"I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures.
I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one.
When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…"
~Tasha Tudor
PS: National Fairy Day is celebrated today, and I have prepared a post with a little cute video for you! Click on DREAMLAND, and enjoy!Oh, and don't forget to spread your wings and fly!Is allowed today!
I SOOOOOOO agree, sugar! I love being a girl/woman. There are no other creatures like us on this earth and we are very special to God! Only we can give birth, chick, and that's truly a blessing. xoxo, Connie
You know, I am a huge classic movie addict. If it's from the 30's to the 50's, I'm gonna love it. And as I watch those movies, I am always struck at how beautifully dressed the women were (not so much the early 30's). When I see the gorgeous Grace Kelly in her beautiful dresses, I wonder why women threw that kind of wardrobe out the window? I would FAR prefer to dress like she did than to wear the ripped jeans or sweatpants, T-shirts, and sneakers that women so often wear today.
Have a blessed day, Patti (Fill My Cup with Beauty)
I have adored Tasha for many years and am lucky enough to have two books featuring her garden and her crafts. I take them out to look through when life seems to be rushing along a little too fast for me. She is still such an inspiration and her wisdom lives on... Tina xo
Love your beautiful blog! I like the new header! I have two of Tasha's books and just love them. Someone wanted to know if she is still alive-- I believe she is, but she is in poor health last I heard.
Oh I just knew you would remember Fairy day today!! I have some of my favorite images of them on my bloggie today...you might enjoy seeing all the different fairies. Oh Tasha had her world in purrrfect order. I adored her way of life because it reminded me so much of the way my OMA in Germany lived. Believe in enchantment...love Miss Peach
Dear Cielo, muy entretenido verte con faldas y lindas sandalias, muy femenino!! En los veranos siempre uso vestidos, me encantan!!! cariños, maria cecilia
Hi Cielo... I have Tasha Tudors book on my nightstand right now, and I was just pondering that quote the other night!! I always love to see you and your lovely dresses in your photos... I too am a DRESS GIRL! Bella
Definitely a true quote, and Tasha said it right although I do like my capris! I do like wearing skirts and flowing dresses more in the summer as to me it feels cooler. Hope you have a great weekend! Ulrike
CIELO WHAT A WONERFUL POST FEMENINITY,I TO LOVE LONG SKIRTS I HAVE ALL MY SISTER MAKE FUN OF ME ,THEY CALL ME OLD LADY I WAS ONLY 14 YEARS OLD,TILL NOW DAYS I LOVE THEM ,YOUR SHOES ADORABLE,THE COLORS OF THE SKIRTS THAT YOU WERE FLOWING DRESSES AND YOUR LONG HAIR TO IS A BEAUTY.THASA WAS SO RIGTH,SHE WERE HERE DRESESS TILL THE LAST DAY WWHAT A WONDERFULL CREATURE SHE WAS..I NEVER GOT TO HAVE TEA WITH HER..BLESSINGS
I love your shoes! I think women who wear fancy shoes are so womanish!! Sometimes I want to be one. But I am just a flower child at heart. Sandals for me, or barefeet. So I will enjoy you in your grown up shoes!
I am so with you. I love men.. love watching them, thier hands, the abilities to do almost anything.. more then that I love being a woman. Wearing girly jewels, smelling like a princess, and strutting like I am on a catwalk ~ yep, I most definetly love being a woman.
I love being a woman, feminine ... in both slacks & dresses ... I like at my AGE (?) to still be thought 20 years younger than I am & still turn a head ... I am a girly-girl woman, you betcha!
I apologize for being absent ... I am having a terrible time staying in the groove, sweet friend.
What an interesting post. I came here through one of your readers - Virginia - that submitted a table on the post above. Then I saw the photos of the fishnets and long skirt and I was intrigued. Loved this. I seldom write about clothes but this was inspiring. The photos are beautiful, the music fitting, and the quote completed the post. Nicely done. I agree with Tasha. I wouldn't want to wear a long skirt all of the time but it is fun to pull one on once in awhile and revel in the femininity of it. I love being a girly girl and I sometimes feel like I am in a club of one. Thanks for sharing Pam
I absolutely adored Tasha Tudor! She personified feminnity even when doing chores on her farm.
ReplyDeleteBless her......

The quote by Tasha is so true. I love wearing my skirts and dressing up to go out. Mine don't see duty in the garden though. :-)
