What are you wearing today??

ButteMT61 · Oct 29, 2011

Cowboy Pajamas as it's Penn State football day and the wife is in Santa Barbara at the beach house all weekend...no need to get dressed, but I'll be doing some laundry, ironing, boot polishing, etc. :eeek:

On my way to a chilly Field Hocket game. This cow at the rest area just went so well with my Johnson Woolen Mills red cruiser coat.

Everyone looks great, good on y 'all.

Doesn't my big sis look like a million bucks?

Sounds really good Spencer, wish there was a shot of the whole outfit!

A little different today, different shoes and shirt, but a variation on the same theme.

Thanks! I'm rather happy that I still have the opportunity to use them this late in the year. It's cold but sunny here in Berlin. All that aside I really needed the shades to hide the fact that I didn't sleep at all the night before...

Great photo! Looks like it's been taken from some movie.
What kind of place is that? Reminds me of an old cistern I've seen in Slovenia, somewhere near Ljubljana.

^^ Rather a hard night OUT of town - and an even harder time trying to get back INTO town...

Met my Mother for a quick visit to the V&A museum and then a stroll to the Royal Collage of Art for a drink with one of her oldest friends. Stopped for a quick tourist pic outside the Royal Albert Hall.

Thanks! And right you are. It's the McMillan Sand Filtration site in Washington, DC.

1880's ball gown ensemble, made by me.
Will post more details about this in the show us your sewing thread later

Worn to the Gaskell's Fancy Dress Ball Saturday night in Oakland, CA and Cubberly's Friday Night Dance Halloween Party in Palo Alto, CA. I'm wearing little vintage Edwardian eyeglasses that I had my prescription put into. Having the vintage eyewear is the final piece of the puzzle, it really adds so much to the getting the right look..

Me and the Mr., his outfit is from Gentlemen's Emporium online

edited to make it look like an antique picture!

my two teens, I made my daughter's Regency gown
oops, my son forgot his neckerchief on Saturday

oh there it is! My dd's gown is of gold silk dupioni with an embroidered and bejeweled overlay

Carey = All that hard work has paid off 'big time!' Your young un's look 'great!' As do 'you' and your partner!! Amazing - you must have been working 30 hour days to get ALL that achieved 'in time' for the event!!! Bravo.

Levi's 501's jeans, Chippewa Engineer boots, t-shirt, and a horsehide motorcycle jacket.

chanteuseCarey · Oct 30, 2011

thank you Paddy- about two weeks were spent doing this. Though I started working on all the ideas about a month ago. All the fabric and lace used on my ensemble I already had, and Sarah's gold silk yard goods.

One night I only got 1-1/2 hours of sleep, and by the afternoon when I picked up the kids from school I got 'loopy', almost like being punch drunk... I hadn't eaten much that day either (was just too busy to eat)- and actually at one point I got the shakes- that was a bit scary.

All the pin pricks, long hours bent over a sewing machine with my back wrenched, burned fingers from ironing, lack of sleep and the mess in my place I created doing these projects are nothing when compared to the satisfaction I have from it all. Being at these two events- dancing, laughing, enjoying special time with Tom and my children will go down in my long term memory as having been such a wonderful, special time.

This was Friday evening. It was cold and misting rain. This was the first time this fall that I've had need to wear an overcoat.

What are you wearing today??
