I really like the structure of her top/jacket. Very nice. It’s also nice to see someone embrace the gray hair. There’s no need to worship at the altar of youth. Your own or someone else’s.
Her hair is really so beautiful…i love the all grey look, i’ve been trying to talk my friends who are all grey to just go for it! what great inspiration… Dolly Varden
Wow!! I love how she styled her hair!! What caught my attention almost instantly though i how her handbag isnt small like most women have…its actually pretty big and she carries it like carrying a carry-on at the airport!!
Where to start?!? Love the pattern in the jacket/top. I just saw a Rex Ray exhibit so the oval cutouts remind me of that. The bold necklace is perfect and I do like the softness of the bag. Now, the hair. The cut is great, the style dramatic and the color works on her. I would love it if I looked good in what is now my natural color, but my hairdresser and I think not. Because my skin is very fair and I have blue eyes with light brows I would fade away like Casper the little ghost. That’s why not everyone can/or will go grey even though they might want to. Sometimes a statement just isn’t worth it.
It’s very “era specific”! I almost feel like there’s a matching skirt and go-go boots somewhere close by. However she wears it well and is in great shape, as the large dots might not work on a larger frame. Love the natural grey hair-wish more women would allow their own to go.
i debated that bag awhile back — it’s the softest leather, so you have to clutch it like that so all its contents don’t completely weigh it down like a bowling ball!
i actually love everything about her…and i like how the soft clutch counter balances the geometry of her top,necklace and hair…i like how i can look at a person so different from myself in age but still feel inspired to create my own version of this look!
it’s a marni jacket. and i agree with previous commenters, she is the spitting image of suze orman! suze’s look works for suze, i think, but this is an option she could perhaps try? i hope one of her handlers or assistants reads the sart and sends her a link. love the hair on this lady, too. she’s so quintessentially italian. elegant, refined, even with the marni quirkiness.
she is vibrant, confident, elegant. A wonderful moment.
As for her sense of fashion – right on the mark: I noticed the person first, and the clothing second. The clothing only enhances the beautiful person wearing it, does not overpower her.
the sexiest look is honesty. just wear your attitude. seek ye first the right attitude for you, and wear it. and all these things would be added unto you.
Aah, how delightful to see a woman of a certain age so stylish and relaxed about life. Love the fact she has her natural grey hair. Love her! Thanks Sart…
she' s a great woman and she isn't afraid to show it! ever had a great style… Anna, mi farebbe piacere rivederti! io sono sempre al solito "posto" :-) Tiziana C.
Marimekko again! Well, it is the perfect time to wear our lovely cotton Marimekko tops and dresses! I wish more Americans owned and wore Marimekko clothing in addition to just purchasing the fabric. Their cotton clothing and knits are luxurious.
I love this ladies selection of a darker palate with this print, even though white pants would have been wonderful, especially with her choice of bold necklaces.
Her lovely kid leather clutch and dark pants are a perfect monochromatic match with her layered haircut and color.

I love everything she’s wearing — except the purse.
I’ve seen bags like this one before on this site and always thought their poofy silhouette wrecked every outfit they were paired with.
An angular purse as a contrasting geometry with the op art circles motif and her hair would have been perfect.
In my opinion. But would Sart see it as too Nordstrom?
