Styles of Yesteryear

I found the article "Resident to don period clothing for Aiken anniversary" in yesterday’s paper an interesting read. A local lady has made several period outfits from 1875 to celebrate our town’s 175th anniversary. She made some interesting points about how women back then used fabric very efficiently and only replaced their dresses every 5 to 10 years. That’s definitely a contrast with today’s practically disposable fashions.

    Well hello there! I didn’t realize you were back to blogging. How are you keeping yourself busy (other than with your sweet little baby, that is)?

    Hi! Yes, I’m trying to get the blog updated occasionally. I’m keeping busy looking for a job right now, and trying to get my web portfolio back up to snuff.
