Philadelphia Street Style: J. off 17th St

"I usually dress way more conservative than this," J. told me, as we stood at the entrance off an alleyway off of 17th St. "I usually dress like a grandmother."

In this shot, she's wearing boots by Nine West, a dress from The Gap, an army coat from Urban Outfitters' mens line, glasses by Retro Super Future, a Banana Republic bag, and a Gap scarf worn as a head dress. She likes to wear it on those days when she can't quite get her hair right. When she first started wearing a head wrap a few years back, she says, it was for style. Now, it's largely to cover up a style that isn't working.
