  3. This dress has so many cool details that I didn't notice at first glance as I was taking in the amazing pattern. I love the cut of the shoulders and the interesting cut-out delicate neckline.

    thanks also for being more diverse in the past week or so - I really appreciate seeing stylish people of all ages, not just 20-something art students/baristas that seem to be taking over PDX.

  4. Hi Maija!

    I'm so glad you like our Weeds this week. We really do try our very best to get a diverse mix of people... but it's a lot harder then it seems. If you have any suggestions on where we should be going let us know! We would love to hear any ideas! :)

    Love this woman! She is the most authentic person here, every one else is just trying too hard.

  9. I always have to pipe in on the "trying too hard" comments. I fully disagree. I feel that one should "try" to look presentable upon leaving the house. I applaud personal style. Everyone on Urban Weeds is authentic. Everyone has their own culture and style. Everyone on the site makes an attempt to look nice when they walk out the front door. Kudos to all of them.
