    How Classic Style Makes You Look Younger : Fashion Over 35

    September 22, 2022 /

    The more I age….the more I find how classic clothing flatters women. If I did not photograph myself so much for this country fashion blog, I would have my skepticism. I do appreciate a wide variety of styles. But there are a few things classic cuts do, that I find more supportive of my beauty as I age, that other styles don’t do as well. This outfit is a wonderful example of these features that I find work so well. I trained myself to sleep on my back for years but I would rather just enjoy my sleep now so I side sleep as well now and this means…..chest wrinkles.…

    Italian Countryside Inspired Fashion : Floral Skirt Outfit

    September 19, 2022 /

    What I love about cultivating a life at home in the countryside is the room for inspiration. I am not boxed in by buildings or other houses and culture that dictate to me what defines the beauty and ambiance around me. My atmosphere is set by the sweeping oak trees, the soft bending blades of grass, the butterflies that are fluttering over the pasture. This is the setting of beauty. All I do is let myself dream and the inspiration comes through my preening of the world around me. I find a common thread….pun intended, to the styles I am drawn to and the undeterred femininity of the fashions of…

    Be a Considerate Dog Owner When Hostessing Guests : Etiquette

    September 14, 2022 /

    “Pets welcome. People tolerated.” “If you don’t like my dog, leave.” We all love our own dog and might laugh at those quotes but the root of that mentality is uncaring. Yes it’s your home but when you offer it to someone else for say, a dinner, consideration of the person invited is the policy. There is a limit to this bending of course, but when it is within your power to keep someone uncomfortable from a dog that jumps up on them or demands their attention when they just want to converse with you without a dog up in their face, we should put the dog away for that…

    Hi ladies, I am showing you this outfit that I adore for every day hard work at home.

    Countryside Style : Fashion for Home & Outdoors

    September 9, 2022 /

    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…

    Housewives are Working Women

    August 29, 2022 /

    This article is written from a Biblical Christian perspective to encourage other Christian wives. Did you know that you are a “working woman” when you become a wife? 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”? All I ever wanted was to be a wife running my own home, but I knew to never admit this was my primary ambition. No one was ever presenting this to me as an option. I was prodded toward the workforce with great intensity and never a word mentioned about being a…

    2 Meal Planning Strategies for Food Fatigue & Picky Eaters

    Meal planning is one of the most difficult aspects to running a household. This can be a shocking aspect to running a household as a new wife. It can remain a difficult task that you fumble through for years, even a lifetime without maintaining a system that works. Just take a glimpse at the enormity of the task:You have to stock your kitchen and keep it stocked. You have to buy ingredients on a rotation for the meals you need to cook for the next few weeks. But you also have to maintain a food stock aside from just the things you need for the next few weeks. It needs…

    Styling Leggings with Class : Wardrobe Staple for the Country Woman

    August 23, 2022 /

    There comes a point with style that you just have to like what you like regardless of what someone else declares. A designer who lives in a city might not be someone I should even be taking my style advise from. But I have heard a lot of women, not necessarily fashion designers push back against leggings. I think we need a quick guide to wearing leggings with class. I think styling is the problem, not the item itself. I love a good pair of straight leg or slightly tapered trousers and jeans. However, those are a bit more particular to style as a short woman. But when I wear…
