Senior Fashion

Add ImageI was hesitant (yes, it does happen to me!) to sneak a shot of these two ladies from the front, so you have here a rear view. They looked like very good, long-term friends, and were stylishly dressed in their soft woolen coats and matching berets.

I've added a new blog on my sidebar, though not a CDP one, and if you want to see some really, really fashionable elder citizens, check out Ari Seth's ADVANCED STYLE. You won't be sorry....

Ela and Olga made for a very charming, styling photo! I wonder how long they've been friends? Think of the stories they could tell!

Thanks, Bibi. I love reading your blog, even though I don't often comment. Your observations of people are wonderful!

Luis Gomez said...

I guess we were both into fashion today. Very nice shot Bibi.

I bet that they know a thing or two!

You just have to learn to be sneakier with your candid shots. But as usual, you've done well. I especially like the reflection.

These ladies are very chic (and respectfully shot by you)! Re the help with links: Anytime, мој пријатељ!
(Turnabout's fair play, as they say.)

Looking forward to looking the same way one day!

When he lived in France, «Louis» noticed that many of the senior ladies all seemed to share the same navy blue coat. As «Louis» far from qualifies as being 'junior', he is NOT making fun of seniors!

Besides, Seniors have talent!.

I found Ari's blog a few months ago .. he is a charmer .. and I love the shot of the two ladies ... so chic!

I think this is a lovely shot; probably better from the back than the front. They are elegant ladies for sure and they're walking down a beautiful street!

I did go to Ari's site...I like your people shots better!

Re your comment on Ocala...I'm almost as sneaky as you are when it comes to taking photos...but sometimes I hide behind a post or a tree! ;-))

Love this stealth photo, and as you know, I am a master of the sneaky shot. I do sometimes ask politely and most always am told "yes" unless it is in one of the shops.

Keep it up and please share any sneaky techniques you might have... hehehe.

Bisous,
Genie

Love this and also love Seth's blog - sort of The Sartorialist with age. Very good idea. Thanks for the link.

THE ROOF CAVED IN....

 Well, not the entire roof. Just the back side, which is not visible here. Every year I make a gingerbread house. Notice I said 'made,...
