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.

I love this woman’s pose! When I was editing the photo I put her in every color imaginable; blue with purple hair, yellow trench with black and white skin, rainbow gradient and I tell you, you can do anything with a trench coat. She has that 1960s look to her that I adore.

Originally from Montreal, but now living in Vancouver, this lady hasn’t lost her flair for French fashion. From head to toe, starting with her black beret, fashionable fur coat (I know – controversial), designer handbag and finishing off with simple black flats – this lady’s got it goin’ on.
I spotted Joan at the mall. The combination of her black beret, large shell necklace and striped shirt makes me think of Paris, crowded city streets and leisurely meals with wine. Joan used to frequent piano bars while accompanying her husband on business trips and dabbled in modeling when she was young.
This woman caught my eye from behind. Her belted brown swing coat with brown pants radiated a boyish 1920s style I don’t often see on older women. Her daughter-in-law picked out the coat but the oversize sunglasses, neckerchief and beret make the outfit all her own — without compromising her up-to-date image.
Her Louise Brooks bob, complete with fringe, cinches the boom-and-bust look. The white beret adds a dash of Montmartre.
