On the Streets: Charleston, South Carolina

{by Hailey Sadler}

Technically, it was a business trip. But it was also a wander-the-streets-take-photos-of-everyone’s-outfits trip. And in case you haven't been there, Charleston is pretty fantastic for fashion watching. Supposedly voted number one city for young professionals, it is a happening place and the streets reflect that. Crowded and busy Kings Street is my favorite, and if it weren’t for the enticing shops full of magical things like neon tights and boots that are buy one get one 50% off, I think I would sit down somewhere and just people watch. As it was, I did manage to play the fashion photographer between purchases, so here is a taste of what’s rocking Kings Street, Charleston, SC. 
Photography Disclaimer: All shots were taken somewhat in haste due both to the distractions of shopping as well as to an [none too successful] attempt at surreptitiousness. So don't judge. :)

Cool cowgirl boots.

Can anyone say messenger bag?
my favorite.

Bright pants were prevalent....




After all, stripes are in. [This dog had so much attitude].

I want a red coat.

And a white one.


Tiger ears are always.... charming?

Skirts!

Gray + coral= one of my favorite color combinations

Pure perfection.

The sniper herself gets shot :)

  2. what cool photos,lots of variety and interesting syles. that must've been a fun trip and a perfect time of year for a fashion photo-sniper because it was Fall enough to dress the part but not so cold that everyone was all bundled up.
