Red

This svelte lady just picked up her senior’s card. Her eye-catching mix of reds and pinks is yet more proof that this color combination is an indubitable fashion DO!

This couple just looked too wonderful for me to let them walk past me without taking their picture. Notice that they each have polka dot print shirts beneath their blazers. Very charming.

A retired PR agent, this woman knows the impact of a sharp outfit. The hard soled shoes, blue paisley scarf, cropped bob and leopard print cap are totally in style. Brown cords and black leather gloves give her a bit of an edge. And just look at the way she’s standing — she’s got confidence in spades! None of this clothing looks new but it comes together beautifully. She’s simply amazing and, long story short, I’d like to emulate her style one day.

On a recent trip to Florida, I met Nancy while out on a little shopping trip to Target. I loved her bold mix of colors and matching accessories (from her earrings all the way down to her sandals), but most of all I love her fabulous “do”!

Originally from France, this woman has tailoring in her blood. She designed her own clothing as a child and later made one-of-a-kind pieces for clients. Her hair, however, is what stops people on the street. Luscious!!

This woman told me she was (but I’d like to say is) a model. She looks pretty stunning to me. I especially like the large circular earring that she shows off by draping her hair to one side beneath her newsboy cap.

I spotted this woman’s beautiful mink coat from behind and followed her across a busy New York crosswalk until I was able to ask for her picture. When she turned around I was even more pleased to see the deep red sunglasses and lipstick. Very glamorous.

A radiant ensemble of warm colors. This woman stood out among Vancouver winter grays and blacks. Notice how her printed pashmina and handbag highlight her beautiful hair.

I love this woman’s curls. She takes the common older woman’s perm and lets it go long. It shaves off at least a few decades. I was shocked to find out her age. Her leather jacket and tortoiseshell sunglasses are also age defying.
