A red felt beret, with a large silver pin. The pin is in the shape of a star, and studded with blue and white rhinestones.
The woman wearing the hat is 95 years old. Her hair is whiter than white, so white it seems fluorescent. She has a small wrinkled, face with snappy brown eyes in it. Though her lips lost their pout years ago, she wears lipstick in the same patriotic red shade of her hat.
She wears a blue and white striped shirt, the kind French sailors wore when she was a girl, and white pants that have been painstakingly ironed by her devoted great grandson.

Fantastic & crisp...what is this woman doing? Must be the mention of French sailors, but I picture her at the ocean...
