Violet Folklore Style Sirens- The Sassiest Girls In Our Myspace World

From Sasha at Violet Folklore

Our friends on our Violet Folklore Myspace are the epitome of courageous style and unchained creativity. Check out some of the amazing ladies who have been rocking our world this week!!!

Nicole, East South of England

Nicole has the uncanny ability to create both style and amazing character in her photographs. In fact, sometimes she seems to live in an alternate universe! And can we talk about how awesome this outfit is, with the unlikely yet perfect pairing of a formal sweater/suit/tie top with utterly casual shorts and shoes?!?!?

Violet Folklore: How would you describe your style?

Nicole: I don't know to be honest. I like to be creative or I try it, haha :)

VF: What are your favorite kinds of vintage clothing?

Nicole: Vintage hats or shoes

VF: What are you listening to right now?

Nicole: Fall for you – Secondhand Serenade

Janet, Minnesota

With her unworldly blond tresses and fondness for the dreamiest of color palettes, one might wonder if Janet is in fact a land-locked mermaid! In this picture, Janet takes interior decorating to new levels…

Violet Folklore: How would you describe your style?

Janet: Different. Some people like it, some people don't. I don't even know what to say because it can be so different from one day to the next, haha. One day I could just be wearing my dad's old sweats with my mom's old sailor sweater, and the next day I might be wearing tights, a skirt and a sweater vest with another one of my mom's sweaters on top. But it must be good, because I was voted best dressed in my class 4 years ago! Hehe :)
VF: What's your favorite item of vintage clothing?

Janet: I love all of my mom's old jackets, vests, and sweaters. She was born in the 50's and we are also born Germany. So many of her clothes are a treasure to me, especially because they're so different and one-of-a-kind around where I live.
VF: What are you listening to right now?

Janet: Currently, Car Crash by Josh Rouse. My overall playlist at the moment is a mixture of the soundtracks from Grey's Anatomy, Garden State, Wicker Park, Juno, and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. (With a little Tokyo Police Club, Foxy Shazam, and Architecture in Helsinki thrown in of course!) Continue Reading... (1410 words + 8 images, estimated 5:38 mins reading time)
