It’s amazing what a scarf can do for an outfit.  Just a little touch of color and class goes a long way, especially in winter when we are all bundled up.  I love how this yellow scarf complements the flare of this woman’s skirt.

This bright red coat and big black fur hat drew me in from almost a block away – I couldn’t resist.  Two colours I adore (I know, I know, black isn’t a colour!).  Can you believe this woman is 89?  She radiates youthfulness!

This woman looks fit for the runway, or at least a busy Manhattan street.  Check out a close up of her classy faux-fur coat and white sunglasses below. Chic.

I was having family dinner with my my in-laws and Gran came in this wonderful blue suit which she claims is as old as she is. While her memory has suffered with old age, she never fails to have the most put-together outfits.  She often wears these beautiful blue gemstone earrings which complement her red hair.
