1950s Pendleton Navy and Green Tartan Plaid Suit

One of the great things about wearing vintage is that you can tweak conservatism with your own unique little vintage twist.  Office dress code dictates a skirt suit?  Obey the rules, but in your own way, in this adorable little wool suit by Pendleton.  In a dark navy blue and forest green tartan plaid (the photos show the colors as lighter than they actually are), the short jacket is straight cut with a bracelet-length sleeve and a cute little flat, rounded collar.  Four oversized covered buttons run from neck to hem.  Pencil skirt has a side zipper closure is lined across the seat.  A truly classic look, you can go toe-to-toe with the corporate bigwigs, but because it's vintage - it's just a little 'anti' - but not so much that you'll get disapproving looks - they'll just think you're your own person, and should probably be promoted. Lining of the skirt has faded, otherwise both pieces are in excellent condition. Jacket measures:  Bust 39", waist 38", hip 38", shoulder 17", sleeve 18.5", total length 20.5".  Skirt waist measures 26.5", hip 38", length 25.5". $165
