Posted - Jul 20 2010 : 05:29:18 AM I usually wear shorts and a very light top in this heat.. the other day, however, i wore a sun dress and i LOVED to see my shadow while i worked! i felt so pretty all day long. I even felt sexy when i bent over in the garden and i knew my tush was showing!! haha.. i live out in the country with no neighbors so no one saw but God. hahahha.. (and my husband when he got home). I love to wear my apron almost every day as well.. I tell my girlfriends they should start to wear one too because even in the moments when i feel like a terrible wife and mother, all i have to do is catch a glance of myself in the mirror with my apron on and i feel like i'm doing a damn good job!! hahah.. Plus, its a good facade when people just happen to stop over to visit and i have my apron on, as if i'm working sooooo hard! love ya all, Sally |

Posted - Jul 14 2010 : 6:45:45 PM Mostly jeans or my brothers old camo pants, every now and then shorts, with t-shirts and pink rubber boots. Yes.... the rubber boots even with shorts. It's me.... all the neighbors know it. My nearest neighbor even bought his wife a pair of the pink rubber boots. :) I guess I am one of those fashion diva trend starters... LOL
I'm so busy I don't know if I just found a rope or lost my horse! |

Posted - Jul 08 2010 : 9:22:33 PM PRINTS! Prints hide fur, dirt & little bunny poo poo...I like florals.
WINTER - faded jeans, sometimes over the jammies! Topped with a fleece zip-up jacket, scarf, faur-fur bomber hat, faux-fur lined gloves, and boots. (Jammies, coat & boots if I think no one's looking - though I have terrified the mailman with this get-up!) SUMMER - jean cut-offs, tank or tee, and crocs, with a floppy straw hat SPRING & FALL - flannel shirt over the tee/tank, jeans, and crocs with socks!

Posted - Jul 01 2010 : 10:45:23 PM Oh , I forgot wool! It's the best in the winter wool sweater w/ wool coat ,Pendelton or Woolrich.Wool hat.Wool socks In the rain until I have to get my rain gear on the wool is great. Katie |

Posted - Jul 01 2010 : 10:37:50 PM I always wear earrings. That's my Fancy...But I do try to get a few new summer shirts yearly to not look too bad. I work as a landscaper then come home and garden more. I have twisted wire roper boots I love w/ fancy green uppers suede lowers, cute socks.My basic 501's. People around here are used to me mostly being dirty whenever they see me ( I shop on the way home, if needed) really dirty knees,shirts,face hands.But the contractor guys all wave and show me respect for being "out there" working for the money. Rarely I dress up and people in town see me and are shocked. Katie |

Posted - Jun 27 2010 : 7:43:47 PM Anyone ever try wrap pants? I am on a wrap pants kick again, when my son was little he lived in wrap pants at the renaissance faire, and they are so easy to make, its like sweat pants but they are cute and cool. See http://www.purpleunicorn.com/wraps.html you dont need a pattern to make them, and I make most of mine out of scraps so some have two different colored legs. :)
Oh Mr Darcy!

Posted - Jun 27 2010 : 3:15:33 PM Depending on the time of year, holey jeans, the more holes the better, in the winter, thermals underneath, tanktops, t-shirts or thermal shirts, again depending on the weather, barefoot, flip flops, tennis shoes or boots, depending on what I'm doing and the weather. All i care about is comfort, not at all what I look like,lol.

Posted - Jun 27 2010 : 2:08:14 PM While working outside especially for gardening I have a cute garden apron (from a farmgirl swap), cute rubber garden clogs, I have a couple of different sunhats and pretty garden gloves! |

Posted - Jun 19 2010 : 07:58:24 AM I love this thread! It's been so fun to read & made me giggle many a times. I wear jeans (but don't like how they scoop down in the back, so I'm always yanking them up) & tee shirt & hat with pink rubber clogs. In winter, I have this great corduroy jacket w/fake sheep fleece inside & wear a homemade scarf, hat & gloves and warm woolie socks inside my pink clogs.

Posted - Jun 18 2010 : 8:48:57 PM For gardening I subscribe to my father's outside dress -- long pants, long sleeved shirt, silk scarf or cotton handkerchief, broad rimmed straw hat, and gardening gloves. And rubber gardening shoes -- mine are yellow with red lady bugs. And often my apron (dad didn't wear one) This way I am protected from bugs and sun. I burn in minutes, so I have to be careful. My outfit isn't very pretty, but my husband finds it cheerful and enjoys the way I look in our garden. Suzanne |

Posted - Jun 16 2010 : 11:34:18 AM For all you sisters that love to go barefoot (me included), I just recently purchased a pair of 5 fingered shoes. OMG..... you can walk across the rocky driveway, through the woods, in the water or anywhere you want to go. For normal activities they keep your feet bone dry cause of the moisture wicking between the toes. They are weird looking and a bit costly, but have bad arthritis in back and hip and experience very little pain while wearing these shoes. Check 'em out. FarmGirl Sister #`465

Posted - Jun 07 2010 : 3:33:58 PM I always wear jeans summer and winter, so that is a given. Now that I've been on chemo, I wear long sleeved shirts. Since I have no hair, I have to wear either a cap or broad brimmed hat. No choice, but I don't mind.
Now that I read back over the responses, I wanted to ask Cindy if she had ever read the James Herriott books starting with "All Creatures Great and Small"?

Posted - Jun 07 2010 : 3:04:34 PM I wear jodhpurs, wide brimmed garden hat & wellies! Just kidding. I think that's soooo funny! I'm with jpbluesky on this one. I end up wearing whatever I'm wearing. I have to do what I have to when I get a couple of minutes and there's no time for changing clothes. Unless I really blow it (like yesterday) and get ambitious and build a second compost bin and potato bin in my church clothes! Glad my homemade detergent cuts the mud and the mustard!

Posted - May 29 2010 : 2:31:19 PM Well, lets see. In the winter I wear really warm sweat pants, a heavy coat, gloves, and rubber muck boots. But most of the time you will see me wearing a long skirt, sweat pants underneath, a sweat shirt, and rubber muck boots. Snow, rain, or sun that is what I wear. lol I will wear pants though if I need to clean nasty stalls, etc. Hugs, Channah

Posted - May 26 2010 : 4:58:29 PM It varies depending on my mood. Sometimes I work in the garden in a bathing suit, but that is rare. It never fails that I have to come in and change because, lets face it gals, there are something’s one can just not do in a bathing suit!!

Posted - May 23 2010 : 10:11:11 PM I unfortunately do NOT look as cute as MJF in her videos, or on the covers of her mag. I look pretty bad! I wear old clothes, put my hair up and spray for mosquitoes, and my shoes are a mess! I wear things that are loose but cover me for bites, and my face gets red from the heat, and I wish I did not look like such a fright!! But it is hot here, and humid, and so.....

Posted - May 23 2010 : 1:56:25 PM In the winter it is jean, riding boots or muck boots, thick socks, long sleeved tees and layers and layers of hoodies with a fleece hat my daughter brought me from Leeds Market in London. Summer it is jeans (if I am getting in a saddle) shorts, tank tops, or skirts and tank tops, and flip flops or crocs. If I'm riding I wear twisted X riding boots. In the summer I have baseball caps, and straw hats. The sun in south Texas is really bright.

Posted - May 23 2010 : 12:23:39 PM When the weather's warm I'm in a loose thin cotton knee length summer dress. It's nothing I'd wear to go into town but it's perfect for doing work in around the house. I like it because it's loose, I can't stand anything that's binding. When it's cold I have a pair of fleece overalls that feel so good. |
