Wildly Colorful

This look isn’t typically my thing, but I absolutely love the colors and the matching shoes to skirt and jacket to hat. Also, have you noticed how seniors always have reusable totes? And we blame the older generations for not getting wise to the environmental movement…they have perpetuated the movement by using good ol’ fashion good-sense.

Summer Whites: The New Sunscreen

July 22nd, 2009

jul 22 summer whites 379x600 Summer Whites: The New Sunscreen

This woman uses lightweight fabrics instead of sunscreen to keep her skin cells from mutating in 100 degree heat. Luckily, it’s also a great look!

Her knit top is cute on its own but the way she ties it at the front makes this woman a style goddess. Her yellow wooden bracelet is icing on the cake.

A note about socks ‘n sandals: this perennial footwear DON’T is disappointing on such a stylish subject but I’m sure she has a great excuse because the rest of her look is amazing.

This man should have a date on his arm!  Apparently he usually wears a suit jacket, but I’m loving the warmth of his pink shirt.  A great color to compliment the brown fedora.

At the Mall

july 09 mall pose 398x750 At the Mall

I spotted Joan at the mall.  The combination of her black beret, large shell necklace and striped shirt makes me think of Paris, crowded city streets and leisurely meals with wine.  Joan used to frequent piano bars while accompanying her husband on business trips and dabbled in modeling when she was young.

South Granville

jul 2 09 south granville 449x600 South Granville

With a Mercedes to the left and a Lexus to the right, this woman’s High Street vibe blends in with the scenery. A working woman in her 60′s, she believes in timeless classics that’ll last for years. Ephemeral style is for the birds!

Black flats and a knee-length pleated skirt — always in style — are zazzed up with purple glass beads and contemporary sunglasses.
