Mom is wearing my Pendleton wool suits from my working days, clothes from her deceased sisters, clothes she has gotten on sale & found at Goodwill or thrift shops. Once in a blue moon she paid full price for something. She was a teacher for 25 years & wore something different every day so her wardrobe is extensive.
I have ‘knock around’ clothes for the most part, a couple of tops to go with a pair of jeans or a pair of black Lands End slacks for ‘off the farm’ situations. I do have a “little black dress” .... being a Southern woman, all you need is a little black dress, a string of pearls & a Smithfield ham to handle any social situation. :-)

Made me smile ear to ear to read that!
“...& a Smithfield ham to handle any social situation.”
LOL! Never thought of that! I guess we Yankee Wisconsin Gals could get by with the Little Back Dress, our Green & Gold Packer Mardi Gras Beads, CLEAN barn boots and a Hot Dish* to pass. :)
*Hot Dish: A ‘hotdish’ or ‘hot dish’ is a casserole dish that typically contains a starch, a meat, and a canned or frozen vegetable mixed with canned soup. The dish originates in the Upper Midwest region of the United States, where it remains popular, particularly in Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and eastern Montana. Hotdish is cooked in a single baking dish, and served hot.
LOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
