Streetwalker: Design Duo

design duo small.jpg Karen and Mehee, designers for The Limited

Got Them: At Bleeker and Broadway

Stalked Them: Because first one caught our eye and then the other - We love a pair of friends who manage to look chic in completely different ways.

Shot Them: Because Mehee's slouchy pants and oversized t-shirt look insanely comfortable for this weather, and retain a certain breezy coolness. Plus, kudos for carrying her lunch in a cloth bag! Karen, on the other hand, totally pulls off the urban safari look. We're usually not such fans of totally matching accessories, but in this case her matching brown belt and sandals look cute, not corny.

They say: "We're on lunch break. We're actually designers."

We say: It shows.

I don't think Mehee's outfit is flattering on her frame at all. I love Karen's though! Yay for urban safari dresses

Super cute and remarkable. I like Mehee's sandals too.
Super skinny Karen must be a runner look at the watch.

I really like both outfits. Especially the safari one, but Meehee's is also nice and super-casual, though not something I'd wear to work.

Great looks! Happy to see pictures of people that look fabulous without trying so hard. Like the Safari dress, wondering if it is vintage or new?

nice to see friends with their own individual styles. both styles look effortless. nice necklace on karen. my guess is her safari look is vintage (except for the shoes of course)

it's nice to see Fashionista take the time to admire regular people. dress your best people out there, because you never know when you might get photographed.
