Houston is one of the largest cities in the country and at the tip of the grand state of Texas. I had an initial perception of southern living when I first moved here, but that perception altered when I began to see how flagrantly diverse the city is. On every corner stands a boutique restaurant with unique cuisine from across the global scape from a French creperie to a Mexican pastry shop to an Asian-Infused Japanese food truck. One could easily make the claim that Houston is an international food mecca; I’m always ready to take a Texas-worthy sized bite out of the next treat!

Now, when it comes to fashion, Houston is home to a mixed bag of style mavericks – from earthy boho to urban chic and all statements in between. Like many other metropolitan cities, the fashion in Houston is fluid in nature moving like water through pits and falls in the road satisfying the thirst of the concrete jungle and those existing within it. For many, fashion feeds and satisfies our personal desires to differentiate and to express. In a city as large as Houston, everyone is scratching to make a mark on the influential circle.

Geographically speaking, Houston is still a member of the southern club no matter how distinct it is, and thankfully the hospitality still exists! Men and women still hit the streets in leather cowboy boots, but don’t be shocked to see some red soles and Chanel labels within the going crowd of night dwellers in local hot spots.  Houston is definitely flirting with an identity crisis on a global scale, and I’m flattered to be apart of its evolution! 

Captured at Discovery Green, the verdant patch of life, entertainment and activity in downtown Houston, my look hints at southern style with a classic blue jean collared shirt in a relaxed fit.  The details of the skirt capture the feministic charm of the overall look, and the clutch adds complimentary color.
