Creme de la creme de millesime

This outfit has a palpable vintage and rustic feel to it that I really like. The colors are soft and earthy and the textures in the maxi skirt, cream blouse and vest seem to make it appropriate for the 1960s - 1970s.

The cream cardigan is a new addition to my vintage collection. I got it from a local resale shop
and it's super warm, cozy and perfect. It's from the 1960s and it's the first white cardigan that I have ever owned. I think I look ridiculous in white and so you'll notice that I don't wear that color often, but I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone a bit. Oh and I found the cardigan in the men's section, but honestly, as long as it fits, who cares? Haha. Plus, it was $12! I just couldn't help myself. :D

I'm in love with this dark almond corduroy maxi skirt! It was called the "In Close Corduroys Skirt" on ModCloth and it was one of those items that I just had to have as soon as I saw it.
  The floral blouse from TIL Darling and the vintage corduroy vest seemed like they were made to be worn with this skirt. Soon after I had put everything on, I felt like I did something right. I don't feel that too often! Haha. :P

I'm happy to finally have an opportunity to wear this corduroy vest. It's gorgeous! I purchased it earlier in the year, but struggled with how to wear it. I hope I did it justice! I wrote a piece about the shop from which I bought the vest and white cardigan. If you want to see what the shop looks like and whatnot, just click here. :D I really dig the subtle chevron pattern in the corduroy skirt, the florals in the sleeves of my sheer blouse and vest, and the filigree pattern in my necklace.  For anyone that is hopelessly and/or annoyingly detail oriented (*raises hand* - guilty! hehe), this outfit should be a real treat!

I love your layering of tops! It's so sweet and almost doll-like, but the rest of the outfit grounds it. Great '70s look.

Oversized cardigans always look so good on you. I can't make them work for me.

I love how you've styled this. Even though it has a definite 1800's vibe with the skirt, blouse and vest you still manage to make it look current. I have a thrifted skirt similar to this and may take some tips from this outfit. Thanks for the inspiration!

Of course I love this one - earthy colours so I'm all over it! I'm also digging long skirts at the moment. I only have a couple in my closet but I'm thinking I may need more.

Love how you've styled the vest as well. I have a pretty sweet vest in my collection that actually has yet to make it onto my blog. One of these days, I'll get there. :D

I really like this. That vest looks like it should be something for a prairie pioneer look and yet you turn in all into something incredibly chic.

When I saw the first few pictures with the cardi, I thought, "yeah, I like this. Cute." And then when you took off the sweater I thought, "holy crap this is amazing!" Love love love the lace with the vest. I see those vests all the time in thrift stores but I'm never a big fan. I love it with the corduroy skirt and lace top thou. It helps the vest fits you great!

O_O I am speechless. This outfit is perfection. I am envying that vest right now so hard. The boots are darling and I agree with Lindsey when you took off the cardigan I died.

Dead.

Uuuuuggghhh, this is SO pretty! I knew you'd find a way to rock the cardigan! I'm in love with the lace blouse. And your hat, boots, and bag all add a more modern touch to a perfectly vintage outfit. I'm cutting myself off before I gush forever ;) <3
