Too Cool for School . . . . . . .
A find from out West last time I went, this is my second jacket of this type. It’s made of a very heavy synthetic fiber – probably an acrylic, and has a real Happy Days feel to me – and unisex appeal.
I love the abstract geometric designs on these and the bright Fall colors on this one. Warm and attention-getting. Wear them with slacks, jeans ,leggings or they can even go over a skirt or sheath dress. . . . . . .
I haven’t even seen any vintage-inspired lookalikes made for these – at least nothing that could be remotely convincing that it’s real.
But, if you are a skilled investigator, you wouldn’t be fooled . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PERFECT DINNER TO DANCING DRESS – TRUE VINTAGE MID-CENTURY
For dinner or after-work cocktails, this little number would fill the bill. Pair it with some matching blue pumps and you’d really be swank.
Simple as can be, but with the neckline decoration and the little vents at the waist, it’s very stylish. And, like a sheath dress, the fit is classic and really flattering.
If you are a DIYer, this style is very simple to sew. I have another very similar in lightweight soft green wool – made by the grandmother of a friend in mid-century, as a 3-season dressy day dress.
Just the thing to have in your closet for that unexpected invitation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
