Cool spring outfit in mixed style of modernized late 19th & first half of 20th centuries


I have always been partial to the 19th century. I like the fashion of the 1820s-1860s more, but since they are difficult to reproduce by conventional means, I also like the following years, especially if they are easier to depict or style fairly modern clothes for them. 






Therefore, when I found this jacket in secondhand, I was glad to combine it with a wonderful striped skirt made of old homespun cloth, which I bought a year ago in a vintage store. The style of the jacket makes me think that I wear a small bustle under my skirt and it's great. I love such illusions.






This outfit is good for cool autumn, not very warm winter and cool spring. I wore it in early December and I felt warm and comfortable. 




This hat, even though it does not cover the ears, still provides enough protection from a mild cold wind.


 

I am wearing:

  • Grey pure wool Victorian era like jacket with hook and eye closure, with stand-up collar, made in Spain, about 2000s
  • (partly seen) Real vintage burgundy silk long sleeve button down blouse, made in Germany, about 1960s-1970s
  • Real vintage home-sewn striped grey-white-blue-dark red pure wool slightly gathered midi skirt, about 1930s-1970s, but hand woven fabric is older (I do not rule out that it may be the beginning of the century!)
  • Real vintage grey fur felt hat with ribbon and feather decor by “Mayser creation”, made in Germany, about 1960s-1970s
  • Real vintage burgundy handmade silk scarf with equestrian design of “Spanische Hofreitschule”, Wien, made in Austria, about late 1970s-1980s
  • Handmade dark red leather belt by “ReVolt”, Italian style by Remo Salvador, made in Italy, about 1990-2000s
  • Pure wool and cotton velvet bag with tweed applique patchwork of dachshund by «Earth squared», Edinburgh, about 2000-2010s.
  • Burgundy leather driving fingerless gloves, about 2010s
  • Beige nylon tights, about 1990s
  • Black leather lace up heel platform shoes, made in RF, about 2010s




Of course my not-too-long skirt, more 1930s, shoes more 1940s, a quirky, modern bag and mid-length hair modernize the overall outfit. But in general, I like the look, which is somewhat reminiscent of the look of a European townswoman or an emancipated lady of the late 19th century.
