We love Russel and Brittany's minimalist look. With Brittany in monochrome, and Russel in mixed neutrals, the pair looks simply perfect for a Saturday stroll on Mississippi.
Maya, shopping at Reading Frenzy, wears a Seiko watch with a casual vintage outfit and Tivas. "It's an easy step to dress up outfits," she told us, so she wears it to work every day.
We spotted Isabel right off the bat with her adorable haircut, frock, and chunky platforms. We can't even choose a favorite part of this look!
Jocelyn is a near, dear friend of Backtalk by way of Oakland. She recently took a week-long jaunt to Portland with pal Kate and the two took a moment to stop by the shop before journeying back down the West Coast.
Both of these ladies are completely outfitted in vintage, from knit caps to their trusty leather boots and demonstrate how to layer prints, Kate in brights and Jocelyn in neutrals. Miss you Jocelyn!
New Year's resolutions are all the rage right now. While team BACKTALK is all about the promotion of health and positivity, we'd like to keep our list short this year. In fact, we only made one entry on it and our aim is simple: to pay witness to the testament of style we see on your bods each day.
No longer will we allow your vibrant personal style go unnoticed. YES the time has arrived for Backtalk's street style segment to launch and it is all about you: our beautiful friends, customers and neighbors.
Let's kick it all off with champion thrifter Natalie because her smile is sweet and so are her thrifted hat, boots and Isse Miyake dress.
I've seen a hat like this before; alas, it was on my dad's head a decade ago on a hillbilly fishing adventure. I dig Natalie's integration of this vintage outdoors piece in to her minimalist urban ensemble.
Now bring in your own fashion experiments and fierce style spirits. Much love,
TEAM BACKTALK!
