Suits My Fancy
This is a bit belated, but the 1940s editorial in the September issue of Vogue really made me want to wear a suit. Specifically, a broad-shouldered, peplum-waisted suit. Of course, I have no occasion for a suit nor do I own one, but a girl can play dress up, right? I found two blazer and skirt combos in my closet that are sort of suit-like. Here is the first of the two. I resisted the urge to throw in a bright color since the examples in the magazine are neutral, classic and pretty understated. Sorry about the dark picture. I had the choice after work to go straight home and catch the last bit of daylight or go thrifting. You know how I feel about thrifting. And, yes, I'm wearing the scarf AGAIN!

Looks good! I have many blazers but no matching bottoms, since they were mostly thrifted, and I'm okay with that.
Also really digging the socks and open toed shoes, WISH i could pull that off.

The scarf is awesome...and the shoes and socks combo absolutely polishes this look off beautifully!

Oh man, socks with the heels totally makes your outfit. And cute shape with the peplum waist. :}
Love all the mixed prints with the blazer, scarf and belt, though you still kept it looking simple.
This is such a lovely outfit!
