M’dears, I am so totally excited to show you this outfit like you would not believe!  The darling two-piece wool suit I am sporting caught my eye on eBay and when I received it in the mail I was even more thrilled to find out that it was all it promised to be and more!! 

As you can see, it’s fully lined with a sweet red and black plaid taffeta fabric and the skirt has a cute little lace hem detail.  The skirt also has pockets, and the jacket with it’s black velvet collar and princess seams is to die for.   I love the cut of this suit ~ with the full skirt, combined with the puffed sleeves, it is the perfect blend between a 1940s style and a 1950s style which leads me to believe that it could be a ‘New Look’ suit!  *le gasp!*

Even better than that ~ I snapped it up for a mere $55.00 AUD…..   O_____o 

It literally was the bargain of a century ~ I’d been eyeing it on and off for two months or so, and was so excited to see a 50% off sale price that I didn’t even hesitate to click “Buy It Now”.  Seriously, it’s the epitome of the thrill of the hunt, and the ultimate ‘trophy’.

I really can’t tell if I am more excited about how perfect this suit suits me or about the astronomically fantastic price!  Either way, this is most definitely my favourite thing in my wardrobe at the moment!  I can’t wait to mix the pieces up and it’s just what I need to ward off the winter chill. 

Happy hunting to y’all!
