• Who they are: Nikita Rocawich (L) and Raegan Nellor
• What they’re wearing: On Nikita, a white cotton dress purchased at shopbop.com, a woven red belt by Milk and earrings from Street Fair. On Raegan, a bubble tube top and cropped pants, both from Nordstrom, and earrings from Street Fair.
• Why we love it: Happily, Asheville provides the occasional warm day in the middle of winter, perfect for test-driving springtime looks. Nikita spices up flowing white with red accents, while Raegan goes for edgy dark colors. Both keep things casual with flip-flops and fun jewelry.
