Modern Retro Housewives

Here is an interesting essay on being a modern retro housewife I thought ya'll might like.

I don't wear heels and hose either - I'm in hot FL and I have to wear good shoes for my back. However, I have found that trying to fix myself up in the morning actually helps me work better. I get a lot more done when I don't feel like I look bummy.

Love the article! I would so much love to be more like Donna Reed, but unfortunately there are times when I'm more like Rosanne Barr! Oy! Well, I have the heart of Donna Reed anyway.

Love, love, love this essay! I don't look like a 50's housewife, but I sure wish I did. My husband would be in heaven!

I did find four linen shifts I've been wearing like uniforms this summer. Simplified my mornings and made me feel so much more put together. Yay for dresses!

Loved this article! I'm not into heels and pantyhose at home, but I do like to get up and dressed to (sensible) shoes every morning. I'd love to be more of a modern retro!

That article is really neat! I liked it! It made me want to go out and buy some nice clothes to wear around the house, not the bummy things that I've been wearing until they fall apart!
