The past few days have been spent in a leisurely fashion. This means that my time has been spent in my comfy house dresses (or so I have been calling them).
While visiting with my mother the other day, she informed me that my grandmother used to call what I call house dresses, house coats. I was curious if there was a difference, so I did what any normal person would do, I googled it. I had no idea there was a difference. What I learned is that a house dress is a dress that is made of more durable fabric and is structured in a way so that house work and chores can be done in a proper fashion. A house coat is more like a glorified apron. It resembles a dress, but has snaps or a zipper down the front making it useful to put over a dress already being worn or just over your "unders". Glad that I could learn the difference and I will be more clear in my description of my dress choices.
I wore the above house dress on Monday. I ended up having to run to Logan, so I paired it with some boats, leggings, and a sweater. I also thrifted this dress. I realize that it's a little bright and the print is a little juvenile, but in this inversion a little bright is a good thing.
Tuesday, I spent the day tending my adorable niece, Flora, while my brother and his wife attended the Sundance Film Festival. It was kind of an all day endeavor, so I have no pics for that day. I wore another house dress, my yellow and brown plaid one. It was a great day.
Today I mostly hung around the house, so comfy was in order. I dug out a skirt I bought a few years back in Denver. It's soft and easy to wear. It was fun to throw on my Eagles t-shirt. It helped me achieve that "peaceful, easy feeling". I was home enough today that I was able to whip up a pot of my mom's clam chowder....yum!
*I'll put the recipe, if you are interested, on my other blog. Check it out.
