DARK CHOCOLATE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP? EVERY GIRL LOVES CANDIES FOR VALENTINE’S DAY!
You know what’s happening in about two weeks . . . . . .
Moving into the mood for a special date on St. Valentine’s Day, how about a little silk jacket in sweet cherry red from the 1950’s over your LBD? I love this one in a red and black print.
Pictured here with a modern skirt, you could also top a dress or slacks with this one. The nice short length is very versatile. Leave it open over a pretty, simple shell or blouse or wear it closed.
Just a little smolder while you sip a red in some small cafe’ . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S LADIES’ WINTER SUIT WITH GORGEOUS TAILORING
IN A SIMILAR HUE, BUT THIS TIME FULL-ON WINTRY WOOL
The forties and early fifties are favorite fashion eras of mine and the suits from that time are delectable!
You can’t beat 1940 – 1960 for lovely tailoring and flattering fit when it comes to women’s suits. This photo is a bit dark, but I hope that you can see the detailing on the jacket. So many garments from that time have these beautiful elements, and I’m sure that this one was an off-the-rack choice.
I’d love to be able to go to a nearby shop or department store and know that I could always find lovely, well-made clothing in a moderate price range, with careful assistance from the staff. Our grandmothers, at least in North America and Europe, usually could.
Of course, in cultures where expert tailor shops abounded, such as in parts of eastern Asia, gorgeous custom-made clothing was the norm and, maybe, still is.
Ah, what luxury.

A TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S LADIES’ WINTER SUIT WITH GORGEOUS TAILORING
SPRING SHOULDER SEASON SIXTIES SKIRT SUIT – TRY SAYING THAT TWICE!
WE CAN SOMETIMES GET AWAY FROM THE HEAVY WOOL NOW IN NORTH AMERICA – YEA!
For Spring or Fall – or any time the temps are in that mid cool-ish range – a lightweight wool knit skirt suit by Butte Knits. I LOVE the olive drab color and the flattering fit.
This is one of a few examples I’ve found of mid-60’s suits like this, or similar. The high-end knits are so comfortable and easy to wear, but ready for just about any setting. It’s also two separates that can easily be paired with other skirts or pants for a different look.
I think my Aussie friends down under would love a garment like it at this time of year . . . . . . . . . . .
