Though it wasn't an especially common fabric during the 40s and 50s (compared say to it's use in the 70s and 80s), some pieces (such as suits, dresses and jackets) for ladies were produced in it, and I'm always on the hunt more to add to my wardrobe (this particular jacket is a vintage appropriate modern one I bought about three years ago, but I do have some truly vintage corduroy in my closet, too).<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-73775688469085799822012-11-10T00:51:50.968-08:002012-11-10T00:51:50.968-08:00Thank you very much, sweet lady.

It's a modern piece I bought three or so years ago, but I love how well I can weave into some of my vintage looks. I hope you're able to find a fantastic corduroy blazer or your own one day, too.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-77117002460103505422012-11-10T00:40:58.869-08:002012-11-10T00:40:58.869-08:00Thank you, dear gal.

I don't have a photo of the back of that hat at the moment (haven't snapped one yet), but I'll make a mental not to do the next time I wear it (and if that doesn't happen for a while, I'll take a photo of the back of the hat on its own and include it as part of a future post).

I love (and frequently wear) my cameo brooches, so I'm sure a close up of this one will appear at some point (if not, I'll just grab a snap of it on its own one and weave into a different post).<br /><br />Tony knows my tastes very well, and has gotten me some truly fantastic gifts (vintage and otherwise) over the years. Sometimes I let him know point blank when an item catches my eye, and then he may very sweetly get it for me at some point, other times his gifts are total surprises - and in many ways those are the ones (gifts) that I end up loving the most because I know how much time and thought went into them. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-4811986685095879122012-11-09T20:08:53.847-08:002012-11-09T20:08:53.847-08:00I really love this outfit on you!
