Oh Boy, Myrna Loy!

Every year around this time, I re-watch The Thin Man.  Every year, after seeing Myrna Loy in the famous Xmas shopping scene (screencapped below by Casey over at Elegant Musings), I dig my favourite Persian lamb trimmed 30s skirt suit out and try a sartorial homage to the lovely Nora Charles, Loy's character in the film.  If it was a little warmer out, I would totally wear this ensemble around town whilst doing my winter holiday errands.
