What’s a girl to wear when walking her dog down the road in rural Maine? My designer dog (a shihdoodle) deserves my best waltz-down-the-road, Maine, designer clothing. The feature piece of this ensemble is the most user-friendly coat I have owned — purchased for full price from Lands End. The best accessory I have owned is my circa mid-century Leave-it-to-Beaver bathrobe. Then comes the one-for-every-day-of-the-week, thrift store-find, flannel nightgown accessorized with fur Tecnika boots bought at thrift for $5. Please note the designer crampons and the Mad Bomber hat that makes me appear headless when we have blizzard conditions outside. In the summertime I leave the hat, boots and coat behind and spray on an outer layer of deet. It's all true. I wear this on the road. This is Maine!
I think you have something here. You may just be the coolest Mainer out there. I mean cutting edge. Taking the bathrobe to a whole new level. It wasn't that long ago that rich kids at private schools started wearing their flannel pajama bottoms to school as a fashion statement. Now we could have Madonna walking her dog in a flannel robe. Have you contacted Vogue?
ReplyDeleteI love the art behind the picture and you are a GREAT write. Maybe you should consider some kind of photography book. I'm serious.
