Blue Jean — whoever invented it is a genius! Apparently a collaboration between Jacob Davis and Levi Straus!!
I particularly like it in a dress! Although I used to have an overall dress that I loved in the ’70s — I think we called them Hogwashers. Wish I could find one like that again… but this is a close second, and probably a bit more flattering.
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
What’s in store today:
Time to head back to the coast today, but not before connecting with My Daughter the Chef– who I never get to spend enough time with! Of course, there is dance practice and an online zoom jug band sing-along and jam tonight!
You can probably guess why blue jean works for me — and I especially love this little pintucked tunic/dress from Chico’s. One of my Goodwill finds… and I haven’t worn it much. But it works well and a Jacket/modern-day lab-coat!
I played around with the Scarf, and even tried it as an obi style sash…. but in the end, I think I just like it down. Breaks up the color blocks, and makes it interesting.
You can see that I have been practicing my Appalachian Flatooting and Clogging– the page is still open on my Lenovo Chromebook Duet ! Trying to make a habit…9 am every day!
Josef Siebel fisherman sandals — I actually had a pair just like this about 20 years ago — wore the heck out of them. Imagine my surprise finding them at the thrift store — brand new… and in my size!
The scarf is another thrift store find… LOVE it!
Thanks for joining me on my blue jean post. Stay tuned for the next 56 days of #tracywearswool!
.
Be well!
