| Erm ... wearing my father's shirt and sunnies ... and thinkin' I look cool? |
"Hey baby, wanna fry a snag and rest it on me chest? While you're at it love, git me a beer, and lick that mustard off this button. It don't look too hot."
"But dear, that's coz I spread the mild one on ya."
Actually, I still like flannel, and if I owned a flannel shirt I'd probably wear it with a decent pair of jeans. Something kinda wholesome about it, isn't there?
As for blundstones, I prefer good old army boots to those now. Mind you, I don't have my army boots anymore either. Replaced them with boots that look like army boots but are so soft you might as well call them Hush Puppies.
I think I'm getting old ...
Do you still have any clothes from your past? Do you wear them?

Gina Blechman ~ (Review) This gal is a singer/songwriter/guitarist too, and she has a mighty fine voice, I might add!
"Welcome to my blog. Below you can find book reviews, writing tips, fun banter, writing related links, and excerpts from whatever manuscript I happen to be working on. Though the last theme for Kaleidoscope Thoughts was YA dystopian, in line with my last manuscript, Synesthisis, we have now switched to romance (of all types) in honor of my latest work in progress, a coming of (middle) age LGBT love story."
Jemi Fraser ~ (Music Review) Jemi signed up right at the last minute. Thank you!
"I am an aspiring writer of romantic mysteries and YA Steampunk. Variety is THE spice, after all."
Karen Amanda Hooper ~ (Review) I've known Karen for a while now, but seem to keep missing her posts! Starting to rectify that now, as I think she may have noticed ;o)

Kittie Howard ~ (Review) Oh Kittie, you did such a wonderful job with this review. Thank you SO much!
"I blog stories gained through life's experiences, some good, some not so good, but thankful for both and my life's rich tapestry. I blog for the sheer joy of writing, the pleasure at hearing the keyboard's tap, tap, tap as it slices through the years, but well aware that the past is prologue. I primarly blog about growing up on a farm in South Louisiana, stories anchored in a family that first came to Louisiana in 1679. All of my stories are free-standing. You can jump in any time!"
Laura M. Campbell ~ (Interview) In which we talk about lots and lots of personal stuff! And you'll see a pic of my dog when she was a puppy :o)
"I'm a writer of mysteryand the macabre with strong, yet flawed female protagonists. Here in the blogosphere, I connect with new and old writing buddies. It keeps me social and immersed in the writing world."

Being from Seattle, I can say that I think the flannel got popular because many of the musicians had lumberjacks for fathers, and they just borrowed their shirts.
ReplyDeleteSmell ya later.
Flannel is back...I see it on racks everywhere. I'd kept a dashiki from the '60's for decades, then, when my niece became a retro hippie, I gave it to her.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in your sunnies, which must be Aussie slang for sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteBut tell me, how does one fry a snag? Over here, one snags a fry.
Page 56!
Sweetie my past was a whole lot longer ago than yours was...but I can remember my navy pea jacket which I loved, clarks wallabees that I practically lived in and one pair of honey coloured leather braided strap sandals that were to die for.
ReplyDeletepage 150
Love the photo Jessica, here in the UK check blouses, shirts and coats are all the fashion so you look just great.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day.
Yvonne.
What do you mean "thinkin' I look cool"? You do look cool.

Gee! Are they really back in fashion? So it's back to the 60's and 70's.
ReplyDeleteWell, up north in Maine, USA, the home of loggers- where I use to live, everyone wears them!
I do have some older clothes and proud to say they all still fit. I'm from the Pacific Northwest, so yes, flannel shirts were always popular there.
ReplyDeleteWe just got back from Oregon and your package had arrived. Looking forward to listening to your CD.
Sorry, never liked flannel. And I have concert t-shirts that are older than you, Jessica!
ReplyDeletePlaid flannel hides dirt really well.
ReplyDeleteAnd we wore Doc Martens up here in the wintry north. Chic.
I still dig flannel...although I don't own any. Hmmm. Maybe I will have to get a new shirt. :-) I so love these old pics of you! Last year I bought a pair of leg warmers for my Halloween costume...and I have been very tempted to wear them a couple of times. Have a great day Jessica!
ReplyDeleteAw, it was the whole Nirvana thing! I think you look pretty darn adorable.
ReplyDeleteI just bought your eBook and hit the LIKE button on top (I hear it helps with the ranking.) Lots of luck, Roland
ReplyDeleteLove it! Yes, I had plenty of flannel shirts and rocked the black boots during my junior and senior year of high school.
ReplyDeleteOverhauls were another strange fashion trend here. You won't catch me wearing those though!
Exited for the Chart Rush tomorrow!!!
I like flannel; its soft and feels good against the skin. I never think of eating when I see it on a person. Well - if the guy is eye candy . .
ReplyDeleteSomething about flannel reminds me of lazy days on a sofa, kids and favorite man all sprawled together in a cozy mess. I think of chilly, rainy days and just hangng out together. my favorite food on a flannel day is a hearty stew - one of the few dishes I cook extremely well.
I think I could listen to Nirvana during my day with the family and stew :) "Come, as you are . ."
