NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Our new street fashion column, at Temple University

POSTED: Wednesday, September 30, 2009, 8:21 PM

Every Wednesday, Critical Mass pops into a neighborhood and finds its most stylish residents.

For my first week writing this brand-new street style column, I hit up Temple University. The people who impressed me most knew how to dress for the changing weather/seasons, mixing warm-weather items like sundresses and shorts with more autumnal pieces like scarves and boots. First up is Sara L., who wore a simple black, white and grey ensemble:

Sara L., 20, student
Favorite place to shop: "Joyce Leslie and H&M."

Nicole Saylor

Ben H., 18, student
Pieces you won't leave home without: "A purple hoodie and Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses."

Kristen V., 18, student
Personal style: "Comfy and modest, but keeping it feminine and chic at the same time."

Nicole S., 20, student
Biggest fashion splurge: "A pair of 1980s red leather boots off of E-Bay."

Nicole Saylor

Samantha K., 21, student
Favorite local boutique: "Topstitch."

S,

You know, it's cheating to use people you know, just saying. I'm kidding, I'm just jealous you didn't pick me. If I really was B, I would dress a lot better than I do. Anyhow, love your column. Mwah.



xoxo,

B

Ben H. has a great look. He must come from a very stylish family.

Ben H is not stylish, he looks at the pages of

urban outfitters. That is not style, that is just

being another hipster. He is a wanna-be, fake, and has

enough money to buy what he sees on a rack, nothing is 

original.
