Friday Challenge:
Chore Coats - ends 3/20

Inspired by recent posts by @EFV, @Gerry Nelson, and others … I’m choosing the ubiquitous chore coat as the subject for this challenge. It’s become a staple in my wardrobe and it has appeal with both CM and SW&D audiences. I also believe it has the ability to be versatile in different climates as both Erik and Gerry have beautifully demonstrated.

The challenge is easy. Post a new or recent fit showing how YOU ROCK a chore coat. Entries must show a full-length shot (faces may be obscured or cropped) and be submitted by 3/20.

The prize: Bragging rights. The winner also accepts the honor of creating and administering the poll for the next challenge; or at least proactively finds someone else to do so. It’s a small price to pay for you being AWESOME!

If you’re new to chore coats and would like to know more, here are a couple articles on the subject …

You always kill it dude. On that second pic I thought u were shirtless and the black button was your belly button. I was honestly impressed by the bravado.

Since most of us have had to transition to self quarantine in the past week or two, I’ve decided to extend the challenge to Tuesday, March 31st.

GOOD LUCK!

Here's my ratty looking springtime backyard/container garden. Looks like I'm going to have the time to really work on it now.

Nice Sashiko!! Do you have a full length fit? If not, I suppose we could start bending the rules.
