What to wear to the Stonewall Pride March (as seen on Sunday, July 2)
 |
• Who they are: Pork Chop (left) and Lobco
• What they’re wearing: On Lobco, a blue cotton dress made by her grandmother with a patch-pocket she added, argyle socks and black boots; on Pork Chop, an outfit Lobco created — lavender lace top, straw cowboy hat, studded belt and, yes, a white denim mini.
• Why we love it: Lobco’s dress is comfortable, functional and vintage-stylish (reminiscent of Athens, Ga. townies), while Pork Chop proves that mini skirts look best on the narrow-hipped.
 |
• Who she is: Sparrow
• What she’s wearing: A lace-trimmed cami, a skirt created, she says, “from a two-year-old’s party dress” and her favorite leg warmers held up with homemade garters.
• Why we love it: Equal parts Pippi Longstocking, Cyndi Lauper and urban pirate, Sparrow’s festive garb thumbs a nose at fashion convention.
