Denver style!

January 18, 2013 bshigley Leave a comment

I love seeing the stylish people that I meet on the streets out and about during the course of the day!

This is Becca who works at the law firm a block from the Fashion Denver office. The beginning of the week it was 3 degrees. Yesterday (when I took this photo), it was in the 50’s. One thing about Denver is you always have to layer! I love her sophisticated and classy style with the pop of color in her shirt andtexture in her skirt. Her over the shoulder handbag is perfect to pull the outfit together and the side braid with loose bangs is intelligent and fun.
