Wool jersey matching seperates are naturals for the middy-look. Slim or pleated skirts are mated with jersey overblouses, some hanging loosely at the hips, others elasticized at the hipline. The girl with exotic tastes can even find a mix-match set whose jersey overblouse resembles a Navajo Indian blanket. The blouse has a horizontal design of red, gold and white on a background of loden green, and the skirt is loden green wool. The outfit is manufactured by Dorothy Kerby...
