They reacted as if I was wearing this:

Anyway, so lesson learned.
What you see in magazines about country life does not translate to real life. In Mississippi. And you'd think this would be obvious but life in LA or NY really does look like editorials.
But I haven't given up completely. There are plenty of other rural photos I can try and recreate.
Like basically everything from Vogue's 2008 Fashion Rocks issue staring Dhani Harrison and Sasha Pivovarova.
I'm almost positive my Mississippi Husband would wear a flower crown while playing chess in the woods. Just as long we weren't in his father's camp (if you're Southern or a hunter you might know what this means).
