This blog is a testament to my passion for two things that might seem incongruous but are actually completely in sync: the
Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener Association's Common Ground Country Fair, and street style.

Cool couple with coffee


Or it might be chai. I always like the look of a very lightweight, summery dress with hard-rockin', knee-high boots to ground the outfit. What are her boots? They might be rubber waders. And here I really like the white knee-highs, too. I'm a big fan of high socks. When I stopped to take her picture, her companion graciously moved out of the way, but I said I wanted him in the shot, too! So glad that suspenders are making a comeback.

Also, can I pause here to say that one reason I'm doing this blog is to celebrate actual folks who live in the country and wear work pants and overalls and rubber boots and such because their work and lives demand them, rather than to follow a trend or co-opt someone else's style? I've heard that a lot of folks in, say, Brooklyn, NY are now dressing as if they, too, are organic farmers in Maine...and I'm not really into that.
