I love my cotton skirt and vest set from the late 1970’s. The style had a real moment then and this one is by Mr. Leonard, which was a leading manufacturer of women’s clothing from 1965 until it’s closing in 1999. Cool and casual makes it perfect for September while we’re still having warm days but are in the mood for Autumn colors. It’s pretty easy to dress up or down for daytime, too. Looks just as great with a classic blouse or a t-shirt.

The nicest thing is the quality. Nice fabric, well-constructed. The vest is fully lined with a dark green fabric that keeps it’s shape and minimizes wear. Despite it’s age, it looks almost new. That’s probably my favorite thing about true vintage clothing and accessories, second only to the fabulous style and elegance.

I’ll have to continue unpacking, so stay tuned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
