Welcome to a street style blog, organic rural Maine style!

This blog is a testament to my passion for two things that might seem incongruous but are actually completely in sync: the
Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener Association's Common Ground Country Fair, and street style.

Welcome to Common Ground 2015!



Like Arielle, I didn't get around to posting my pics after the fair last year, but she encouraged me to do it now, even if it's late. I took a year off for 2016, but I'll be back next year with more pictures!
(Taking pictures means you forget to get pictures of yourself, but here's the best example I had of my outfit last year. Getting some rest from all the walking!)

It was a little hard to get everyone looking in the same direction for a picture, but the overalls and slouchy sweater deserved attention. 


Fiber Arts Fashion


There are a lot of dreads at the fair, and scarves too. This was a particularly nice case of both.

Comfortable Style


I think the most fun part of photographing people is seeing their reaction to being told they're going to go on a style blog. Now and then someone says no, but mostly, people are surprised and a little pleased. There's a lot of slightly embarrassed posing and blushing. It's cute.
But this guy's beautiful hair and laid-back style. So cool. 


Button Collection


The fringed leather boots, the scarf and plaid shirt, and the bracelets were already a sweet look, but the buttons on her bag made me really stop and look. A pretty great collection.


The Garden Parade



We can't forget the Garden Parade, featuring some of the best in vegetable fashion, and some very enthusiastic children. Sometimes very enthusiastic adults, too. I was a cabbage this year (2016).

Pedich Edhellen?


Such an elfin look, I had to break out the Sindarin. I love her color combinations and the overall rugged elegance of her fashion choices. Clearly someone we should all be friends with.
