Mad Women

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.
Boom and Bust (with a hint of Paris)

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.
