European Summer fashion part 2

I seriously wanted to take photos of girls everywhere I went in Europe.  Guys too.  Even the most day-to-day outfits were so fabulous and different from what I see every day, it was constant eye candy.  The only problem was, well.  People thought I was nuts.  NUTS. I didn’t feel comfortable just snapping photos of people, so I had to ask, and then they looked at me like I was special.

shorts and suspenders

This girl was fantastic.  The second she got on the tram next to us I wanted to snap her photo.  As soon as she got off {at our stop, lucky!}, I grabbed her.  When I asked her she said, “That is such a strange thing to ask.”

I know sweetie, I get it.  But your outfit was fabulous.

Here’s how to re-create the shorts + suspenders look:

  • plain easy tee or tank
  • herringbone shorts
  • gladiator sandals
  • suspenders {white or black}
  • fabulous 80’s sunglasses
