Bundled up on Free Street. It’s important to add a little color to otherwise dreary dressing days as these Mainers did with a blaze orange hat and green toggle coat.
Spotted at the corner of High and Congress, I first noticed the faded floral pants on this gorgeous young lady, a Mainer from York and a former MECA student. She was sporting a bandana, an embroidered shirt with lace underneath, a quilted backpack and a plaid shirt in hand - even with all the different prints and texturea, the look felt more fash than clash. Her boyfriend, also a Mainer and former MECAer, looked classically cool in a western plaid shirt and jeans. His main accessory was a pair of glasses tucked into his shirt, very smart for someone who might not have perfect vision. The best part was their laidback footwear — very broken-in flats for her and slippers on him. You can check out their artwork here and here. Unfortunately, they won’t be selling at First Friday’s anymore since they’re moving to San Francisco, but we hope they’ll be back soon.
And on an unrelated note, a huge thanks to Chantal for her sweet blog post about us. Check out the post here and her awesome shop here. The crush is mutual.
