Garden Girl

Hello everyone!  It's been quite a long but also rewarding day.  I started the day by taking these outfit pics in the garden behind my house.  Growing up we grew flowers, carrots, peppers, pumpkins and so much more in this garden.  My Mom has quite the green thumb and had my brother and I pulling weeds (though begrudgingly) from a pretty young age.  Ah, good memories, I was a garden girl and I suppose I still am. :)


When my brother and I were in High School the garden just became too much work for my Mom and she let it grow over.  Though it's kind of sad, we still grow veggies and herbs in pots on our deck and have flower gardens elsewhere in our yard.  Besides, I love the wild, natural beauty of the garden like it is now. :)


I've only worn this outfit once before, layering my striped tank under this sweater out of a lack-of-clean-laundry dilemma.  I surprised myself by liking the outfit more than I initially thought.  The main thing I love about this outfit though is that the two main pieces (Jeans & Sweater) are thrifted and cost me almost nothing-- Yay! -^_^-

Sweater - Thrifted
Striped Tank - T.J. Max
Jeans - Thrifted
Kimchi Blue Wingtip Heel - U.O.
Necklace - Gift
Typewriter Key Bracelet - Flea Market
Steve Madden belt - Nordstrom

Thanks for reading folks, I hope you had a splendid Thursday!

    I love green, but find it so hard to wear so I like how you matched it up in this outfit. The shoes are darling! :)
