Neat street style: Saturday strolling on Mississippi

How adorable is Grace Alie, strolling Mississippi Avenue in her playful coral tunic and yellow sock combo, topped and tamed with a classic trench? Alie, an interior design student at Portland Art Institute, was kind enough to pose for The Neat Sheet’s first ever issue of Neat Street – our new weekly Sunday street style feature.
Alie, who moved to Portland from Chicago about a year ago, said she loves thrift shopping in PDX, and she finds many of the cool things in her wardrobe at the Goodwill Outlet, “The Bins,” in Southeast Portland. Alie found most of the pieces of this outfit there, including the sweet sleeveless coral tunic with asymmetric collar and pretty buttons down the back. Her trench is an H&M purchase from a few years back. And her bold yellow socks with peep-toe pumps? That’s all Alie.
The Neat Sheet will be out and about snapping Portland street style shots from here on out, but you can also submit your own. If you’d like to see yourself or your fashionable friends here, e-mail your local style pics to neatsheet@karenvitt.com.
