Refurbished Skirt
Friday, August 20, 2010

There is so much to say about this woman! The skirt was a dress she wore in the ’60s. She converted it to a skirt because she doesn’t like to go sleeveless anymore. At 78, she’s a retired geological engineer and an art lover who weaves tapestries in her spare time. She finds store-bought clothing hard to fit, so she makes her own. She has a city home and country home (teeming with tapestries) and she takes her creative cues from the Coast Mountains. Phew, what a stylish and interesting character!
This is an amazing photo! I love how she looks in the urban environment; she’s a little bit country, a little bit city, an appropriate representation of Vancouver living.
