the perfect skirt

I just love this skirt and the Veronica Lake hair! There's something very confident and appealing about the made up girl. This image was taken from a recent Gucci ad. The other image is from an Yves Saint Laurent advertisement from the late 80's--

I love the feather hat and the dandy velvet jacket. I know that velvet supposedly comes in and out of style but in my mind it doesn't get any cooler than a perfectly cut edwardian style velvet jacket for the winter!
