When thinking about a purchasing decision, such as for shirts, pants, or shoes, it is nice to have a set of contexts. I use four all together. One of my favorites and most used is The Maine Coast.
When choosing between items, I might ask, "Would it work on the Maine Coast?" For example, this tends to lead away from:
- Intense shades of pink and green;
- Florals, or bold patterns in general;
- High maintenance materials.
- Subdued colors such as navy, khaki, hunter green and white;
- Solids, stripes, tattersalls or tartans;
- Heartier items.

But surely you don't choose all your clothes based on the way they'd work on the Maine coast? What does one wear when to go to Boston, Manhattan, DC, or London? Worth discussing...
I absolutely love your blog! I posted a link on my blog to yours, so that other preps can read the great posts you have here! Have a great day!!
Hi Andrea,
Regarding contexts, as I wrote, "I use four all together." I will post all of mine in the weeks to come.
Thanks for visiting!
