My grandmother had given it to me and it was better quality than what my parents could afford at the time. HOWEVER, I didn't care for red. I mutinied in my own quiet way. I took a pair of scissors and cut a tiny notch in the skirt, hoping then I wouldn't have to wear it. My mother noticed of course and wondered how it came to be. But being an excellent seamstress, she mended it. I then had to wear the mended dress. Well, that taught me. I still don't care for red, though . . .Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021913578112308091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-26096220541274056262011-05-30T17:34:27.128-04:002011-05-30T17:34:27.128-04:00I've stepped out to visit with writer friends,...I've stepped out to visit with writer friends, in my coal grey linen trousers and coal grey linen jacket-coat.

I suppose I like to look co-ordinated and appropriately dressed for whatever I'm doing. These days that is mostly gardening, walking the dog and similar occupations which entail 'sensible' clothes:) What I'm wearing today would tell you that it isn't very warm and that I plan on going out with the dog again pretty soon.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-65639593157574802422011-05-30T05:35:05.502-04:002011-05-30T05:35:05.502-04:00Your new frock coat sounds wonderful as do your ch...Your new frock coat sounds wonderful as do your choice of cool, crisp linens for the heat of the day!

However, it is a Baank Holiday weekend here in the UK and tomorrow we are off to celebrate our son's birthday so, I shall dress accordingly.<br />I love the sound of your new jacket and it sounds so 'you'. ....and, I can remember a dress similar to your red one, although mine was lemon. You look so ladylike in it.<br />I really don't subscribe to the designer 'thing' but, I love anything that is different and has some sort of detail or other....an asymetrical hem or a tailed jacket or the like.....and, I'm afraid, they are nearly always black !! I now call it my signature !! haha.

I was just thinking of the recent royal wedding and how we were all fascinated by the clothing worn by everyone involved. From Kate and her beautiful sister Pippa to Prince William and Prince Harry to the guests and their very English outfits and hats. The elegance was off the charts.<br />Today I will be going to the local farmers' market and will most likely be in my most comfortable white jeans with a summery tunic and some bare sandals.<br />I am so happy to discover your fabulous blog and will be following it now!Sunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-10967379283594751572011-05-29T11:56:08.679-04:002011-05-29T11:56:08.679-04:00How cute is Miss Pamela, a true Southern little la...How cute is Miss Pamela, a true Southern little lady with her foot gently poised forward. You were showing your true colours even then. :)<br /><br />This coat you described has me yearning for more. Would love to see (hint, hint)....<br /><br />So interesting that you wrote this post today. I just returned from an outing to a local Antique Fair. A virtual treasure trove of all that you described here. You would have loved it! <br />My outfit today is saying 'I gotta be me'. LK Bennett jeans rolled a fraction, soft suede blue flats, navy jersey singlet with my new favourite top, a light coffee coloured linen top. Think safari...it is a cross between a jacket and a shirt...so comfortable! A light scarf from India in paisley pattern with touches of beige, blue and green and my necklace, a cross from Bethlehem which I never take off. Oh yes, and my Polo men's sunglasses..all the things that say 'I gotta be me'. I call it "midlife beauty, take it or leave it" :)<br /><br />Best wishes Pamela and thanks for your thoughtful comments. <br /><br />Jeanne xxxJeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-28664352838913838122011-05-29T09:20:17.184-04:002011-05-29T09:20:17.184-04:00i love a uniform... 12 years of parochial school i...i love a uniform... 12 years of parochial school indoctrinated me well. today calls for comfort: a misty, cool 50 degrees farenheit here in northern japan. wearing my husbands thermals, wooly socks, thick henley, no makeup and hair knoted at the nape. aaahhh, wedded bliss. lisaASLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059859028902933556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-78190985189028239462011-05-29T07:22:19.252-04:002011-05-29T07:22:19.252-04:00Back from a lovely English Spring - and my one day...Back from a lovely English Spring - and my one day in Scotland required nought more than a light sweater as it was warmish, sunny, and blowing a still gale along Edinburgh's Royal Mile.<br /><br />Here, the NC heat and humidity zapped me as soon as I exited the airport - 90 degrees at night time!!<br /><br />Today, garden chores - and trying to live comfortably with 5 fox kits plus their mama, outside my back door - so throwing on comfy cotton cropped pants, a soft loose tee and my running shoes!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you in the new jacket - sounds gorgeous. My only clothing purchase while home, elegant pale grey linen jeans (wearing them rolled for Spring - Italian fabric to die for!
