Philadelphia Street Style: Tymbre, Walnut St

Tymbre is wearing a Keith Haring cap from Obey, a thrifted camouflage jacket, a shirt by Club Monaco, a watch by Michael Kors, Forever 21 jeans, and boots by Ecote. Rather than asking people the specific brands they wear, lately I've been saying simply "Tell me about what you're wearing." Most people interpret this as "What brands are you wearing?" They've read street style blogs. They know the drill. But not everyone. Sometimes I get stories about friends' trips to Guatemala, childhoods in Nepal, and the grandparents of roommates. Sometimes I get impassioned tales of thrift store adventures. And sometimes I get very little. Not everyone, after all, has anything to say about their clothes. 

It's also interesting to see how readily people are able to recount the details of the items they're wearing. Some people could probably rattle them off in their sleep. Others have to concentrate intently, or actually look at the labels to find out. I'm not sure what that says about them, but I'm sure it says something.
