Meet Miss Poppins

I managed to squeeze in an hour at the Christmas Market in Belfast yesterday afternoon, in what was otherwise an busy, emotional and stressful day.
This young lady caught my eye by her demeanour, rather than her outfit, at first. She appeared dumbstruck/enchanted/mesmerised by the French stall holder's actions (rubbing a clove of garlic against a small grid on a plate) and stood stock still for quite some time.
Her clothing was reminiscent of a drawing by Moebius and/or Mary Poppins. Her red felt pith helmet-stylehat and knitted red woollen dress, along with her black leather gloves, black leather bag and her butterfly design black tights lent her an aura of another age or time. I might almost expect her to be the Doctor's next assistant.
Unfortunately I was shooting black and white JPEGs at the time and after three shots, she disappeared into the crowd. I toyed with asking her to pose for me but firstly, that would have corrupted the whole ethereal experience and secondly, I'm chicken (with major rejection issues, lol).

Here are a couple more from yesterday:

Handbags and Glad Rags

Giant

Marketeers!
