First Entry

Welcome to Street Style Albuquerque! This blog will be a portrait and an appreciation of Albuquerqueans' unique fashion/anti-fashion style, a celebration of personal expression through clothes and appearance, and most of all an encouragement to everyone to make the world a more beautiful place by DRESSING UP. It will focus on The Street because this is where we are seen by the world at large and where we show ourselves day-to-day. I like it when "personal style" trumps "trend", though there's nothing wrong with being a member of the 21st century.

Fashion in Albuquerque plays by its own rules, so let's take a look.
