Posted by Gina Young on Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 2:23 PM

* In which we talk to people on the street about their clothes.

Gina Young: You're adorable. What do you do?
Amy Corwin: I'm the Assistant Fashion Designer and Fabric Coordinator for a major retailer downtown.

GY: Oh wait, so you work in fashion. That's kind of like cheating. Please tell me about these accessories you're wearing?
AC: Haha... Well I found the headband at Urban Outfitters. It was only 5 dollars because the glue was coming off, but I actually think it looks way better this way. I paid them less to do ME a favor. The shoes were Nordstrom Rack for 30 bucks. The top started ripping, so I used doublestick tape. It's not really noticeable, but they're messed up.

GY: Broken seems to be a central component of your look today. And yet it's totally working. What do you wear in this crazy hot weather we've been having?
AC: Really, really short shorts with looser fitting tops. I love that Daisy Dukes are back, but I don't want to look like Jessica Simpson— I like being totally big and oversized and blown out on top. And then just being all legs.
GY: All legs, huh? What does "all legs" do on Friday nights?
AC: Drink. Meet up with friends and go somewhere. The last weekend of June we're having a birthday party with an Oz theme. The guy that I'm dating does costumes. He enjoys dressing up; he's totally into it. He wears little horns like Pan.

GY: Um, do people ever tell you that you look like Kristin Allen-Zito from the Trucks?
AC: All the time! People always say, "Are you related?" That's okay with me— she's incredible!
