Mama and I visited a strawberry farm yesterday and I put together this vintage-inspired kolkhoznitsa get-up to do some picking. By the way, a kolkhoznitsa was a female farm worker in the USSR. I had this cotton maxi dress for over a decade and only wore it once before when I played Ophelia in my first year of theatre school – I was one dramatic Ophelia. The design of the dress had always seemed so dated and costume-like to me that I couldn’t imagine wearing it for any “off-stage” occasion. But it is now over half-a-year into my blog and I have myself a strawberry picking outfit; it’s funny how much blogging expands your imaginative horizons.
* Only 5 days left to make your submission for the Dolce&Gabbana dress giveaway.
What I’m wearing:
- Cotton maxi dress from “Club Monaco”
- Silk scarf
- Large leaf earring (bought in Montreal)
- Vintage leather boots (last seen in Apr. 9’10)
- Cotton embroidered vintage apron (a gift from my dearest grandmother, Lusya)
WOW! The colours, the backdrop, you – stunning!!!
Your blogs is one of my favourites – you are always so glamorous – even when picking strawberries!

Oh thanks so much sweetie. I just wanted to have so extra fun doing it – kinda pretending to be a different character for the day. I'm not sure why, but I think there is a lot of glamor hidden in farming.
I love you in yellow!
Very imaginative outfit! You're an inspiration, Lida!
Thank you
.
The mix of colors is great!
Thank you Vane!
That is a cute farmers girl outfit! Every farmer would like it that way. Love the second picture the most! Very very pretty outfit and great picture
Lol, well it definitely offers an alternative to those daisies dukes for farmer girls. Thank you so much Blackcowboy.
THis again, is amazingly beautiful. I love the earing! All your pictures can be put in a art gallery.
Oh, that's such a nice thing to hear. Thank you so much dear Sahara. Glad you like them.
This photoshoot is awesome, I never thought someone could be dressed up and yet not overdressed to go strawberry picking! Gorgeous!
Thanks dear Robin, and it was so much more fun like that too. The only thing was that my mom did most of the picking and I did the eating
. It was more of a “strawberry eating outfit.”
really love the earrings!
Thank you dear Rebecca. The designer from montreal is pretty creative with those leafs. I have some other earrings from him but with rose petals. Pretty different.
Waooo, Very nice pictures, You look great. Have a beautiful day.
Thanks Rafael.
Love Lida
Ha, I played Ophelia, too! In a school production!
