Day 3 for the dress and dogs. yes… I have two of them. At first I was concerned that i would be covered with dog hair… I ordered the steel gray #Rowena. But I must say that it hasn’t been a problem.
Woolamina is the name I chose for my dress Woolamina Merino, to be formal. And she is holding up beautifully…. dog hair and all.
For those of you who still haven’t heard…I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with the weekly travels.
Today’s goal:
- Pick an outfit that is comfortable and goes well with dogs.
- Pack up and drive to the coast

This is the Dude. Not big on photos… More on the Dude and Rainey HERE!
What’s in store for today:
It’s a sunny winter day in Portland. If you have ever seen the show Portlandia — you know how much we cherish the sunshine. Everyone outside soaking up the vitamin D
But still quite brisk — low 40s. So I will need to bundle up!!

Woolamina paired with a plaid flannel shirt by Jachs’ Girlfriend .
And my FAVORITE BOOTS, made by Chippewa. You can wear them all day long.

Vest is by Orvis. I have had this for years, and wear it with everything. I love it with the Rowena.

Sterling necklace beads are from Mexico, and Pendant was from a stall in the French Market in New Orleans

Today’s outfit worked for me — comfortable, dogproof and yet not sloppy.

That’s about it for my choice today’s dress and dogs outfit!
OH… and by the way.. last night’s class with Carla of the Appalachian Flatfooting & Clogging Academy was a blast. I think I am going to sign up for a course. Check it out HERE
Maybe not exactly what the instructor had in mind… just me acting silly last night!

Off to the coast… stay tuned for more!

SOME OF MY RECENT POSTS:
2022 day 6
Day 6 Day 6 was all the way up in the low 50s, so I took advantage of the pleasantly balmy weather to get the 250 tulip bulbs that I had ordered late into their intended spot. I can't wait until spring comes. Tulips do really well up here in Portland, and...
2022 day 5
Day 5 Day 5 was a busy one. All the regular stuff, plus a trip to the Post Office to mail something to Holly, the beautiful daughter of a fellow "woolie" -- someone who also did the 100 day dress challenge. I had a pleasant trip to Trader Joes, and while...
2022 day 4
Day 4 Day 4 warmed up a bit. And not a bit too soon for me. It was still chilly, but up in the 40s. And that gave me a little bit of time to get things straightened up outside. I still haven't gotten the tulip bulbs in, but that is coming...next warm...
