Pseudo dog loves the sugar and fat.</p> <p>Shevia, I'm considering fake tatoos. Lol.</p> <p>Thanks, Sarah! If you're going to shlep, try not to shlump, yes? Hee hee. I can at least be deliberate.</p> <p>On a whim, I'm now trying to bake bread. I've never baked just <i>one </i>loaf of bread before. Wish me luck folks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029817 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:34:26 +0000 Angie 1029817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to eat those donuts you are inventing. And I'll share them with the pseudo herd dog in the green machine. I'll bring the tea.</p> <p>You are too adorable in #1, #2 and #3, Ms. Quirky Country Punk. #4 and #5 are a true testament to Queen Quirky herself. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029813 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:29:53 +0000 Sarah A 1029813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Great incarnations for fall. Adore 1, 2 and 5!

You transcend them all even without a tatoo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029767 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 00:42:46 +0000 rachylou 1029767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt, I am so proud of myself, I can't tell you. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029765 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 00:40:51 +0000 cobaltblue 1029765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these Rachy, and love your description, too. Glad you deftly avoided the fishwife look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029764 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 00:39:13 +0000 rachylou 1029764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, Janet. Lol. That song is everything '80s. Immortal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029763 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 00:34:33 +0000 rachylou 1029763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's brilliant, Mander. I shall have to mediate on Johnny Rotten. </p> <p>Suz, Adelfa, Ingunn - I feel Country Punk could have potential. You know when you look, punk clothing is pretty schleppy. It's mostly just worn with flare. The denizens of Dial House apparently shuffle around outside in their house slippers and fleece, but I tell you, they do it with style.</p> <p>I guess the "Country" part in all this, is that they've done away with the more over-wrought aspects of punk style. I suspect it wasn't doing anything for the chickens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029758 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 00:26:24 +0000 Janet 1029758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, now you got this song in my head -- it's an obscure one from the 80s... :-D</p> <p><a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_drtSa3KP6o&#038;desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_drtSa3KP6o" rel="nofollow">http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_.....drtSa3KP6o</a></p> <p>I like this direction for you. You have the most fun style descriptions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029721 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:25:16 +0000 Suz 1029721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific. I <b>LOVE</b> #2 and #3, especially, but each and every one of these is "you."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029720 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:21:28 +0000 Mander 1029720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I've been pondering this sort of combination lately, too.&nbsp; Except I've been thinking of the sort of tweed and safety pins combination sported by John Lydon: <a href="http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7qa62H6F91qzezj5o1_500.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://31.media.tumblr.com/tum.....o1_500.jpg</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029703 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:05:35 +0000 Adelfa 1029703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I'm getting the Country Punk concept yet, but I want to dress like you. I love #2 and #3, and you look great in tank tops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029624 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 21:40:42 +0000 Ingunn 1029624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 on you! Country punk is a great moniker. You should definitely explore that further. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029577 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:54:27 +0000 rachylou 1029577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>p.s. I'm really proud of myself. Passed by a shop and almost went in. In the window, they had this outfit... Navy Hunters, light grey jeans, a "robe" jacket also in a lighter, but textured, grey. It was so cute. </p> <p>BUT, while it was kinda "country", it was not "rocker"... plus my short-waisted self would have just looked like a fishwife. I'm proud of myself for having stopped and thought before rushing in because it was otherwise really natty.</p> <p>Ok. That's my novel for the day. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/country-punk#post-1029573 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:50:22 +0000 rachylou 1029573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've decided this Fall's manifestation of Quirky Waif is Country Punk. Hahaha!</p> <p>But ok, so I've been enjoying rocker-ish touches here and there, with the build up of this trend. However, since I'm not going into the city now, it's started to feel a little too slick. When not at the bakery, well, I've been tooting around in my banged up green station wagon with my faux herding dog and picking lemons and making marmalade and working on a donut recipe with a -- healthy people look away -- $20 deep fryer from Wal-mart with no temperature controls (I've just got to do it the hard way). </p> <p>This is not stuff to be done in boots and blouses. I've been living in and loving tan knock-off Crocs from the drugstore, and slipped back into hipster-on-the-prairie A-line skirts, and added very thin, sleeveless tees &amp; tanks. (I used to hate tees, but they're very useful.)</p> <p><i>So anyways</i>, then I pick up this magazine. The sort of over-designed, purposefully unglossy kind that you can use to mulch your garden without poisoning yourself. I picked it up because I saw it had a pic of Penny Rimbaud, Punk dawner (ie figure from the dawn of Punk). Anyways, it turned out (I should have guessed) the piece was about Dial House (Rimbaud's English kibbutz), and I confess to being completely distracted away from Penny for a moment by an article on building a hut out of woodland debris. </p> <p>But back to Penny, I *realised* the only answer to all this style-wise is to spend the Fall in Country Punk. It's fortunate that Penny doesn't know: he'd wish he'd overdosed and could turn in his grave in protest. </p> <p>Pics:<br />#1: Dark Hipster (rocker influenced) (did I post this already?).<br />#2: Faux leather leggings and NAS best-buy green sweater and lower-heeled booties for walking (most rockerish outfit yet).<br />#3: Poor little higher-end dress taken down by hipster stying (hipbag). Odd-one-out.<br />#4: A-line skirt and muscle tee thingy. Worn to bakery (which is broiling in our late summer heat).<br />#5: Artisan baker style, tank top and denim kneepants. Haha. If only I had a tat, I'd be a real artisan baker. </p>
