Style | Knit’s neat

Vintage shopping isn’t always about the weird and the wonderful (though there’s certainly plenty of that).

It’s also about the classic and the ladylike. Like this made-in-Canada, midi-length knit skirt. It has a wonderful sheer quality that doesn’t quite translate in pictures but looks beautiful in person.

Which brings up a really good point — always, always test your vintage dresses and skirts for the see-through-ness before leaving the house. So many of these gorgeous old pieces were made to wear with slips and it’s best to find that out before you arrive to a meeting with your editor.

    I’m short too but I don’t think it’s my height that keeps me from wearing this length – rather it’s my stumpiness. Ah well – I’ll live vicariously!
