Colors of Philly


Saturday was spent exploring my city. A city filled with so much history and the "first" of many things. Philly had the nation's first zoo, built by Ben Franklin. The nation's first "Daily" newspaper, the nation's first university (Pennsylvania), the nation's first paino by Johann Behrent in 1775 and of course the nation's first American Flag, sewn together by Besty Ross in her tiny shop. 
At times I do feel like we are under rated, but we are still a unique city with crazy Eagles and Flyer's fans who will defend them to the death. Also, we are known to be loyal and proud of anyone who may leave Philly, but still shows love for us, such as Will Smith, Kevin Bacon(gotta love his foot loose) and P!NK.

Anyhow, we walked, walked and did some more walking. We visited Elfreth's Alley, Queens Village, South Street of course and other places. Upon exploring, I could not help but notice all the lovely colors my city displayed in flowers, houses, murals and trash trucks. Below are some photos of the colors I saw and my outfit fit perfectly with my surroundings. What would I do without color in my life?
StarBucks at hand, Ready to go!

Rainbow Sorbet

 Ever wonder why people wear what they do? Ever wonder what made them go into the closet and pick that specific top/sweater? Would people still wear what they do if it were not for blogs or instagram? I can honestly say I have been dressing this way since before high school; because this is the real me. If people from high school were questioned today about me, I am certain they would say the same thing "That girl with long curly red hair, who dresses crazy." I would ask them to define "crazy". Either way call it what you like; this is me. I love color and when I get dressed I do not think of what colors match; rather what color is missing. That is just how my mind works when it comes to fashion/color and patterns..oxox How has your style changed since high school?
