Welcome to a new episode of 3 Articles on Dress. Today we are looking at the recent Royal Tour, crystal eye embellishments, and why so many people are entering "Goblin Mode'. 

NPR documents the house dress renaissance, the Girl Scouts upgrade their uniforms for the first time in twenty years, and Venice Film festival's best dressed red carpet looks. Welcome to a new edition of 3 Articles on Dress.



Let's have a look at the articles:

Żaneta Mieszczak/Malgosia Archer

⚜️ Many people sent me this article from NPR, which states that the house dress is the fashion statement of 2020
Many women are rediscovering the house dress this year and are choosing house dresses over other choices of loungewear. I would love to know... do you own a house dress? I have converted one of my dresses from my fall wardrobe last year into a "gardening dress". I'll share more about that with you in a future ten-item wardrobe video.

Mentioned in the article: Dwell and Slumber and Gosh Yaga



⚜️ The Girl Scouts upgrade their uniforms for the first time in twenty years. First of all, isn't it weird that the 90s were over twenty years ago? I still can't wrap my mind around that. I like the new Girl Scout uniforms and think they are very fashion forward. I bet the Scouts are happy about them too. What do you think?



Cate Blanchett

⚜️ And finally, Vogue shares the best dressed looks at the Venice Film Festival. With the lack of events due to Covid, many eyes have been on the recent fashion at the Venice film festival. I enjoyed many of the looks I saw, with my favorites being Cate Blanchett and Lotte Verbeek. Who were your best dressed looks?

*Please note: at the time of filming this video, the Venice Film Festival was still taking place so the article contains even more looks that were not discussed in this chat.

I hope you enjoy today's video.

Comment of the Week
Unknown writes, "After watching the first video you made on the Lessons from “Farmer Boy” I was inspired to read this book again. I never appreciated this book as I found it an interruption of Laura Ingalls stories. But reading it on its own I have to say this book is a gem.
And a big thank you to you for directing me to it and all the lessons. My favourite lesson was #1 “Homemaking Traditions anchored their week.” It has motivated me to start some new weekly traditions in my home."


Thank you for your comment! I enjoyed that lesson too. It has motivated me to keep traditions going on a weekly basis in our own home.

Is your style Grandmillenial? What is "Granny Chic" and why are young people embracing it? Let's explore...



Welcome to a new 3 Articles on Dress. Today we are analyzing the rise of Grandmillennial Style. What is it? And why are so many young people turning toward the "Granny Chic" aesthetic?


Image from One King's Lane


The first article comes from House Beautiful, which also contains a quiz to find out if you are a Grandmillennial. Many of my readers sent me this article. Should I be flattered that I reminded so many people of the Grandmillennial? 😆

This article from Today breaks down the Granny Chic style that is being adopted by Grandmillennials... What say you?

This article from Better Homes & Gardens asks What is Grandmillennial Style?

What is 'grandmillennial' style? Why young people are embracing granny chic
The 'grandmillennial' style sees young adults embracing the granny chic look of their mothers and grandmothers.


Image from College Style

I am happy that there is a burgeoning community of women who are embracing new traditionalism and rejecting the perpetually casual leggings culture that has taken so many styles captive. After all, there's room for all sorts of styles in this big, wide world, eh? :)

In today's video, I'm wearing the SKYE Azilis 18K gold freshwater pearl brooch Jennifer20 for 20% off
and the linen white dress I'm listing a similar one here.


I hope you enjoy today's video.

Ova je knjiga moj odabir za svibanj. Radi se o knjizi "Connoisseur Kids", autorice Jennifer L. Scott. Podnaslov je taj koji ju određuje, a na engleskom glasi: Etiguette, Manners and Living Well for Parents and Their Little Ones. Radi se o praktičnoj i vrlo inspirativnoj knjizi koja obiluje dobrim savjetima, slasnim receptima, raznim igrama kojima možete zabavljati svoju obitelj. Podijeljena je na područja i to: - komunikacija, - ponašanje za stolom, - urednost, - odnos s drugima, - higijena i njega te - zdravlje. Jednom sam ju već pročitala, a ovaj mjesec potrudit ću se isprobati što više društvenih igrara sa svojom dječicom, a možda i koji slasni recept.😊 Čitam uglavnom prije spavanja i bez problema prođem i više od 20 stranica. Koja je knjiga vaš odabir za ovaj mjesec? Koji žanr preferirate? #spaceforhome #zadacicpozadacicbymarija #connoisseurkids #jenniferlscott #dailyconnoisseur #bookofthemonth #mindfulness

Comment of the Week

kai west writes, "What you do, Jennifer, is to give validation to all of us who have chosen 'domestic life' as a full time career (even though we do other things as well) Work at home can be socially isolating (which is why some women/men may choose not to be involved in it) but your videos demonstrate that we are not alone, and the work of 'home' can be as useful and beautiful as work outside the home. Thank you, so very much!"


Thank you, Kai! Your comment was the most liked comment on this week's homemaking video. I found your observation to be very encouraging and appreciate the sentiment!

Thank you for watching today's video. I would love to know... are you a Grandmillennial? Let us know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the channel.

Stylish face masks (according to Vogue), Dr. Deborah Birx's scarves, and the news anchor who thought he could get away with not wearing pants on camera... yikes! Welcome to 3 Articles on the Subject of Dress.



⚜️ The first article we discuss comes from Vogue and shares 87 of the most stylish face masks on the market right now. I enjoyed this article and looking at the various masks because we are going to try to replicate these at home with our sewing machine. If we have to wear masks, we might as well make them stylish. I would love to know... which mask was your favorite? If you are looking to buy handmade face masks, you can find a good variety on Etsy.

⚜️ The second article is from The Philadelphia Inquirer and discusses Dr. Deborah Birx's scarves. Dr. Birx's scarves are an elegant, yet professional signature style. An Instagram account has been dedicated to her scarves and analyzes the various ways in which she wears them.

Here are two good resources for silk scarves for you to check out: Mont Kiji and Nordstrom.

⚜️ The final article comes from The Wrap and discusses ABC news anchor, Will Reeve (Christopher Reeve's son), who appeared on camera without his, well, pants on! Many people joke that when they work from home, they dress on top for the Zoom calls and wear shorts or other non-professional items on the bottom. This is a funny story, but I have another take on it that you'll hear about in today's video.

Comment of the Week
Torrie writes, "Hey! I just found your blog the other week, and I'm loving it so far! You'll be happy to know that you've inspired me to start getting dressed in real clothes every day, ha ha--I've been a stay-at-home mom for the last four years, and let's just say that I've always found it a struggle to get dressed unless I was going somewhere. Now, during the pandemic, it was getting even harder. But you've inspired me to get ready every single day---hair, makeup, real clothes!--and it really has given me an extra boost of motivation to tackle whatever the day ahead brings."

Torrie, thanks for commenting and sharing your experience and welcome to the blog! I'm so glad you've been feeling motivated through dress.

Thank you for joining us today for 3 Articles on Dress. I would love to hear your opinions on the articles listed. Let us know your thoughts and your comment could be chosen a comment of the week.

Take my affordable eCourses on the POISE *NEW course*, debt-free living, and efficiency at home

If our clothing tells a story, what narrative to pajamas and sweatpants tell? Also, New Zealanders are embracing #FormalFridays and one women wears a dress as a uniform. Welcome to 3 articles on the subject of dress.



I hope you had a lovely weekend... Happy Easter! We had a beautiful day even though we were on lockdown. It was relaxing and peaceful. So relaxing that I didn't get my work done and that's why this video is late :)

Also, thank you to everyone who has taken my new eCourse, Carry Yourself With Poise. It is a wonderfully fun course filled with passionate like-minded women who are all committed to living an elegant lifestyle.

Cheryl S. writes, "Jennifer, your content and advice is perfect. I appreciate that you share some of your own failures and struggles. I feel the pursuit of elegance and poise is a lifelong endeavor and we will make mistakes along the way. But, I believe the cost vs. the benefit of elegance and dignity is so worth the effort. Thanks for your inspiration."

Thank you so much, Cheryl. I am so happy you enjoyed the course!

Ok, now on to the 3 Articles on Dress:

The first article on the narrative of sweatpants was sent to me by Ginger W. from The Washington Post.

"To work from home and never take off your pajamas can, at first, feel like a kind of liberation — a celebration of comfort and a rebuke to stuffy corporate rules that demand pantyhose in summer and a jacket at all times. But going through an entire day in loungewear, it is easy to lose yourself and your sense of purpose and focus. Our clothes create boundaries. They mark time. Folks who regularly work from home speak of the need to change out of their pajamas into something, anything else to announce their day has begun. To not feel like a sloth. To feel ready to face the world because without the world, who are you?"

The next article on #FormalFridays in New Zealand was sent to me by Charlene R.

Finally, my friend, Joy Forney, sent me this article from Glamour Magazine on wearing a dress as a uniform.

I would love to know your thoughts on all of the articles discussed...

Comment of the Week
Camilla writes, "How wonderful! I have enrolled now. Will take my time and enjoy this course.
I have learned so much from you over the years, Jennifer. I have one story I wish to share with you: back in 2015 I was finishing my Bachelor’s degree at university. I was writing my final paper and did all the work from home. So, I went around in sweatpants and told myself that I had to pour all my energy into my writing and not care about something as silly as clothes and appearance. But one day I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror. I realized that I looked as tired as my outfit. I had read your book the previous year and followed your blog, so I had learned how important looking presentable really is. So, from that day onwards I took some time each morning to put on a nice outfit and do my hair. And what a difference that made to how I worked with my paper! I ended up with a solid A and I am absolutely certain that I would not have achieved that result had I not followed your advice. So, thank you so much for all that you share with us, it really makes a difference and improves lives."

Camilla, I loved your testimony of how looking presentable helped you achieve your goals. Thank you for sharing it with us and congratulations!
