Mighty Closet: Margaret Stewart, Outfit No. 8
\
Are you seeing this, Internet? This is Margaret Stewart prevailing. Right after we took these photos, she performed a brief tap number.
It would never even occur to me to purchase that vest, let alone tie it jauntily and pair it with wide-leg trousers. Also, wouldn’t it make a great maternity piece? It would. Vest is by Splendid, and the open front knit cardigan seems to be a signature piece for that brand. Trousers are from H&M.
Two-tone shoes are by Greater LA.
The necklace/collar is handmade by an artist in Buenos Aires. Margaret bought it on the street a couple years ago. You’re already plotting how to make one for yourself, aren’t you? Me too.
target had a similar “vest” this year in a variety of colors. mine is a light gray and it is SO versatile and you can wear it both in summer and winter.
This is ridiculous. Ridiculously good.
And the hat? I ADORE the hat.
Yes…the hat. Do tell.

LOVE the Hat & Shoes
Love the Vest, though I have fat arms so I would have to go with some sort of sleeve.
But seriously, I don’t like the necklace, too much going on on top, which works I suppose if you aren’t busty…
This one is my fave! I love the gray,white,orange combo. And Splendid is indeed splendid! I have that vest, only in black with long sleeves. If that makes sense.
Hello, Internets,
My hat is from Target. Seriously. They have great, cheap accessories.

Margaret Stewart should NOT wear this necklace on the streets of San Francisco, because if I see her, I’m pushing her into the nearest doorway, ripping it off her neck and ABSCONDING WITH IT.
Wow, that sounded threatening, huh? I guess I should have just gone with “ooh, I like the necklace.” Now I have frightened everyone. But chunky turquoise statement pieces are my downfall.
Favorite ensemble of this series.
I adore this color palette.
über-fabulous!!! one of my faves all the way…
what is the necklace made of? fabric rounds sewn together? ribbon? can’t tell from snap as it’s a bit fuzzy. LOVE the outfit, and Maggie is right, I would have never have thought to wear any of those pieces together and yet i drool for the ensemble.
This may very well be one of the most perfect summertime outfits I’ve ever seen.
I am in love with this outfit. Total covet.
She’s divine.
first one to post step-by-step instructions to make that collar (perhaps out of an old wool sweater, felted?) wins my undying loyalty. and love. and maybe i’ll bake you a cake.
Seriously. Step-by-step instructions, stat. I am not crafty, but am now reconsidering that stance.
I’m pretty sure the necklace is made from stacked rounds of unhemmed cotton with a seed bead in the middle of each “pool.”

That necklace rocks. Is it heavy? What’s it made of?
