Nothing fancy going on today - heading out to pick up cat food and then working in the garden. It has finally stopped raining so I can cut the grass!
This entire outfit is thrifted - hacked off BF Denver Hayes jeans, white Joe Fresh tee, Christian Sirano cognac sandals and vintage men's tribal leather belt. Sunnies are Ray Ban Wayfarers - obviously NOT thrifted.
Have a fab Saturday my gorgeous buds :)

Love your sandals! And the shorts are a perfect flattering length on you.
I want to have a picnic in your garden :). Beautiful!

Gorgeous, Shannon! I love this simple, clean outfit. Perfect proportions, as ever. You look terrific and so does your lush garden.

I love it! And I have serious garden envy right now... I have the window open to let some of the outside in, but that just can't compare.

Best gardening outfit ever! What is that beautiful blooming plant behind you?
Great summer outfit to be out and about!

It's noon. I'm getting dressed in a moment. No, I've not been lounging. I've been deep cleaning the kitchen -- scrubbing walls, cleaning the dog food dishes and containers, washing the light fixtures.
You're giving me inspiration! Isn't it fortunate I waited to get dressed?
P.S. A great, fluid white tee is my HEWI! Love yours!

Back in from the heat - Ooooh it's a hot one today!
Glad y'all like my casual outfit. This is the kind of thing I live in on summer weekends.
Joy - the gorgeous white flowering shrub is a Mockorange tree. It blooms for several weeks in early-mid summer and the smell is positively delicious. We planted it about 15 years ago and I'm so glad we did.
Thank you for the lovely comments about my garden. I do love to play in the dirt - after all, I am a farmer's daughter. It is the one thing I know I will miss with condo living but life is full of trade offs isn't it?
Just for fun I snapped a few pics of my yard of you care to have a peek. The last two are of a new perennial garden we put in this spring so it doesn't look like much yet. And the cobalt blue seating is a bench my FIL built about 50 years ago and when he passed away and the house was sold, it was the one thing my DS asked if we could have because of the memories he has of sitting on grandpa's knee on that bench.
Ok...sorry bout that. That's enough about me and my garden...

You look great and so does your garden. I love all of the outdoor "rooms".
You look fab in your cat food errand and gardening outfit. Sooo stylish!
Nice to get a sneek peek at your garden too. It looks lovely.

Great casual summer outfit! The shirt drapes beautifully on you, and you rock the faux tuck.
Your garden is lovely and inviting. Is that a wildflower garden right next to the brick walk?

Great garden. The bench is a special piece. Never let it go.
Transcona Shannon replied 9 years ago
Windchime - good eye! That is a small wildflower garden. I enjoy having different types of gardens for different spaces within our yard.
Nebraskim - sadly the bench is rotting and I suspect this will be its last summer. It has served us all well for a long time.

YLF, but my word - your garden! Neel is right - let's all have picnic there! I'll bring my chickpea and avocado salad.

The outfit looks perfect for this weekend. I think it was finally summer. White always looks so fresh but in summer t's it is perfection.
It was darn hot and humid this weekend. I was out planting and had sweat dripping off the tip of my nose as I dug holes in the wet clay. Good exercise. I was thinking to buy a mockorange shrub for the back yard. Yours is stunning but I am glad I went with lilacs instead because although it would have been lovely, it would have been too big for the space.

The perfect casual outfit, a simple t, shorts that flatter, and fun sandals. And a lovely yard too!

Is there something like gardening chic, or so? You'll get awarded for this one, for sure! Your garden seems to be a great plave for winding down, love the welcoming inscription on that stone-and the blue chairs:-))
I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
