This lady bought her sunglasses near St. Marks . They make a great compliment to her red ruffled blouse.

Lucy is one of my favorite people to run into. She always wears her beret and can be seen sitting in the park on most sunny days. Today I saw her on the way to the park and we stopped to chat for a moment. She told me that many people stop and take her picture and that she has been wearing the same flower and beret for over 7 years.

Oftentimes when I am out taking photos I get a sudden rush of excitement when I see someone truly inspiring. Yesterday I saw this wonderful lady in her big blue glasses, sitting in the cafe of the New Museum. I asked if I could take her photo and she gladly posed for a shots, laughing all the while. When I walked her back into the museum she told me that she was waiting for a friend, who happened to be celebrating her birthday. I asked if she was stylish as well and you can see from the photos above that she was a true gem. Both of these ladies were vibrant and full of spirit, not to mention they also have great style. Can you believe that they are 85 and 92 years old!

A great pair of shades look cool no matter how old you are. Don’t be afraid to bring back an eye wear trend, as long as you wear it with confidence, like the guys above.
