Annie S...I like you go to an office in the city and work in outside sales. It pains me to throw on heels and a stylish suit. The more I'm on the farm, the harder it is to get up and do that barbie doll routine anymore. On the weekends, I can be found in a ballcap, a pair of blue jeans and my fat baby farm boots. Oops...forgot the shirt in all of that LOL...usually a T-Shirt with some farmgirl saying.
When I'm at the office I feel like I'm fighting against where my heart is and that's usually 40 miles and 8 work hours away from getting back. Hopefully in the next year or so, I'll be able to work the farm full time.
So...I guess that makes me a Raggedy Farmgirl trapped in a Barbie Doll World temporarily...LOL!

| I am the princess and the pea. I cannot stand a loose thread in my clothing. Makes me CRAZY! I'm not Raggedy Ann so much as stuck in a 1960 camping, girl scout mentality. I think comfie is the only way to go, sans bras, of course. Jeans, cut offs, T's are my wardrobe. And oversize T's around the house and to sleep in. I do, however, respect the decorum of my environment. If I visit a church where women wear skirts/dresses, I do too. Ankle length, no nylons, and soft and drapey. Flat shoes. Simple pleasures. Simple me. |

I can't stand all the manmade fabrics so many clothes are made of today. They are hot and clingy. Just give me some cotton and I am happy. Even if I have to iron it I don't care; ironing is my favorite household task. If I need to relax, I get out the ironing board.

Hi gals!
I have bought skirts and tops from these folks:
http://www.devalifewear.com
It's cotton, simple, comfy, and lasts a long time. Most of their offerings are American made.
Check them out. They can be a bit pricey, but the stuff lasts forever and does not go out of style!
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

| lol love all your comments! I'm a strange combination. I LOVE dressing up, I'm completely comfortable in chore clothes working in the barnyard, cowboy boots and jeans are some of my favorite clothes especially if it means I'm on the back of a horse, and I love victorian clothing; anything that makes you think of Anne of Green Gables, Laura Ingalls, Holly Hobbie.... well you get the idea. I love feeling feminine and wearing aprons. If lace is involved its all good especially if it's hand crocheted or tatted or something. Shawls are some of my all time favorite accessories and make me feel snuggly, feminine and like a lady of quality. Weird huh? |
