This summer pin-striped suit caught my eye right away.  It was purchased in the southern states over 30 years ago but doesn’t look a day old.  The handsome man wearing it told me that his ensemble always reminds him of his father who said, “A cane and a hat is the definition of leisure!”

My Grandma and I were in Jacksonville, Oregon – a historic city since the late 1800s – we found a bench in the sun in front of an old bank. She’s always got one of her pairs of glasses on and always has a different pair of earrings on… easy on the lens.

This woman looks fit for the runway, or at least a busy Manhattan street.  Check out a close up of her classy faux-fur coat and white sunglasses below. Chic.

This would-be chic sailor was walking the seawall when I spotted him in the distance.  As I took his picture a woman on a near by bench asked, “Have I seen you on TV?”  I think we can all agree, with fashion like this, Angelo certainly looks famous.  I adore his head to toe white, stripes and suspenders!

We keep running into this woman around town and every time we see her she looks great!  Love the lace tights and red accents.

I absolutely love this caramel, houndstooth ensemble, not to mention the matching glasses.  Anna bought this Escada “short suit” years ago while in Europe. She explained that she feels “it’s a timeless piece that has kept in fashion throughout the years.” I’d have to agree with her…..she looks fantastic!

While enjoying a sunny day on the seawall, I took notice of this woman because of her black knee high socks.  This has always been one of my favourite looks but I never feel like I can pull it off.  She has most certainly put a good look together – not only the socks but  the trench, scarf, glasses and hat create a perfect ensemble for a Sunday afternoon seawall stroll.

This couple just looked too wonderful for me to let them walk past me without taking their picture.  Notice that they each have polka dot print shirts beneath their blazers.  Very charming.

I spotted this woman’s beautiful mink coat from behind and followed her across a busy New York crosswalk until I was able to ask for her picture.  When she turned around I was even more pleased to see the deep red sunglasses and lipstick.  Very glamorous.

I love this woman’s curls. She takes the common older woman’s perm and lets it go long.  It shaves off at least a few decades. I was shocked to find out her age.  Her leather jacket and tortoiseshell sunglasses are also age defying.
