That sounds like my every-day wardrobe choice since retiring from a public job. There's nothing like a pair of bib overalls for comfort and function when working, and they have the added benefit of a "vintage look" (especially after a couple months of really working in them).

While not today (I'm wearing a three-piece, gray suit for church today), this is my take on the "vintage Americana look".

VINTAGE last night: Worn to the USS Hornet in Alameda. Listened and danced to the Glenn Miller Orchestra! Did not have a vintage hairstyle, my sister French braided it, I added a jeweled flower

Vintage pieces:
1940s raspberry (photographing coral here) Rayon full length evening gown with old gold and dusty aqua beading at neck, earrings and matching necklace, ruched gloves, 1940s American Optical eyeglasses, slip, purse, stroller length fur coat
Modern pieces: favorite Miriam Haskel pearl cuff, nude Ballroom dance shoes

I love the fit a feel of a pair of bib overalls, you get some strange looks around these parts though, nobody wears bib overalls around here. I suppose I'm used to strange looks though, nobody wears western hats either 'cept for me, they'll get over itlol
Great pic BM, I've seen other pics of you, probably partly inspired me to try the look.

Ooo! The Chaps! I'm making it a point to go one year, the photos are always so fantastic. You look very dapper.

Thank-you! Plan to come next year, it really is tremendous fun. There's a fairly large FL contingent here in London, many of whom were in attendance yesterday; I'm sure we'd all love to show you around town. :)

Sunbody Sam Houston hat (4" brim). Looks better from a distance, but my arm doesn't reach very far. lol
You know, i was thinking that hat reminded me of a texan, very nice Geronimo :)

Stayed a few days in The City and had the opportunity to stroll through the San Francisco Botanical Garden.

I like this outfit a lot but the stick I have doesn't seem quite right for setting...


So I picked up these from the local kilt shop :)

A shooting (seat stick) and an ash crommach (a very traditional/vintage accessory for highland attire)

Cheers

It's cooled down to 25°C (77°F) here and I'll take my bike to go grocery shopping, so I'm wearing trousers:

(sorry for the bad picture)
