Oh What Shall I Wear ?
This to me is an age old question, one made more
complicated by abundance, and good fortune.
In yesteryear I believe the question could be answeredquicker and without much ado. Our fore-sisters had
but ..... only a few garments to choose from,
each created by their own hand.
The one or two every day dresses they wore, accompanied by the ever present work apron.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or the one or two "good" dresses saved for
Church and visiting friends and neighbors.
Today our lives are so much easier as we go about ourdaily tasks but some how we have made it way more complex,
due in part to the blessings of choice ~~
Which leads me back to.....Oh What shall I Wear ?

Hope today finds you warm, snug, wearing a smile
dressed in something
comfortable from your closet ~~

As someone who has designed costumes for many, many plays and musicals, one of the thing I was most frequently asked was, "Why is the underwear so elaborate? It's like another set of clothes!"
ReplyDeleteI always reminded them, "Well ... if you had to wear the same few dresses every day and they rarely got washed ..."
Gosh - I'm always compaining "I don't have anything to wear", but your post gives me perspective! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post Connie!....and it's so true....love the pics of your hand-dids too! Janet :)
ReplyDeleteWell...I only have a FEW garments to wear....not that the closet is NOT full - the garments are just not the right size!!!! Right now the size is extra, extra large...dear me how did this happen???? XO Judy
ReplyDeleteHow is this possible? I guess that is what happens when there was no fast food to eat. One size fits always! LOL Cute post.

Love all your browns!! Hi Connie...hope your feeling good today. I just started feeling better a few hours ago ~ thank goodness! I'm wearing my smile now :-)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful. Wouldn't it be nice if we only had a few things to wear and it was acceptable these days. I'd be fine in brown homespuns!
Love and hugs to you ~~ Jenn
Hi Connie,
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful post. I love all the old clothing. Now that is something I need to add to my fantasy shopping trip!!
I love that quote as well, hugs, Linda
Really sweet post, Connie. And, as always, fantastic photos!

LOL - yeah, I posted that before I came here and saw your wonderful clothing. Any idea where I need to shop for it?
ReplyDeleteHi, I ♥love♥ all of that clothing! A great collection, I have a few items, an old slip, a couple of baby things and a bonnet!
ReplyDeleteI no longer ask that question, after I stopped working I downsized my wardrobe to just a few basics, makes life easier! I have a fall/winter and spring/summer tiny wardrobe with maybe 3 dressy things!
Love your post!

Connie~I just love your posts...they really make me think. I just said to my husband the other day...there is just too many choices of EVEYTHING! I wish things were simpler. And from another perspective, as a stay at home Mom..what should I wear today for me means which pair of yoga pants should I put on and which sweatshirt should I wear Iowa or Nebraska! LOL! My kids don't care what I wear and that is wonderful! So I am almost always comfy and I almost always have a smile on my face!! They didn't call me "dimples" in highschool for nothing! :) Thanks for brightening my day! Take care. ~Sarah~

ReplyDeleteHoping you a Wonderful Weekend, Pamela
I loved this post! :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I lived back then...able to make my own clothes (as I hope to continue learning now) and it being totally OK to just wear the same few dresses. :)
HI
ReplyDeleteLove this post. Where did you find the piece with the bonnett on it and also the old dress? Did you make them or buy them. I would love some of those
