Oh boy, look what I found!! Not only was this Pendleton 49er in mint condition, and wonderfully vivid, but it's got matching trousers to go with! Best part: they were labelled on eBay as "pajamas", so no one else bid and I got 'em for a steal, ha. Now I'm not sure if I'll wear the duo together beyond these photographs; it might be a bit too weird, even for me. Honestly, I can see how the seller mistook them for pajamas. Could do with a trip to the tailor's, too. They're pretty neat to have, though, and satisfy my long-held desire for one of those buffalo plaid hunting outfits. Not that I'd ever hunt. I'm a vegetarian. I just love the charming Olde New England-ness of them.
PS: By the time you read this, I will no longer be in New England. Destination: California!

Super cute Dakota! Are you going to California on vacation or moving there?
ReplyDeleteWOW! Great find!! you look adorable!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO!!!! Welcome to CA!!! I used to think matchy-matchy was kinda weird but in my heart I always loved it. Too much is never enough!
ReplyDeleteOooohhh, it's rare (at least for me), but I love it when I unearth a vintage treasure because it was slightly (or completely) misnamed and thus escaped other peoples' attention. You look gorgeous - and so wonderfully cozy! - in your new suit, and I suspect it will give you years and years of warm, stylish winter wear.

Thanks guys!! Secretly I sorta love their pajama-esque weirdness-- super cozy, and I feel like a cute little lumberjack, haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Southern Cali for an "extended stay"-- at least 'til after New Years. Will update with more details once I'm settled in!!
Gorgeous! I have a 49er jacket myself and am planning to make matching pants (in a coordinating solid though). This is pretty intense, but could by good for skiing or snowshoeing if you tone it down with some Irish sweaters or something. Or...you know, pajamas is always an option. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh my the suit is amazing, I love it, you look divine in it, like a glamourous lumberjack. I am digging the new trend for wearing pjs as daywear so this is right up my street! xxx
ReplyDeleteholy hell! amazingness indeed. Pajamas be damned!
ReplyDeleteI so thoroughly enjoy your blog :) it definitely makes me want to put that little extra effort into my outfit in the morning. Thanks!
I've just discovered your blog, it's so gorgeous, really inspiring outfits and photographs!
ReplyDeleteI've recently started my own vintage blog, latest post is the first of a series from my magical trip to Paris, do take a peek and let me know what you think!
