When we spotted Erin Lyon’s electric orange sweater jacket from two blocks away on Thursday afternoon, we gave chase down Northeast 28th Avenue to get a closer look (rest assured we at The Neat Sheet hop high hurdles to bring you style stories from the streets of PDX).
We finally caught up to Lyon, and in [...]

Look closer: Kelly Slank’s hair is purple, and we couldn’t be more delighted!
We spotted Slank in the Pearl District Saturday, strolling past Jamison Square during the neighborhood’s annual Bunny Hop shopping event. While parents led little girls in pink dresses and rabbit ears from store to store for Easter treats, Slank unwittingly wore her own [...]

Spring arrived a day early to Portland this year, and Eden Dawn Killen is one of the many fashionable gals we spotted on Southeast Belmont Street making the difficult wardrobe transition from cool weather to warm.
“I had to dig into my summer closet today,” Killen said. Summer closet? She has a whole summer closet?! It [...]

Let’s talk about Day Tresvant’s pants.
We found this fashion risk taker in downtown Portland Saturday afternoon, rockin’ baggy, drop-crotch jeans from Only Denim (a Danish brand known for blurring the line between masculine and feminine), which she picked up on a trip to China. Faded jeans with a saggy crotch and asymmetrical zippers is a [...]

A cold, grey front may be moving back in, but spring sprang in Portland for one glorious Saturday, when gals about town tucked flowers behind their ears, hopped on their bikes and pedaled fast to catch the sun.
Anya Hankin was one such pretty pedaler, who we found moving at fast clip in a blur of [...]

We love meeting a gal with the keen fashion insticts to mix military touches with menswear, then top it all off with cherry red lipstick and stroll down Northwest 23rd Avenue like she invented Saturday afternoon.
Meet Madison High School senior Tiffany Perry, who says fellow students think her style is “weird” because she’s often able [...]

The Neat Sheet played a fun little game of Frogger on Northeast Broadway Friday, racing through traffic to catch Meredyth Jensen, whose tall brown riding boots, faux-fur trimmed vest and brunette crop we spotted from a block away. We finally caught up with Jensen at an ATM machine to ask about her outfit, which was money.
Jensen, [...]

When we spotted Alison Hawley wearing “jeggings” on Lower East Burnside Saturday afternoon, we pulled right over to ask her what she thinks of the denim-meets-leggings trend we covered just last week. Turns out Hawley, who owns Frank James boutique and was hanging out in front of her shop on a coffee break, much prefers jeggings [...]

Portland State University student Beryl Bessemer and her boyfriend went out looking for adventure in Southeast Portland this week, and they found it when Neat Street nabbed Bessemer to ask about her casually chic (and very Portland) Bohemian style.
Bessemer, who is enrolled in Middle Eastern Studies and Spanish at PSU, says her layered look is [...]

Aspiring designer Bre Wagner whipped past us in The Pearl District this week, on the fashion fast track in happy stripes and badass boots. We chased her down (literally), and learned she works as a server/bartender in Northwest Portland, and she enjoys burning her paychecks in The Pearl.
Wagner, who moved to Portland from the Eugene [...]
