I've noticed a couple of dress brands that you wear can be ordered in the "long" version which would be a midi for me. I'm leaning toward midi's for fall-a bit easier than a maxi and totally modest. Thanks Jennifer.

Anon, ...Hello ladies, thank you for your comments!<br /><br />Anon, yes, I sometimes receive backlash like that as well from people who just find my channel on YouTube. I find the defensiveness very telling...<br /><br />Anon, I loved that quote! Thank you for sharing! <br /><br />Deborah, I do not find that the sheets rustle. I have the duvet cover and pillows and they are truly amazing. The only downside I would say is that you do have to iron the pillowcases as they get quite wrinkled since it's that pure organic cotton. <br /><br />Kristyn, I agree... although I also agree with the other who say uniforms are just easier. If I didn't homeschool, I think we'd like the kids to have uniforms at their school.<br /><br />Jenny, I received a few comments from Australians on my YouTube channel who said the same thing. It's true... I believe they are better overall as long as the cost is kept low.<br /><br />Mimi, Yes! I totally agree! I would love a nice brown plaid midi skirt for the upcoming season. I'm hopeful!

The clothing that you showed (particularly that first picture) are things that I actually would wear! It's the sort of style I <i>do</i> wear. Many years ago, I not only stopped subscribing to fashion magazines, but stopped <i>looking</i> at them entirely -- even for free at the library. The clothes were just so unrealistic for a woman's quotidian life. Plus the demographic that they are catering to is obviously quite young, and I am... not. (Do they honestly think that young women just starting their careers, with plenty of college debt to pay off have the money to buy clothing that realistically cannot be worn anywhere?) Maybe self-proclaimed "fashionistas" find these clothes boring, but they are a breath of fresh air to me! Very feminine, but without looking frou-frou. <br /><br />Mimi Gregornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-80220094704864514432019-08-09T15:46:10.881-07:002019-08-09T15:46:10.881-07:00Here in Australia most schools have uniforms.Best ...Here in Australia most schools have uniforms.Best thing ever!encourages a school spirit and stops students focusing on their clothes instead of the school day.

I was in high school in the early 90s and I remember a bunch of boys wearing short skirts to school one day in protest (because the cheerleaders could wear short skirts, but the boys couldn't wear shorts). My Christian college required boys to wear collared shirts and khakis to class and chapel, and girls had to have skirts and shirts with sleeves. The boys were annoyed by girls who wore t-shirts with knee length denim skirts because how was it really any different than a boy in denim shorts and a t-shirt? Now all these years later I have four boys so I really do sympathize, though I don't want to see any of my sons in cheerleading skirts! An across-the-board dress code seems to be a good idea.

So often sheets are so crisp that they are actually noisy in the dead of night, and will wake me up! (I move around a lot at night.) For many years I only used flannel sheets because they are quiet. A month ago I did pull out a set of cooler sheets that are... maybe percale? They don't wake me up. But I'd love to know if your sheets are quiet?Deborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-90911967142994678042019-08-09T11:06:27.379-07:002019-08-09T11:06:27.379-07:00A quote from Marvin Hagler (former champion profes...A quote from Marvin Hagler (former champion professional boxer) on moving to Italy: <br />"I've just fallen in love with the whole country, the whole culture," <br />he says. "You know something? The other day I was riding my bike <br />and I saw an 80-year-old woman helping her husband put on a <br />cashmere coat. He's not going anywhere, but he wants to look nice <br />and elegant.

It's interesting that if you look at the comments on the second article, they mostly are negative. They sounded so defensive at the mere suggestion of stepping it up a bit. I'm afraid those of us who want to look presentable always are in the minority and I'm losing hope that it will ever improve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
