Can we just go back to a time where women wore fancy dresses all the time and men wore top hats?
ReplyDeleteTop hats seem nasty to wear to me, like carrying a stack of books on your head. I am currently translating a book where women wear those big gowns and bonnets. Imagine traveling with all that apparel.
DeleteI am not a fan of having things on my head either, but I think it would be fun to dress up like old time fancy Brits and have a soiree. However, I did mention to Allison on our way home from Colorado that I am glad people no longer dress up to take flights anymore. I can't imagine not putting on a pair of leggings and a sweater to fly in comfort over being fashionable on an airplane.
DeleteOne can be fashionable in a tracksuit as well. I always wear tracksuit pants everywhere because I do not fit in jeans LOL and I do look stylish when I combine them preppy style with vests, padded jackets and modern sneakers.
DeleteOh, absolutely it can be fashionable when accessorized correctly. I don't care much for jeans and how uncomfortable they are. I've never found a pair that fit me correctly either. Jason prefers tracksuit pants as well. Hardly do I ever see a pair of denim come through the laundry cycle from either of us.
DeleteI have just one jeans from denim that contains elastine in it too, but I still feel like wearing metal knight's pants in them. I am too fat for jeans business. I do like cargo pants but cannot find any nice ones. Jeans is not supposed to be washed, that is interesting historical fact. They created it in early days so that you never have to wash it as they were created for cowboys and gold diggers.
DeleteI did once read that they can go forever without needing washed, but I will wear mine 2 or 3 times before putting them in the wash. Same with sweaters when I have an undershirt on with them. Unless I spill something on my clothes, then I'll stretch out the washes as long as I can to keep them from wash wear.
DeleteOh, I never wash my sweaters LOL But then again I do not wear them often, some have not been worn for years maybe a decade LOL
DeleteDahlink ,why do you hang onto clothes for decades if you are not wearing them? I value my dresser and closet space too much to hold onto stuff I don't wear anymore.
DeleteWell I might be thin again one day LOL I have so much clothes that I worn just once or even never due to my weight fluctuations, that I couldn't possibly have the heart to throw anything unless it has holes in it. I stuff everything I do not wear in the other empty room at my floor, it is all stacked in the wardrobes there and some have not been used for twenty years LOL And it is not like I have a place to wear anything given that I work at home and have no social life LOL
DeleteHope is a funny thing LOL. I have hope too that I will be thin again without being sick and have held onto 2 pairs of pants though that I just can't part with because I loved them so much. The rest I gave away to families in need. I hardly ever wear my clothes either, because like you, I'm almost always working in the house. I've been on a massive purge in my house this past year. Allison has been getting pissed that I'm giving away all of her inheritance items.
DeleteMy mother did that once too, so we now have nothing from times past, she even threw out everything we wore or had as kids, but knowing her that did not really surprise me. I have nothing to inherit from her, and we did not inherit anything of items from grandparents either, their houses had nothing interesting. Poor Allysabeth, you must set her up with a trust fund now that you are rich entrepreneurs LOOOOL
DeleteShe's mad that I got rid of a lot of Halloween and Christmas decorations and stood over me approving what I could discard and what we were keeping as we decorated last year. Then she bought me some decorations she liked because she told me she knew she'd get them back one day when I died LOL! I did save in our attic many of her treasured toys that I think she'd want to pass down to her children some day. As for dishes and appliances and stuff that we don't use and take up space, she can buy her own when she moves out. I've already told my mom I don't want any of her crap and am thankful that she's been slowly weeding stuff out over the years so I have less to deal with when she passes. Like your grandparents, mine had nothing interesting either, except for a few sentimental items that I let the cousins have. I just don't want junk piled up from relatives for the sake of memories if they aren't useful to me now.
DeleteIt is difficult for us here to set up everything new after you move out as we are so poor, so inheriting stuff is good. Most people get their own house only if they have the luck to inherit it. We even have that option to take care of some old people who have nobody and they then let your inherit their house or flat.
DeleteWe are indeed fortunate to live in a land of plenty. Even on our local facebook free groups, I am often surprised at the things people give away. I'm not talking cheap items, either. Kitchenaid mixers, washing machines, almost brand new baby items... I got a baker's rack, tea pot set, 9 foot Christmas tree, Calvin Klein coat, and lots of other things all for free from people getting rid of things. The abundance here is mind blowing. However, I do not think the younger generation will ever be able to afford housing the way us older folk have in the past. Like Serbia, unless inherited, many will not be home owners. I've went back and forth on keeping ours in case Allison ever needs a home down the line. But I think the best solution there would be to build our farmhouse, then break her off an acre of land to build a small home on. Then she can move into ours when we're dead, saving her former home for her children and so forth. The tides are shifting here, and not for the better. The inflation on everything coupled with a stagnant minimum wage means the next generation is pretty much effed at this point.
DeleteMaybe Trumpie will make America great again if they don't arrest him before that LOL Poor sod...
