The September Phillips After 5 involved a color block contest which featured outfits that were influenced by Ellsworth Kelly paintings. Sully Engelhart was our top choice because of her splashy sweater. She visited the museum from Miami and I had the chance to interview about her outfit.

Josh Navarro: How would you describe your style?

Sully Engelhart: My daily basis style is always something very, very, comfortable. I bought the sweater I’m using in the picture at Target! I love the high-low style!

JN: What are your favorite shops in Miami?

SE: I love J.Crew, BCBG, Zara and for a high-end investment, The Webster Miami.

JN: Please describe your outfit in this photo.

SE: In this photo I’m wearing a Lacoste polo, the sweater is from Target (believe it or not), my pants are Calvin Klein, and my purse and shoes are from Prada.

Josh Navarro: How would you describe your style?

Raphaela Guzman: Part of me always tries to keep it classy, but I’m incapable of taking myself seriously. My weakness for florals and the bright colors usually runs the show, so my style ends up being kind of kooky. Sometimes I pick certain colors or patterns because they are evocative of things I wore as a kid, and I take comfort in them.

JN: Any favorite shops around town?

RG: My favorite places are two quirky little shops in Takoma Park called Now and Then and S&A Beads. I always walk away with an awesome handmade scarf or bracelet, or a witty bag.

JN: What are you wearing in this shoot?

RG: A J.Crew chambray shirt, Silence + Noise floral skirt, red tights from Modcloth, grey and white Dr. Marten’s oxfords, a periwinkle Casio watch, and François Pinton glasses.

STYLE PROFILE: OMAR MASRI

I chose to photograph Omar Masri, the friendly face of Tryst at the Phillips, because he gets to dress like himself at work. His casual style is always visible.

Josh Navarro: How would you describe your style?

Omar Masri: Omar’s style: European sensibility that’s progressed into a hipster aesthetic. I have over 20 pairs of shoes, from sneakers to oxfords and toms. I grew up in a family that is fashion forward and dresses up for every occasion, from going to the grocery store to cocktail parties or just lounging at the house. Everyone was always dressed up. I feel that way about my style with a relaxed flair; throwing on a pair of comfortable Asics Onitsuka Tigers or Adidas Sambas, Levi 511 jeans or shorts, and Penguin shirts.

JN: Any favorite shops in the city?

OM: You can never go wrong with Buffalo Exchange for last minute ideas before a party or dress it up at All Saints in Georgetown.

JN: What are you wearing in this shoot?

OM: Penguin shirt, 511 navy blue jeans, and black and white Adidas Sambas.
