La Dame en Bleu

I was shopping with a friend the other day when I spotted this woman in blue through the shop window.

Not quite my style, but I admire women who have the guts to dress like this.

And you?

The title is a reference to Michel Delville's 1973 film with Michel Piccoli and Lea Massari, which you can read about here.   It's a story about obsession....  Nothing good on Youtube!
