If I had seen this commercial a few years ago, I'm sure I'd have thought it was clever, but probably nothing more. Now, it speaks to me. If it's on, I always stop to watch it. I love the glamour, the feel of decades past, men opening car doors for women, and the clear message that we're in a society that doesn't value the simple life. "We didn't race from A to B, we cruised."
I might be all girl, but I don't DO NOT like to wear dresses. Maybe it's due to years as a pageant kid and wearing dresses that required can-cans? Who knows. I've longer preferred a cute pair of jeans over any other attire. Sadly, I've become a person that wears jeans to church. I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing jeans to church. Heck, come in your sweats if that gets you there. But, for me, jeans in church isn't the attitude or style I wish to portray. Church is something I feel you should dress for. It's a special part of my week, and my attire should reflect that.
This morning...I wore a dress. I chose to arrive in style. Granted, it was $8.99 Ross style; but style, none the less.
I highly doubt my great-grandma Parker ever wore jeans to church, so this still fits my goal of leading a homesteader lifestyle. My self imposed 'no "new" clothes' rule/budget might make this difficult, but I've never been one to shy away from a challenge. My Mom got a dress at Salvation Army yesterday for a few dollars that would've been at least $40 at JCPenney. "New" means brand new, not new to me.
