Dance Partners

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!

Pin Striped Suit

Though still very dapper in his pin striped suit, there is also a distinctly playful element to this man’s wardrobe.  And you know what, I like it.  Leather gloves poking out of his pocket,  patterned tie, bright colored vest, a paperboy cap and a maple leaf pin sure works for me.

My friends joke that this isn’t really a seniors fashion blog, but rather a hat blog.  What can I say, I’m a sucker for a man in a fedora!  Doesn’t he look great?

Charming Couple

We usually don’t shoot couples, but I couldn’t resist this delightful pair. I love the combination of reds and pinks that this woman is wearing.  Notice the way her boots, headband and pink collar all tie together. What I also loved about this woman is that she referred to her companion as her “prince.”  And what a handsome prince he is!

Love these colors together!  Like many fashionable seniors out there, this man was surprised when I asked to take his photo.  His reply was, “I never spend a lot of money on clothes.”  Well who says you need to spend a lot of money to look great?

At the Mall

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.

Leopard Spots and a Chapeau

I’ve always appreciated an experienced thrift queen! Doesn’t she look lovely? According to this lady’s walking companion, she can throw together quite the ensemble if you give her some time in a thrift store.   There was even talk of a five dollar fashion show…

After the tenth day of fog, head-to-toe tartan mixed with a bit of houndstooth just made sense.  The Highlands weren’t far from anyone’s mind.

This woman’s style often inspires compliments, she told us. So our interest in taking her photo came as no surprise.  She let us snap a few photos before she went off to feed the ducks.
