Cherry Blossom Festival - Sasha

I'm always instantly inspired by someone's personal style which separates them from the pack. Sometimes this involves mixing and not matching by society's "suburban standard", yet somehow it works. You rarely ever find this in individuals over a certain age due to careers, loss of inspiration and just plain conforming to generic looks that won't "stir the pot".  It is a young persons right of passage I believe to express their passion for music, culture, and art in their appearance.

Sasha is no exception to this unwritten rule. I immediately noticed her upon entering the 31st Annual Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival browsing some handcrafted woodwork with her parents. One look and I knew this is the kind of girl that must confuse the jocks and "mean girls" of her school with her sense of individuality and personal style. The contrast of the rebellious black topped with the Japanese floral kimono-like shawl, which I presume is hand made (unconfirmed), staying in theme of the season and the Japanese Cherry Blossom. All this accessorized with a bamboo collar necklace and vintage-style headphones a top her  60's classic pixie hair cut. Culturally speaking I'm calling this one "West meets East".

More to come from the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival.
