Sparkly Garden

When I spotted this woman her buttery-white jacket was buttoned to the neck, but I liked those visible dashes of corals, pinks, and oranges. I’m glad she asked if I’d like her coat opened before I took the photo. Look at that garden of colour inside! And her cardigan had gold sparklies all over it. Lovely. This woman works in the insurance industry.

She has Seen the Light

I know this woman from my mornings out and she looked so fabulous today I couldn’t resist some photos. She studied fashion design for a while and is a talented creator: the men’s T-shirt she is wearing she customized by altering the neckline, tying the shoulder, and hand-stitching on red sequins, see photo below. (She has another great hand-sequinned T-shirt of the Port Alberni water bombers.) The bag she sewed from a pattern given to her by a friend, before the days of laptop carriers, and she added red satin criss-cross lacing on the flap, zippers, and animal print lining. Heavenly.

Daytime Sparkle

Nothing like a little sparkle during the day, I say, and how easily this outfit could transition into something you’d wear for a fun night out. This woman is a professional model/actress ready for work and I caught her before her real shoot began. The off-shoulder draping of the top is visually soft and adds great textural contrast.
