I love the apple-green button trim on this navy jacket from the 1940’s. Alas, the skirt is not part of a set, but I was able to find one with an almost-matching color and fabric weave. That is a very difficult assignment, but one I’ve become good at.
The jacket, however, steals the show so a plain skirt, dress or slacks are just right. A colorful green blouse is nice – another color-matching challenge!
Though it’s not quite a “novelty” garment, this jacket is another example of the fun, whimsical styles that are common to many true vintage fashion eras and make the clothing such a treat to find and wear. It would be fun to do some green and blue experiments with this – when I have the time . …. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A LITTLE FORTIES SPRING JACKET AND SKIRT – Magicvintagespy
Button trim…hm, I could do that! Thanks for sharing!
That’s the spirit! Go for it.
What a wonderful suit. Makes me wish I was skinny again.
Isn’t it cute? Women’s clothing was a lot more “fun” than now, it seems.
