This is probably the closest I will get to ever wearing a "suit." I found this beautiful early 1960's lace ensemble at a flea market and before this I had only worn the pieces separately (here and here), but I thought it might be fun to actually wear them together as originally intended. I added a silk blouse in my favorite minty hue, a beat-up old briefcase, and some 1940's-style heels and then popped into the corner market for a few boring essentials, a bottle of champagne (decidedly un-boring) and cheap flowers. It felt like the right kind of cheeky business lady attire to celebrate finally branching out on my own. Keep an eye on Fancy Fine Vintage, it will be overflowing with pretty new things soon and much more frequently!

You styled that suit so lovely. The pastel shirt and handbag with scarf are a nice touch! I also never knew a liquor store could look so chic! x
i'd hire you ;)
Oh man that suit! I love it so! You look beauteous as always! xx
Favorite. Outfit. Ever. I love the crochet and the colors and the retro professional vibe. Enjoy your weekend!
Gaaah! I'm always looking for skirt suits. It's so hard to find ones that aren't just fuddy duddy wool ones. I love this!
Well my lady, this is what I call Styling! That beautiful suit would not be an easy one to wear everyday, but on you it looks fresh and fun! You're the best, Ashley!

So beautiful as always. I LOVE the blouse, the color is fantastic as is the print. Great look :)
You always come up with the best color combos! I never would have thought to pair burnt orange and pale mint together but I love it!
I also have these heels, and they pair perfectly with your lace blazer!! Great outfit.
You look amazing! Your lace suit is amazing! xoxo

Loved the way you wore the items previously & loved this remix too (esp. the mint blouse). And I have a bag exactly like this, which makes me feel super stylish now.
PS Just wanted to say to, I love that you wear exclusively vintage items. It's so nice to see a blogger not comsumed by 'fast fashion'. You really are an inspiration. :)
that is a beautiful orange lace suit, & it's vintage! :)
So cute and springy! I love that you did the photo shoot at a flower market!
I have a tenderness for a vintage suit & your lace orange one is just perfect. Love the Budweiser sign in the background too. Good for you for pursuing your dreams, btw.
oh my goodness that suit is amazing.
and it's orange my favorite color!!!

I work in a banking environment where dressing in vintage is permissible and I would be so down to wear this type of suit :) I looks so lovely on you!! You paired it fabulously with the mint blouse.
Love this look!!!!!
Great style and blog :)
