This retired actress said she performed in Tony n’ Tina’s wedding for five consecutive years! She looks so California with her beaded dress and sun hat and that knock out smile could woo any producer.

The beautiful shawl this woman carries was gifted to her by a friend while en-route to Paris.  Having forgotten a jacket, she used this shawl almost every night and even slept with it a time or two.

This cheerful woman told me she had her picture taken by a stranger last week and the man told her she would be “world famous.” I told her she was certainly on her way to being noticed. This outfit to me is what personal style is all about.

Serenidad

I first saw this man walking down the street and I hesitated to take his picture. At a glance, he had a bit of a crazy look about him, maybe not someone I want to stop on the street. But later that day I found him snoozing in a local thrift shop and when he looked up, I saw only serenity. He agreed to have his picture taken and at a closer look, I think his style is sublime. A gentleman of leisure in his neon track pants and matching striped slip-ons. Also, notice the keys and pocket watch chain safety pinned to his shirt; the perfect articulation of  leisure.

Someone get this man a cigarette boat!  I’m 100% sold on head-to-toe white, especially with the added zing of a sequined tee.  “You made an old man very happy,” he said as I walked away.  You made me happy, sir!  Your style’s a total blast.

My alternative title for this post: Miami Zappa.
