Sidewalk Style!

Tuesday, November 20, 2007

Hi PBers! I wanted to share some exciting news with you. Washingtonian.com has asked me to be a regular fashion contributor for their site. I’ll be doing a column called Sidewalk Style that embraces Project Beltway’s mission to celebrate individual fashion found on the streets of DC. In addition, I’ll cover some local events for the site.

Sidewalk Style will include an interview with my ambushed ‘sidewalker’ as well as a breakdown of their outfit – something I think a lot of you will enjoy.

I want to thank you all for you support of PB and thought you would happy to know that our debates and appreciation for personal expression through fashion is making a big impact and is reaching a broader audience. Project Beltway has certainly enlightened me and made me appreciate how many smart & interesting people you walk past on the street every day. I hope it has done the same for you!

Don’t worry, PB is here to stay and will remain a place for all of us to laugh, argue and learn. I’ll just be working more ;) .

As always, send me your ideas and thoughts and keep the comments coming – without you, PB is just another blog. Check out this week’s Sidewalk Style featuring Marvin’s general manager, Sheldon Scott.

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll be back next week if not before.

XO

Rachel

    Congrats Rachel. That’s a coup for you.

    I like Sheldon’s style. It’s not mine, but he has a good look going on. My one complaint: the “tie clip” being that high is so obviously an affectation. Not to mention that he’s wearing a sweater and hence has no need for something to hold his tie down. But he looks good both in the suit and dressed down a bit.

    Keep up the great work.

    Congrats!! You know, you should profile Corey Ohlendorf – The Post’s shopper writer for the style section. I just met him after running into him shooting with some models downtown for an upcoming piece and he was really cool and dressed sharp. Plus he’s got a cool website. -Michael.
