Dear S.LC. Pomp Reader,
Frances and I would like to take a moment to update you on our progress. This site has been up for 7 days. We're a little dumfounded by the short time span. In one week, we've managed to average 27 visitors per day, hitting a record of 22 different visits in an hour this weekend. We've had visitors from all over the state, San Antonio, New York City, Portland, and Illinois. Not to mention a couple of people from France and Germany.
In our opinion, that isn't bad at all.
Frances and I traversed Salt Lake City yesterday to find some new photos and, despite a slow day of walking traffic, will be updating tonight or tomorrow morning. Some of you have complained about no new updates. Noted. We're planning on spending as much time as possible this week roaming with camera and notepad in hand.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank each person who has allowed us to invade his/her daily life, answered our questions of "Where's [fill in the article of clothing] from?" and "Where do you shop in Utah?", and posed for photos without the opportunity to primp or prepare. You all look adorable.
Keep checking back. We're enjoying your interest almost as much as we enjoy taking these photos.

The 1st Entry
Welcome to S.L.C. Pomp, a street style blog based in Utah. In our recent travels (Caitlin now attends college in Los Angeles while Frances has spent time in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Las Vegas for different reasons in the past year) we've noticed an air of mystery surrounding our little hometown. We're asked if we're Mormon. We're asked if we've ever seen a polygamist. Sometimes, we'll get something more original like:
No one ever asks us about the music or fashion scene. Well, we have both. We also have a broad base of bicycle-riding, downtown-walking 20somethings. We intend to fill this blog with photos of them.
Yes, there are Mormons. Missionaries, sisters, bishops. Contrary to popular belief, they have particularized fashion as well. As we break down what people are wearing, you might note "The DI" in several of the lists. The abbreviation refers to a chain thrift store, Deseret Industries, run by the Church of Latter Day Saints. Groups of female missionaries from all over the world bring unique fashion perspective to Temple Square. Sometimes, the only thing that distinguishes a hipster boy in a tweed suit and converses from Elder Smith is one small, black name tag with a Temple imprint.
This is Salt Lake City. Not New York, Milan, or Tokyo. This city represents a fashion divide on every downtown street between religion, style, and scene. Welcome.
