How often do you see a group of girls that are ALL so well dressed?? Not often in my experience. Usually there's at least one friend in the bunch that wears a sweat suit or a pair of crocs and everyone talks about how embarrassing it is behind her back. I'm guessing these girls don't have that problem.

Each one had an amazing sense of style and somehow, 4 out of 5 of them pulled off a high waisted pant, which is not as easy as they make it look.



To see more pictures from this event, which featured music from The Ting Tings and Empires, check out Style Expose. Style Expose is a very informative Chicago fashion blog managed by the Stitches Fashion Program. Stitches hosted the event and is a great friend to us at The MidWasteland, so go check them out!

If you're not from Chicago, you should probably know that everyone from (or around) the city is incredibly proud of being a native. I can probably name 5 people, off the top of my head, with Chicago flag tattoos and I think 3 of them are transplants.
On that note, speaking as a native Chicagoan, I went to the best art show EVER. At 'HELLO My Name Is CHICAGO: The Art Edition' the room was filled with amazing pieces that depicted Chicago culture. The place was packed and this time I don't think it was for the free booze( Grolsch...eek!)
Doesn't She kind of look like Kim Gordon?




One of the few times I will agree with rain boots.


A "killer" Chicago newspaper stand. AHHHH!

Dearest MidWasteland readers,

I feel like I've posted to apologize for my lack of posts more than I have posted pictures in the last few months. So once again, I will say that I am sorry

By April 1st we will have an even newer format and I promise to upload all of the old pictures that I never got to in Febuary. By then, it will be warm (FINGERS CROSSED) and I be able to run around town to shoot more Chicago street style than the eye can see.

In that interim I urge you all to attend two of the greatest fashion events in Chicago this season.

THURSDAY, MARCH 20TH at The AV-Aerie
EXPOSURE

SATURDAY, MARCH 29TH at Union Station Great Hall
Gen Art presents: SHOP CHICAGO

Hope to see you guys there!
