NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Queen Village sun goddesses
Neighborhood Watch looks for Philly’s most fashionable. This week, Kala caught up with three warm-weather worshippers in Queen Village.
As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, lighter jackets (and even bare arms) become neighborhood norms. I caught up with hree girls who couldn’t wait to show off the duds that had previously been bundled under heavy wool coats.
Nashae Pettus (17) of Mount Airy, considers herself a “sandals and jeans” type of girl, and was perfectly dressed for a brisk and sunny day of strolling outside. She topped her black Gap jeans and striped H&M shirt with a light wash denim jacket from Weathervane. Her glittery, slouchy bag and beaded jewelry are also from Gap and H&M, respectively, but her taupe suede sneakers are from Lord & Taylor (and won’t be ruined by the snow on a warm day!).
She considers Urban Outfitters and Victoria’s Secret her other favorites, and is looking forward to shopping for new Spring looks. Aren’t we all?

Mariah Carty (18) was visiting the area for the day from Delaware. Her knee-high boots are from Boscov’s, her pants are from Urban Outfitters, and her tank, sweater, and necklace are from Forever 21. Her shades are from Icing and she also toted a fabulous pink Coach bag.
While in Philly, she loved checking out South Street stores like Luluish and Temptation and Barefoot Shoes, which is like DSW on an even tighter budget. What more could a girl want?

Talia Daniels (17), also from Mount Airy, is a big thrift store fan. She doesn’t even remember where she picked up her oversized graphic print sweater, but she knows it was a thrift find, so she more than likely got a great deal. Her leather and fur roll top boots are by Ugg, and her jeans are Gap. She also loves Zara, TopShop, and online shopping at Asos.com.
“I can’t wait to be able to wear sandals and skirts,” she says. “I love flirty tops in different patterns and colorful stuff.” What better way to celebrate the return of fall than with color?
