Homemaking English Country Inspired Outfit Fall Fashion 2022
Fall is here and the same old styles are still thrilling me. Oversized sweaters, leggings and riding style boots! Welcome to my little stylish corner of the countryside. I love walking this road because it is lined with oak trees and this lovely fence. It is such beautiful countryside for a walk. The first thing I do when I wake up is throw on my clothes and go outside to walk. One of my favorite things to wear for my outdoor excursions as well as for house work, is perhaps the most poorly understood fashion item of the decade: leggings. Leggings are classic pants when made with the right fabric…

Grocery Shopping Town Outfit : Homemaker Fashion
In today’s fashion world of somber black, grey and lots of neutrals…I just need some levity to my senses. I need some pattern, color, and something that looks distinctly feminine.

Traditional Feminine Fashion : Homemaking Outfit in the Countryside
Hi ladies, I am writing to you from my wistful Autumnal mood. For clothing, I have been loving a specific color of red. A deep wine red.

My boots are nearly worn through but I am still blessed to have them work. I love the height and shape and color of this pair. When I can afford a new pair this is my template for…

Countryside Style : Fashion for Home & Outdoors
Many people think that dressing nice for daily living is not realistic. But nice clothing has fortitude if you pick the right pieces. Like my beautiful caramel colored leather boots here that I have been wearing for 5 years. Here is what’s realistic: they are scuffed and worn from walking on rock pathways and dirt nearly every day for the last 5 autumns and winters. Being in the countryside means significant wear on items which requires them to be made out of better materials with superior construction. I can not skimp on quality for boots but I found these in a thrift shop nearly brand new all those years ago…

Were you ever told about the job of running a home? Do you know it’s ok to earn money but that is not what qualifies you as a “working woman”?
