This outfit seems like something Amelia Earhart might have worn.
Rugged jacket, silk scarf, tapered slacks tucked into boots — she was one stylin’ aviator. (Seriously, google her. You would not believe the beautiful pieces she wore while flying a plane.)
Except none of my vintage pieces date back to the twenties when Earhart was setting her records. My jacket is from the sixties (it’s actually a men’s battledress jacket) and my scarf is from who-knows-when.
And as much as I love my vintage men’s Omega watch, nothing beats Earhart’s most notable accessory — an airplane.
P.S. In case you’re wondering how to cater your own royal wedding-watching party, I wrote a little poem on VitaminDaily.

How random! Just a few hours ago I was visiting an office with tons of framed images of Amelia Earhart. And she was a seriously stylish woman. And your outfit really does look like something she would have worn- chic and slightly masculine but still soft and attractive.
Amelia is pretty much the definition of cool, minus the crashing and gone missing part. The short hair, the casual stance – an inspiration. And your outfit has captured it perfectly.
Gorgeous look, darling!
Love the inspiration!

Love the vintage aviator inspired look
Especially the scarf!
I love that jacket, and I love Amelia Earhart. And you’re so right – girlfriend always looked good.
Wow! What an incredible ensemble, Kelsey! Amelia Earhart would most definitely approve! :)
Amelia Earhart may have been a stylish aviator, but you’re one stylish Vancouverite! Seriously, I think I’ve told you this before, but you have the most amazing collection of vintage pieces. This ensemble looks great on you. All the pieces are loose fitting, but I like how it doesn’t overwhelm your frame. I would never be able to pull this off!
