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 . . . . . . . . . . .

This one’s a little later than the suits we’ve just seen – it belonged to a relative years ago. I think it is a Catalina brand.
Abstract floral print, with a cute little figure-saving skirt over the hips. I love the soft colors.
Such a pleasure to receive things from people I know – it’s great to have the inside scoop on the history and care of the garment. And a double plus when I can wear them, too!
