When my man saw my outfit today he said I looked like an "urban zebra", sounds cool to me! I don't typically shop online but I made an exception last year when I saw these zigzag capri pants on sale for $10 at Old Navy. Throw in a free shipping promo and I'm sold! |
I spent some time before work this morning weeding my lawn (in a much more practical & therefore less fashionable outfit of sweats, a tank & sneakers). As a first time homeowner, I wasn't aware how much yard work would be required and how pesky dandelions are! I am told the hedges behind me are called bridal spirea and they are gorgeous at the moment as they are in full bloom. But again, another high maintenance task as they require trimming (which I can't seem to do straight so they end up looking like the zigzags in my pants!) I'm not a natural when it comes to gardening but I'm learning as I go and may even do some landscaping design this weekend!
Do you have a green thumb?
I don't have a green thumb at all. Unfortunately, since my brother-in-law owns the largest greenhouse/nursery/gardening store in the city, everyone expects I either have a green thumb or have the desire to have one. Nope! I have one plant and it's been alive for two years and that's the best I've ever done
ReplyDeleteI have those same pants. Got them on super sale, but haven't worn them much as I find it hard to figure out what to pair with them.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a green thumb at all. I do plan on planting some flower when I get my place in July. Loving your carpis.
ReplyDeleteI actually must admit I am horrible in the garden, but I did learn a few things from my sister and will try to have a go at it again. I looove those printed trousers! Happy weekend dear. /Madison xx
ReplyDeleteLove those pants! You better put a lock on your closet or they may disappear soon... The rest of the outfit is great, too. I like to garden; even without any talent, my plants seem to grow on their own.
ReplyDeleteI think I do pretty well in the garden, when I put some effort into it :) Love your outfit. The pants are adorable and I think the colors look amazing on you!

My parents are incredible gardeners (IMHO) but I am a newbie like you. We just did our annual run to get our patio plants for the summer and I was super happy when my mom suggested buying pre-prepared hanging plants and transferring the whole thing to a pot rather than getting them all individually. I lol'd at your comments about your hedges matching the zigzags in your pants. Here's to a summer of learning to create a garden oasis!
ReplyDeleteurban zebra-- I LOVE IT! Those pants are awesome-- you really know how to rock a bold print, Emily!
