What Should I Wear?

It's not very easy to commit a Glamour Don't in the North Woods, but there is one sure way to get on the Worst Dressed List. A clerk at Snow's Family Market told me that she arrived for her first day of work wearing a purple polo shirt and was met with suspicion. If you live outside of Wisconsin, this might not seem like any big deal, but here the color purple is synonomous with the Minnesota Vikings. You don't see very much purple in the typical North Woods wardrobe, and NEVER during football season.

You can wear any crazy, tacky, torn piece of fabric that has a Packer logo on it and you will be welcomed anywhere. If you are a  little more discriminating, Pete, the dogs, Mr. French and I have come up with some suggestions.

Head gear is important, but so is neck wear.

Maddie Jo likes to make a statement when she goes out. She is modeling a Packer scarf and Packer dog leash in the photo above. To the right, Maddie shows off her shopping bag. "Paper or Plastic?" "No, I prefer the Packers."

Men's wear modeled by Pete. Pete has everything covered with Packer hat, T-shirt, pajama bottoms and handmade socks.

at the Mercer Holiday Craft Show

 Trig's, a grocery store down in Minocqua, was selling a Super Bowl XLV T-shirt inside a mug. One of us will probably be wearing that tomorrow - the shirt, not the mug.

I have a really nice personalized Packer Jersey; it was a Christmas present from Pete. It is one of the items available from the NFL Women's Apparel -Fit for You line.  That's what I'll be wearing.

If you really want to see a wide variety of Packer gear, go to Packerland-Plus in Minocqua. I don't think they have a website, but they have stores in Park Falls and Wausau as well.  I stopped by their Minocqua shop on 4th Avenue last week and found myself in a real Packer House of Fashion.

Don't forget to dress up your house and yard for the Super Bowl. The birds and squirrels will love it.

  

Remember when planning your wardrobe,

GO GREEN!

This is one time when black is not fashionable.
