Although we don’t typically do pairs, I couldn’t pass up on this dynamic duo.  Her bold prints next to his muted tones made for the perfect balance.  Bill and Vonnie worked in the film industry for several years and were no strangers to the camera – they were more than happy to pose for me.  These two were full of energy which they attribute to their jive dancing classes – it seems to be working for them….they look great!

I spotted this woman reading a paper in the sunshine.  Her headband and aviators drew me in, but I must say I’m also a huge fan of the white gloves and white earrings.

I’d expect nothing less of an opera singer.  He performs every Sunday at Cambrian Hall on Main Street.  Rakish!

A six-days-a-week aerobics regime keeps this 71 year old in top condition!  Her high-rise hat has a magisterial flavor I couldn’t resist and her outfit matches her personality — fun!

Here’s clear evidence that West Coast skate style was inspired by classic utilitarian work wear. These Dickies look like they’ve seen an actual factory or two and the chain is probably holding down a wad of life savings. This man said he’d rather be photographed in his Legion suit but he was obliging nonetheless.  I wish I’d paid attention to his button but I imagine it’s a labour slogan.

Almost 90, this retired ballerina was so incognito I momentarily mistook her for a modern celeb.  Her bowler hat and stage makeup blew my mind.  This beautiful woman was no doubt famous in her prime.

While in the midst of a large group at a rally, this woman stood out from the crowd with her bold fashion statement.  After speaking with Diana, I learned that she began to pick and choose her clothing at the early age of three – her mother told her she was very particular about the clothing she wore.  She loves bold colors and enjoys mixing and matching accessories and jewelry.

I met Marjorie while waiting at the bus stop.  Her blues and browns caught my eye.  She explained that in addition to being fashionable, her leather gloves were a practical barrier from bus germs and they give good grip on railings.  I love outfits that are stylish and practical.
