Nerissa’s had these shoes since she was in 10th grade! She got them from Buffalo Exchange. Her amazing coat is from the Sazz Vintage Warehouse. I wish I had gotten the scoop on her earrings, too. Alas. She’s one of the first people I stopped, and I was kind of flustered. I still am, to be honest. I’m looking forward to the day when I can talk to a stranger and think more quickly to be more engaging in conversation.

I happened to catch Nerissa on her lunch break. She told me that she works five different jobs right now. That’s a situation I’m familiar with, and I really respect and appreciate that she took time out of her busy day to let me snap a few shots.

Montse is from Barcelona and seemed to just be visiting Philly. She told me that she isn’t really into fashion, but she likes to mix in pieces from new designers in Barcelona who are still relatively unknown. 
Montse is wearing Vans that she bought in Philly the day before we met and a scarf that she borrowed from her sister. Her shirt is from Top Shop, and her shorts are from a Spanish department store, similar to Zara. Her super cozy poncho, which I am completely in love with, is by a designer in Barcelona whose name she couldn’t recall at the moment.

Hamida is a student in New York. She’s studying Global Studies and Film at The New School.

“I like a lot of frumpy, very boho clothes lately, especially for the winter,” she said. She told me that her clothes are mainly thrifted, but she also finds pieces at Urban Outfitters, “to step it up” a bit. Her scarf is from Urban, and everything else is thrifted. I asked her what she would wear if she had to wear one thing for a week, and she said, “A huge coat, probably.” I don’t blame her. She looks both cozy and playful. The last photo is one of my favorites that I’ve taken so far. Her joy is infectious.
