Naked in Dixie
Guest Blog
When you've grown up in the snow and cold,
it's quite a switch to adapt to life in the bright sun and intense humidity of
the Deep South.
Southerners dress for style and comfort. If
you plan on visiting South of the Mason Dixon line, here are the Top Ten
Clothing Items to pack in your family's suitcases:
1. Little Girls - Smocked Dresses
2. Big and Little Girls - Hair bows to
match each outfit (the larger the better!)
3. Little Boys - John Johns (also often
smocked)
4. Bigger Boys - SEC Football Wear (Auburn,
Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, etc)
5. Young Ladies - Ensembles embroidered
with sorority letters
6. Young Men - Khaki slacks, golf shirt or
SEC Football wear
7. Men - Seersucker suit
8. Ladies - Linen outfit, tasteful
sundress, conservative cotton frock, wrap
9. Everyone - Hats, broad-brimmed, straw or
similar natural fiber
10. Everyone - Accessories (Hat, shoes,
clutch, jewelry)
Of
course, Mardi Gras and special holiday events call for gowns and tuxedos. Time
at the beach require cover-ups and bathing suits. How about any other favorite
Southern clothing traditions?

ReplyDeleteSandra -- Thank you so much for including Dancing Naked in Dixie on JeanzBookReadnReview! I hope that you'll have a chance to read Dixie ... and all about the setting (Eufaula, Alabama). It's a lovely part of the Southeastern United States...I used to live near there and visited the Pilgrimage every year :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're a part of Roxanne's Bewitching Book Tours, also! Doesn't she do a great job organizing everything?? :)
Looking forward to following your blog! All the best, Lauren
