Back in February 2013, a then-15-year-old Ariel Winter gave fans a glimpse of her emerging off-duty style at the Studio City Farmers Market.
Dressed in a bright “NERD” sweatshirt, denim shorts, and black buckled riding boots, the Modern Family star perfectly captured the early-2010s mix of hipster and Hollywood casual that defined her teenage fashion era.

The then-15-year-old actress — who had recently renewed her contract playing the intelligent and sharp-tongued Alex Dunphy on the hit series, “Modern Family” — was with her sister, Shanelle Gray, and niece, Parker, enjoying a wonderful day at the market.
