Slacks

October 2nd, 2010

1oct 10 slacks web 500x666 Slacks

White waffle knit jacket! Mandarin collar! Roll up sleeves! Yes! But what really got me, were the blue slacks. We all know by now, fashion recycles itself; tapered  jeans are in, high waisted pants (what we used to call “mom jeans” back in the ’90s), but I have yet to see fashionistas of the day pulling off a nice pair of ironed slacks. We certainly see a lot of them amongst the silver haired set, like in Cass’ posts Monochromatic Cruisewear and Color.

Black Hat

A smart and playful look – peach pants, orange socks, white shoes and a black hat.  You wouldn’t think they would look great together, but they do!

Suspenders and Stripes

This would-be chic sailor was walking the seawall when I spotted him in the distance.  As I took his picture a woman on a near by bench asked, “Have I seen you on TV?”  I think we can all agree, with fashion like this, Angelo certainly looks famous.  I adore his head to toe white, stripes and suspenders!

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 woman knew “casual chic” long before Katie Holmes (see below).  Her high waisted pants and matching flats, patterned blouse and cardi pull together nicely to create a look that stars are now wearing.

These two are amazing! The outfits, pretty good, the pose, outstanding! These lovely ladies were waiting in pressed pantsuits for a matinee  and demanded that they be photographed together. I now see why.

Red Sunnies

The magnolias are in bloom, the sun is shining and this woman is going the distance to make the day brighter! Great red shades and notice how the red patent leather shoes match the bag perfectly? But it is the wide-leg plaid pants that add an extra layer of complexity to this outfit that makes it great.

What a great mix here!  Designer glasses, scarf and blazer  - add heels, studded leggings, platinum hair with fringe bang and you’ve got one great look!  So glad I caught up with this woman to get her photo!

Cargo Pants

This beautiful grandmother was visiting from Montreal during the hottest recorded February in 115 years (said Peter Mansbridge with a twinkle in his eye, reporting live from the 2010 Winter Olympics).

Everything from her black bomber jacket to her red fingernails to her amber earrings to her cargo pants is stunning.  I hope my hair is this shade of silver one day.
