Street Style Roundup: November
The world of fashion is a hustling bustling place, and the internet is no exception. “Street Style” blogs like Lookbook.nu and The Sartorialist have popped up all over the internet these past few years, shaking up the world of fashion by featuring REAL people with REAL style and consequently, inspiring millions of people around the world. My goal is to show you some of the best of the best of these styles.
Every month, I will feature some of the best looks I find on the web, and post them up to give you style inspiration as well as show you how you can create similarly styled outfits.
Read on for the first edition of what I hope to be many Street Style Roundups!
All American Girl

Isn’t this outfit just the icing on the cupcake? It’s so put-together, yet still so simple. To get a similar look, just slip on a white tank or v-neck and tuck it into this cute red patterned skirt. Then belt your waist with a plain belt and throw on this cute blue cardigan from Delia’s. Pop on your fedora, slip on some flats of your choosing, and you’ll be good to go!
Little Miss Sunshine

While I love this look, realistically not many of us college girls would ever consider wearing such a daring jumper. So instead I drew inspiration from this girl’s color palette. First I chose a ruffly mustard top from J.Crew, and then a pair of brown skinny jeans. To get that splash of blue into the outfit, I chose a cute fringed scarf. And then lastly I chose a pair of red ballet flats for that last pop of color. Wear this, and I guarantee you will not be able to stop smiling.
Blue Period

I am in love with this girl’s look. It’s so put-together and well thought out that it looks almost effortless. To get a similar look, I chose a cute navy cami, to serve as the centerpiece of the outfit. Then I picked out a blue blouse with bell sleeves (for this look, leave the blouse open – it adds interest to your outfit). Then I paired that with a simple pair of washed out skinnies, some basic white shoes, and – to add a touch of masculinity and offset the colors, a studded bracelet. Violà! An effortless, casual, everyday outfit.
Purple Haze

This outfit is my favorite of this post. This girl manages to incorporate purple, one of this season’s “it colors”, not once, not twice, but 4 times (and it still looks chic)! To get a similar look, I chose a white lace top that you can tuck into this skirt that I found in the loveliest shade of purple. Slip on a black blazer, and a pair of these Steve Madden booties, and you’ll be walking the town in style.
Animal Instinct

Someone call Kate Moss, because I think I just found her style twin! This girl manages to pull off slouchy chic so perfectly that it’s almost scary. To get a similar look, I chose a lovely zebra print top and paired it with some distressed boyfriend jeans. Then I went ahead and chose some lace up flats, and to add some grungy sparkle, I chose a rocker-esque chain necklace. This look is perfect for a weekend lounging or strolling through the park.
Thoughts?

I am ABSOLUTELY in love with the last girl’s outfit. OMG – I’m itching to run to the mall and buy boyfriend jeans (i still don’t own a pair… can’t believe it), combat boots and and animal print tank.
Seriously, love the girl.
Isabelle
I heart the purple haze sfm!
Luinae
I like how you took less wearable outfits and made them easy to wear for normal things like going to class and the library. I think it makes it a lot more easy to pull off!
Sam
Very cute looks! You did a great job translating mostly unwearable look (I mean, I guess those girls have style but I don’t like it) to really cute, easy to wear things. The first look at the Purple Haze looks are my favorites!
Ashley
Maybe it’s just the picture, but the clothes look SUPER sloppy. I do, however, like the outfit ideas to the right of the model photo.
diana
Lots of great looks here. The purple haze look is my favorite for all the reasons you mentioned in the article. The fact that purple is the “it” color this season and she incorporated it into her look 4 times shows off her creativity for fashion. The look would’ve been boring if she stuck with just one shade of purple so I applaud her color choices and the overall look.
Brooke
Are you kidding about “Blue Period” girl? Maybe my computer is confused and is showing me a different picture. I totally understand that people like different styles, but I just don’t understand how that’s even the slightest bit flattering…you shouldn’t sacrifice looking good for taking a risk.
I love All American Girl and Purple Haze, though, and I like that you put actual wearable outfits next to the stuff we’d never wear.

Funny that the All American girl is actually Russian :D
Striped Shirts
Love the looks here especialy the “all american girl” and ” purple haze” look.
Natasha Iris
I love this post!
I deifnitely love the purple haze style cuz I personally love pruple as well and try to always incorporate it in my outfits.
definitely cant wait for more of these posts!
can i give a suggestion? theres this site, i dunno if you probably know about it, chictopia.com which is just like lookbook :))
Heather
Uhhh Blue Period? I think not. The suggestions you gave for it are beautiful but the actual photo source, i dont think so. Looks like a hobo on the street look to be blunt, one of those Mary Kate & Ashley looks gone EXTREMELY wrong. Everything else is great (except that lady in all yellow is not preferable either although at least she’s somewhat stylish and the suggestions go with it). But wow, blue period, I mean come on none of the clothes on that woman let alone her hair flatter her body. If anything she should go on a show called “What not to wear”.
Hilary
While I think these outfits are cute, none of them are really weather-appropriate for people living north of D.C.at this time of year. I would have liked to see at least one choice that took the coldness into account.
Kristina
I like the majority of these looks, but I agree that they are not functional for us having winter this time of year! Also, the bottom of Blue Period looks reeeeeeeeally sloppy. I love the top half of her outfit, but those jeans fit her horrifically!

Love all the looks ! especially the purple haze looks ..
