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.

I think this woman pulls off the sophisticated yet casual look quite gracefully.  And even though stripes have been crowding the wardrobe of late, I think they add a smart finish to this outfit.

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.
