Golden Garbs- Summer Suits!

The Summer Suit

Heaven knows I love the chic-polished look of a vintage tailored suit! Just because it's summertime, doesn't mean that I'm going to put the thought of wearing one, on the shelf for a few months! Summer suits made of lightweight linen or cotton fabrics, with a short sleeve, are a ladies alternative choice to wearing a suit in the summertime!

Here I am in one of my summer suits, in a light green (almost gray) linen fabric, with navy blue buttons!

A few more sewing patterns of summer suit inspiration!

Any one of these suit ensembles would be lovely paired with a straw summer hat...

Seems like with all the important meetings and stuff I had going on last week. I was suited up more than usual in a weeks time. I do love to sport Vintage suits, as they always leave any dame looking perfectly put together in a refined 1940's gal way!

I also love to wear my hats with suits. It just adds the finishing touch of elegance and classy vintage lady! Below, I am sporting some more of my favorite suits. Hope everyone had a swell weekend!
