What I'm Wearing | My version of "Country Chic"!
6:45 PMToday, we ventured out to the country to our favorite Christmas tree farm that we've been buying our trees from for years.
I can't believe some of the prices that I've seen for live trees ($100+) and they're already dry! There is nothing like sawing down your own tree. You know it's fresh and needles won't be all over the place before Christmas!
This is Simplicity 2812. I love this jacket! This is my go-to jacket that I've been pulling from the closet every since I made it for any type of outdoor activity I'm involved in. I love the styling of this jacket... it's very "country-chic" and most importantly it's warm!Time for some Sunday Night Sewing!

That is an awesome outfit for tree-cutting-downing. I especially love the boots.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks Sandy! Same to you!
ReplyDeleteLookin' good out tree shoppin'!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laury!
ReplyDeleteDid you innerline or insulate the jacket in anyway, or was it already insulated when you purchased it?
ReplyDeleteFaye, that quilted fabric was pretty insulated.
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile:-) Definitely more chic than country! Your jacket reminds me of the burberry quilted jackets that are a classic.
ReplyDeleteA very chic outfit indeed. Nice jacket.
ReplyDeleteKarin, that was the look I was originally going for! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy S!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've styled these pictures, especially the tractor background. Your jacket looks comfortable and classy and warm! It's 28 degrees here this morning--I could certainly use a warm jacket today. Brava
ReplyDeleteThanks Judidarling! It was in the mid 40s yesterday. I'm not ready for 20 degree weather yet. Brrrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great jacket! That fabric was a great Joann find.
ReplyDeleteIt really was! Thanks Trisha!
ReplyDeleteLove the way your hair is growing out!
ReplyDeleteThis year I have a fake tree, but its still pretty! You look very stylish and I really love your boots. That color is gorgeous
ReplyDelete!
Thanks LV!
ReplyDeleteLove your country chic look!
ReplyDeleteAround here the prices for live pine trees become outrageous. I remember when I was little my parents would always get a live Christmas tree sawing it their selves with our "help", it was a family thing. These days it's just not viable, and we have no option but to get a fake tree :(
love those boots! cute blog :)
ReplyDeleteIn this part of the country, they practically grow in your backyard! Thanks!
