A Little Bit Country

Maybe it's because I live in the country, or maybe it's because I practically grew up on my best friend's family farm, I'm not sure.  What I do know is that I've never felt such a strong connection to a fashion style as I do to the country trend that is everywhere right now.  I love everything about it, right from the prairie dresses, the riding pants, the oversized comfy knits, all the way down to the cowboy boots and wellies.  When I was a girl, I loved the Little House on the Praire book series, and wished I was born back then so I could do and wear all the things that they did.  My friend (the one with the farm) and I would dress up in big oversized long skirts with rubber boots and spend countless hours playing in the fields.  I guess seeing this trend come in vogue again makes me remember those fond memories and feel those same feelings welling up in side me...and I love it.  This will definately be a go-to look for me this fall, and even into the spring, as I've been noticing a continuing trend in the Spring/Summer '10 collections.  And I couldn't be happier because wearing these things will make me feel like I'm "home."  Here are a few of my favourite pieces:
