These garments are from the mid-century, and a bit difficult to date – especially the blouse.  It almost looks like  a square-dancing  costume.  With jeans or a skirt it’s super-cute.  I love gingham in almost anything and really enjoy wearing these.  It’s so cute and has been classic for decades.

 The real star of this post is the jewelry – from Mexico anywhere from the 1930’s to 1950’s, I’d say.  Beautiful quality in 925 silver and inlaid mother-of-pearl.  Pendant, pins and earrings – they’re great with casual, Western-wear clothing and can be dressed up, too.  They really are of fine quality and workmanship – like nothing I see today.  Looked for something similar in Mexico last year, but these are the winners.

I’ll be going to Chicago this weekend, so will be off-line for a couple of days. Wonder what I’ll discover.  May have some fun things to report when I return!
