I love seeing late 19th/early 20th century photos of women adventurers. I have a few photos somewhere around here of groups of hikers in the teens and twenties, where the women are sporting wool knickers and heavy sweaters or crisp white shirts and ties. It's my faaaaaaaaaavorite look ever.
When I went out to take pictures it was a little chilly so I grabbed my 30s riding jacket (actually maybe it's older?) and it seemed to work perfectly. My Sherlock and John cat buttons live on the lapel right now, they're the cutest.
This is really really cool outfit. The colours work really well together and I like the silhouette your shirt & pants make. I wish lots of women dressed like this still !
ohhhh i love this look. i'm really digging your more casual attire. I love how everything looks so vintage when you wear it, even when it's not so old ^^
Yes I love this! What a great combination between feminity and ruggedness.... I absolutely adore everything in these pictures and you pull it off like a charm!
Ah, I loved this topic so much I spent 4 years researching it for my Ph D. I'm a nerd like that :D. Love the spirit of this outfit. Those jeans are like the perfect Land Girl green!
I have a new girl-crush; you are gorgeous! You really suit the vintage clothing and makeup; you have that look. Super jealous! The bee brooch is also to die for.. WANT!

I am so in love with this..I'm a horseback rider-Ahem, Equestrian, and a vintage lover. It's hard to find vintage outfits that I could actually ride and do stuff in, so now I want a pair of pants like that..and just the whole outfit. Especially those buttons. :O Sherlock and cats are my favorites... Kalin from vintage fashion blog, Www.Modestyismypolicy.blogspot.com

I might have to steal this entire look from you. It's brilliant.

Love those pants! No one else could get away with this look but you, and the silhouette is super flattering.
Speaking of women adventurers, have you read the Amelia Peabody novels? You may enjoy them.
Such a lovely outfit, I especially love the shoes. :)

You are so beautiful! By the way, thank you so much for following me on instagram - it made my day being the huge dork I am! <3
Oh I love this outfit! You look amazing dear ♥
Also, those Sherlock buttons are the best!
I'm afraid I can't talk about anything except that bee brooch which I am now obsessed with.
I saw a vintage dress with embroidered bees on it once. I think I need bees in my wardrobe.
I can't handle this
This outfit is pure perfection!
You sure look adventurous. love the colour of the trousers.

I think "woman adventurer" is the best thing ever to look like!
So lovely. Even when you "dress down" you look exquisite!
I have a new girl-crush; you are gorgeous! You really suit the vintage clothing and makeup; you have that look. Super jealous!
