Our Fashion Note. — A Cheap Spring Wardrobe for the Business Girl

Our Fashion Note.
A Cheap Spring Wardrobe for the Business Girl.

The trouble and expense of spring and summer is that you need so many clothes. In winter everyone expects to see you in the same little woollen suit day after day. You become quite attached to it, just as a man loves his old coat, it acquires a personality. But the spring demands swift changes, and you feel a sudden desire to have heaps of clothes for every occasion and every mood. You look at your bank-book, and see that it can't be done. Now, here is an idea—indispensable for your wardrobe—a cream skirt. Make it of some light woollen material, viyella preferable; no pleats this year, but four pieces, each slightly flaired, fitting closely at the hips. This skirt must be fairly long to be fashionable. You will be surprised at its usefulness—worn with a white blouse, with a white jumper, with any coloured pull-overs and scarves, with short coats of all kinds, with the new little linen jumpers. Each time it is a new creation, hence its value. Add a pair of white and tan court shoes and a floppy white hat, a rather mannish loose coat with raglan sleeves and belt, and you will have an inexpensive smart spring wardrobe.
