This woman told me she was (but I’d like to say is) a model.  She looks pretty stunning to me. I especially like the large circular earring that she shows off by draping her hair to one side beneath her newsboy cap.

A radiant ensemble of warm colors.  This woman stood out among Vancouver winter grays and blacks.  Notice how her printed pashmina and handbag highlight her beautiful hair.

I met this woman at the mall, a great place to spot hot senior fashion. She told me she collects antique jewelry. She believes jewelry retains the energy of its previous owner and warned me to be wary of my purchases.

In other matters, this is an opportunity to bring up the topic of fur.

I’m not a fan of fur. I don’t think that it has a place in the fashion world today, what with the diversity of fiber options we have available to us. That is not to say that it doesn’t look fabulous, because it does. I also believe, that for an older generation it remains relevant; it represents a time and place where fur was once guilt free glamour. In conclusion, I am sitting on the fence.

Further discussion is much welcome.
