"at mid century"... it was the "patio" dress...
"in the seventies"... the "maxi"...

i'm laughing...because for those of
you that are young at heart
enough to remember...

patio dresses (and kaftan styles)...
are a reminder of Mrs. Roper
on Three's Company!
and... laughing again...Mrs Roper wore
the Patio, while Chrissy and Jan
wore the Maxi! Mrs "R" wore hers
at home with a cocktail, and C & J
donned their duds at the Regal Beagle!
| ~ my personal fave at Anthropologie~ |
the "Patio & Maxi" have merged,
once again, as a look
for Summer 2011!

[i prefer "Patio" because i
have always been resentful
of where Madison Avenue took
the word "Maxi"!]

check out some more inspiration from
~the sixties in me~
with updated fabrics and prints,
the "Patio Dress" has jumped
two generations forward!
Anthropologie may a little pricey
for some, but the moderate world
is right in there.
Target has built a whole ad campaign
about Patio living!

after five...grab a glass of wine, a beer,
a tall lemonade or an icy root beer,
and hit the patio with style.
you will feel relaxed and
very groovy!
i'll meet you there!
{with a groovy kind of love}
