4/27 Friday Challenge: The Country

[Purplelabel]

I’m in!!

Country bumpkin for life.

Not official post, but something to tie me over until this weekend when I can do a proper outfit.

I was wondering who would be the first to bust out the Barbour!

If a yank beats a Brit I’ll be so salty.

Well, it's traditional countryside clothing, the local 'Tracht' called Steireranzug. It was popularized by Archduke John of Austria in the early 19th century and he was quite an outdoor man.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I have no idea of what to wear. But will try to get something.

I think many color combos you've posted remind me of the country. You can take your inspiration from country colors if you like. Maybe even include a picture of the countryside and show how your outfit picks up the colors.

When you’re from Southern California “the country” can be quite a different thing than rolling green hills and pine trees. Here I’ve interpreted it as the place where the ocean meets the land, a landscape ever present in the minds of those who live, and those who aspire to live, near the Pacific Ocean.

Bonus point to anyone who knows where the seascape below is.

When I think of being out in the country, this is what I'm imagining myself wearing - tweed, a Shetland knit, baggy corduroys and some grain leather chukka boots:

This is great. Love that sweater. How many cable knit sweaters do you own?

Thanks. I've got four - olive, green, orange and navy.

All right here goes, I keep plugging away regardless of the outcome because it’s so damn fun!
When I think of the country I think of one of my favorite movies, The Quiet Man. Here is my modern take.

Ready for a day in the country. Layers. Camo jacket, full Norfolk, cavalry twill pants, tumbled leather boots. Green, brown, purple.

Loden green tweed, brown lambswool sweater, striped button-down, brown cords, and scotch grain derby boots. Perfect for strolling around country manors - indoor and out.
