and bring on warm red, yellow, green and sandy.
