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:
day 51:a little bit of soul
Sometimes it just takes a little bit to make things right. And apparently, I didn't have it. Not today, and certainly not when I took most of these photos. Maybe it was because I was peeved at a situation that I had no control over, or maybe I was distracted. But...
day 50: both sides now
I've looked at life from both sides now. And I still couldn't figure out which style to pick today. Part of me wanted to dress up... to celebrate hitting the halfway point of the dress challenge. Part of me said -- you need to do some work in the garden and run...
day 49: black coffee
Black Coffee...but you can skip the cigarettes! You see, I quit over 10 years ago... haven't had one since then. I started knitting about 40 ish years ago and used to make little baby sweaters and hats when the kids were little. But single motherhood... with 4 kids...
