...but the citizens of downtown Birmingham might beg to differ. This is a town of affluence- as can be seen by the designer diaper bags carried by moms in the park, the price listings on the real estate market, The Townsend Hotel (aka the go-to spot for any and all celebrities staying in Oakland County), and the price tag on… well, just about anything in any store on Main Street. There’s a big contrast here between the obvious locals and the casual shoppers from out-of-town. But that’s not to say they’re not any less important- economically or fashionably. Like a migrating flock of birds, these outsiders play their part in downtown Birmingham perhaps without even realizing their effect.

But there were also a greater number of casual statements to be found- my favorite of which being high-waisted cut-off shorts. They made a much bigger impact than their common low-cut, cuffed counterparts that I had to stop and take a second look. Wearers of the trend love that they’re enabled to wear cropped shirts without necessarily revealing more skin, and that the shorts have a really cool vintage feel (as a matter of fact, lots of girls look for such shorts specifically in stores like The Salvation Army, because such styles aren’t uncommon there and available for next to nothing).

To keep it brief: the women of Birmingham certainly know how to dress themselves. From the accessories at The Pink Pump to the shoes of Tender, downtown hosts every store needed to create a head-to-toe look. Next week I’ll be back with a new city and perhaps a few purchases of my own. Until then, readers, keep it classy :)
