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.

Welcome to 3 more articles on the subject of dress. Today we are looking at vintage house dresses, visible underwear making a comeback (!), and Joan Collins' thoughts on jeans and t-shirts as "tragic".



As always, the subjects are varied and interesting. I always look forward to your comments so please chime in with your observations below.


🌹 Let's look at the first article, which was sent to me by KA Leuis: The Outfit That Has Fallen by the Wayside: The History of the House Dress.

I shared this article on my facebook page and so many Connoisseurs chimed in on the lost practice of wearing a house dress. I'd love to discuss this topic more and even explore wearing one in my home... stay tuned for that.

🌹 This article is both shocking and not surprising, discussing how visible underwear is making a comeback. I think you can guess where I stand on this issue! The most disturbing thing about this article is that it was originally featured in Teen Vogue. Why is a magazine geared toward teenagers promoting this kind of dress? This is why I do the videos I do, to counteract the inappropriate popular culture that is inundating our society. This article was sent to me by Tessa Meyers.

🌹 Finally, this article was sent to me by Ashley: Joan Collins Says Wearing Jeans and T-Shirts Is Tragic.

Joan Collins says, "I really hope that people will spend more money on clothes, because nobody dresses up anymore," Collins told Vogue. "If you do, then people stare at you, or make cutting remarks… Well, maybe not cutting, but they’ll say something like, ‘Oh, look at you! You're all dressed up.’ I find that very sad, because it will be the end of women buying elegant clothes in stores. Everybody’s going to end up in jeans and T-shirts, which I think is tragic.”

I suppose this is how I feel about wearing gym clothes every day. My grandmother, Lila, never wore jeans a day in her life. Perhaps this is a generational thing? Were jeans the yoga pants of prior generations? What do you think?

At Home with Madame Chic in Vietnam

View this post on Instagram

Xin chào 🤓 Đây là review cuốn At home with Madame Chic – Thanh lịch từ những khoảnh khắc đời thường ☕️ #ｃｕｄｄｌｅｒｅａｄｓ ☕️ 「Nuôi dưỡng bản thân, chuẩn bị cho một ngày phía trước, và tận hưởng từng khoảnh khắc của nó.」 ➖➖➖ Cuốn này nằm trong series sách về Madame Chic mà bên Bloombooks đã phát hành, trong đó thì em này là cuốn thứ hai được xuất bản tại Việt Nam. Làm thế nào để tận hưởng những khoảnh khắc thường ngày, những công việc nhà chúng ta thường ngại ngần làm cho xong? Hãy cùng đọc cuốn này nhá 🐳 Với tớ thì em nó thực sự là một trong những cuốn sách phù hợp để đọc sau cả ngày dài đi làm, người mệt mệt, mắt hơi díp lại vì buồn ngủ, nhưng vẫn muốn đọc một cái gì đó cho không phí hoài thời gian buổi tối. Và em nó cũng là một trong những cuốn sách khiến tớ cảm thấy dễ chịu vô cùng bởi cảm giác thư thái khi đọc, và chắc chắn sẽ là một cuốn tớ cầm lên mỗi khi muốn thư giãn. Trong cuốn này có rất nhiều phần thú vị, như là một lịch trình dọn dẹp cho người đi làm (ví dụ như giặt đồ trước khi đi làm để rồi trở về nhà khi quần áo của chúng ta đã thơm tho và sẵn sàng để được cất đi), hay cách để xóa tan sự bừa bộn của căn nhà bằng cách giữ những điểm ‘nóng’ được sạch sẽ. Tác giả cũng chia sẻ về cách để tận hưởng các bữa ăn trong ngày, với sự chuẩn bị không tốn quá nhiều thời gian, kèm theo những công thức làm bánh, những list nhạc cho mỗi ngày êm ả hơn. Có một phần tớ rất thích, đó là đoạn tác giả chia sẻ về trà chiều, trong đó tác giả giới thiệu các loại trà phổ biến cùng buổi trà chiều với những món ăn nhẹ cùng bè bạn, hay chỉ là tách trà nóng bên một cuốn sách hay. Thật sự là chỉ đọc thôi cũng thấy dễ chịu rồi huhu. Mọi thứ không hề khó áp dụng đâu, dù bạn làm việc tại nhà, tại văn phòng, hay là một bà nội trợ, đều có thể tìm được phần phù hợp với bản thân mình đó. Nói chung lại thì đây là một cuốn rất nên đọc nếu anh em muốn đọc những trang viết nhẹ nhàng về cách để tận hưởng những khoảnh khắc đời thường một cách tối đa và thư thái nhất đó, tớ thì rất thích cuốn này và đã thêm em nó vào kệ my-fav-of-all-time rồi.
