Natural-born fashionista, Betty McDonald, a 91-year-old woman from Albany, Georgia, is making the most of her stylish closet during quarantine.
Though Georgia has started to open things back up, McDonald can’t leave her home because she is in a high-risk group. She has always loved dressing up, and has a closet full of quirky clothing and jewelry. Her neighbor and caretaker, Kim Taylor, came up with a brilliant idea to take her mind off the pandemic.
The pair began to host everyday fashion shows in McDonald’s backyard. Taylor snaps numerous shots of McDonald in her favorite flashy outfits. She is a huge fan of flowy skirts, large hats and bright colors.

The fashion shows are a huge hit. Hundreds of comments filled with positive feedback flood her YouTube videos. People describe her fashion shows as inspiring, delightful and uplifting.
