Street Style: March
I love the cold! I was raised in the cold – upstate New York – so snow, freezing rain, hail and wind don’t scare me. But this March, by any standards – two Nor’easters in two weeks – has tested the most stalwart of souls. Winds swept by at speeds that made the Oriole bird complain. People bundled with scarves, coats swaddled chilled bones, socks covered naked ankles, hats wrapped frozen ears. But Baltimore’s sartorially inclined – as well as some visitors to our Charm City – brought sparks of color, polka dots, vibrant striped and printed scarves, and quirky glasses to provoke our fashion senses. Spring, it is a comin!! As the sun came out a little here and there, crocuses tentatively peeked green leaves through winter’s cold earth, and cherry blossoms shot fuchsia polka dots against a brightening sky and Baltimore’s streets began to fill with happy folks ready to awaken from winter’s cocoon.
