Chattanooga Choo Choo


The photo of this Aqua Towncraft suitcase (suitcase for sale from Etsy shop "bamabelle" and featured on the Etsy homepage) makes me want to jump into the 1940's, travel cross-country by train while wearing a smart skirt suit, stockings, a hat and pumps- aqua suitcase in hand (um, and never mind that the suitcase is from the 1950's...)

Oh! Perhaps the outfit I'd wear would look something like this.

Too dressy? I suppose it doesn't matter if it is, seeing as I would also be traveling with a yet-to-be-made suitcase!
