"One trend that is never going to go away here is looking smart. Wearing glasses, that kind of nerdy cool will always be popular. It's a very bookish kind of town and this is the only place I've ever lived where I see people reading while walking down the street all the time. People here love to be informed and well-read, and I think that kind of academic nerdiness will always be fashionable."
Lisa Warninger, photographer of Urban Weeds, in an interview with CNN.com
I love what Lisa had to say about Portland style. I always smile to myself as I ride the bus in the morning. It's like being in a hip library on wheels. Everyone is dressed in their best business-casual (sweaters, black leggings, and oxfords ... not a pants-suit in sight) holding Portland's favorite accessory, a paperback book.
I Love Portland's favorite accessory :) Brilliant!

Lisa: Thanks! You know I'm a big fan. Sometimes I ask myself when I get dressed in the morning "is this outfit Urban Weeds worthy?"
