Wow. Where do you find these people? Seriously…Vancouver is full of creatively/tastefully/seemingly effortlessly well-dressed people, and yet you seem to gravitate towards and photograph anyone you can find wearing something “daring!” or unique –regardless of whether it works or not. Obviously, some master that particular style (photo #3), and that’s awesome! But come on…please…no flip flops! No painfully mismatched colour palettes! No harem pants and sneakers! No overalls made of cheap material over raglans!
I love this site and I love what you’re doing with this Look City feature…but please, give us more well-fitting, well-composed, and inspiring outfits to gawk at.
