This is Aunt Belle Burnham - named after my great aunt. 

Even though she is well past her prime and she a little more rounded than in her youth, she has never lost her sense of style and grace. 

She is sporting a deep golden brown and black silk brocade walking toilette trimmed in vintage black lace. 

She is wearing a matching black hat and carrying her black purse

She does need her walking cane to steady herself, but Aunt Belle insists that it is trimmed in gold with a crystal handle.
