mrs. green jeans – giveaway!
i have a brand new giveaway this week, and this one’s just in time for spring. you can enter to win this is an adorable line of gardening wear from angela’s garden, including a tote bag, sun hat, gardening gloves and waist apron in their sunny poppy pattern.
this cute pattern was created from a vintage 70′s print, designer kara buttimer found and had made into this fun fabric for angela’s garden. to enter, simply comment below by tuesday, march 9th (and, be sure to include a way to contact you) and share with us what you normally wear to garden. my bet it is it may not be half as cute as this great gardening line from angela’s garden.
Oh god! I must have this patterned brown apron and hat….I only hope a garden came together with them!…will still wear them when gardening at the tiny veranda…spring and this pair of stylish beauties is such a good opportunity to work on having new plants there : )
So adorable! I usually wear whatever I happen to have on… definitely not as cute.
i don’t wear an apron but i do wear a pair of amazingly strong gloves (for tough, sometimes trashy soil and briars) and a sun hat — but you’re right, not half as cute as angela’s garden…
If only I looked so cute in my gardening gear! Usually I end up in torn jeans, my favorite grubby shoes, and an old t-shirt! :)
love the print! I like to wear something with a print when I garden. then the dirt is less noticeable. …or so I’ve convinced myself. :)
How cute!!!! Um, can I just confess that I am NOT a good gardener? My thumbs are not green. Perhaps the correct attire could remedy this? ;)
I love to garden and everything I own is dirt-stained so either I win the beautiful apron or continue to embarrass myself wherever I go.
Lovely….lovely. I can feel the sunshine already!! I love gardening and I am so excited about this giveaway.
How adorable! This would be perfect for my mom- gardening is her favorite thing to do.
Me lovey. This could certainly turn my black thumb green.
So cute! I wear my grubby work pants and an old shirt, but I don’t even own gloves… I don’t have a ton of space in my NYC yard, but feel so lucky for the space I have!
I’ve never looked so good in the garden, but I’d like to.
Emmm, been so overwhelmed by the beauty of the designs I forgot to share what I usually wear when gardening. Definetely nothing so special. Lately I’ ve been wearing the same, simple, grey apron I sometimes cook in and a pair of flowered gloves, useally found at a cheap store…I do need new ones though for this Spring!
I usually tend to our wild tropical garden in flip flops and a sun dress! These goodies would be a lot more fun! Merci for such a lovely giveaway.
i used to just wear whatever gloves i could find in our garage. but this is all beautiful!
i usually wear gardening gloves, sunblock, old jeans, a pair of old pumas and a tee with paint on it. not cute at all! these prints are so cheerful… <3 it!
Oh, are you kidding? Cute doesn’t factor. Though I wish it did!
Depending on the weather, I can be seen wearing a tank top and scrubs or yoga pants. I need to be comfy! I often have on my trusty Red Sox cap if it’s sunny. And for shoes? Slip ons or my coral Privos!
I live in a little apartment now, but I really like stuff from Sunday Afternoons. I love this pattern, though! I think if I won it it would warrant gardening in our community plot :)
So cute! I normally wear yoga pants and a tank top. Often I am barefoot and bare handed. If it’s incredibly sunny I will don a painted trucker hat! Cute? Maybe not so much.
You are absolutely right; I don’t wear anything nearly this cute to garden in. My kids make fun of my irrigation boots.
I am really trying to spend more time in the garden this year and this inspires me. I would love to have cute stuff to wear while I am making things grow.
ooh, this is so cute. I usually end up gardening in my PJ’s. I go outside to drink coffee, see something that needs weeding or watering and end up out there all morning!
Oh how fun! I can’t wait to get started on gardening this year. Spring is on it’s way!!! I have a great pair of blue flower pants that I bought on PEI, Canada that I can’t give up, so they have become my gardening pants because they are not fit for wearing otherwise. I sure do like the looks of that apron…. :)
true, it’s not even half as adorable as these items! i usually wear old grubby jeans, an over sized t-shirt and a bandanna in my hair. these would be amazing- they’re so beautiful!
ah this is soo cute!! what i usually wear gardening-my work out clothes. a t shirt and old shorts. well, when i get back from the gym, i’m already dirty. might as well weed the garden! baha.
When I garden, I usually wear old jeans, a colorful t-shirt (to detract attention from the old jeans), and a big floppy hat my dearest friend made for me. But these adorable item’s from Angela’s Garden are too beautiful for words. I feel more inspired to garden already!
i wear old jeans and an old tshirt… this stuff is super cute!
sunscreen!
My mum loves to garden and usually wears white men’s shirts and a large hat to keep the sun at bay.
I usually wear workout clothes–like shorts and a t-shirt…not cute at all!
These are so adorable. I usually end up in an old t-shirt and ratty shorts. This is much more fashionable!
I am going to be designing…with help and keeping up with a new house that includes a roof top garden. This super fun and fashionable kit would just do the trick!
gardening is one of those small things in life that I love getting gussied up for, on a small personal level. I always wear a good old fashioned pair of black muckers and whatever looks startling cute with those, be it a skirt or plaid shorts or whathaveyou.
I usually wear my worst sweat pants, torn jeans or paint splattered shorts. Generally a college shirt or tank top.
I would love to have the gear from Angela’s Garden.
What a lovely giveaway! I just moved into a house a few years back and I wear my oldest, most raddegy clothes while gardening! Would love to have something cute to wear!
living in an apartment with ABSOLUTELY NO yard/porch/balcony, we rigged up some shelves jam packed with terra cotta pots in our huge front room window. so since my garden is inside, i’m usually in my pj’s. but this so-cute getup will make a wonderful gift. great giveaway!
I never wear anything cute – usually just an old men’s button-up and my used-to-be-favorite jeans that now have holes in them. That’s the same outfit I paint in too!
Absolutely adorable! I have been searching everywhere for a patterned wide-brimmed hat! Great giveaway. I am a new gardener and need some gear to match my budding garden!
Well, I certainly don’t look this stylish when I garden (but I would love to!). I generally wear old tshirts that my husband picked up at tech conferences and torn jeans (complete with paint splatteres). This would be a HUGE upgrade :)
i too just wear active wear to garden, but i love the idea of dressing cute!
love this giveaway! thanks!
Wow, I only wish I could look so good gardening. Unfortunately, I’m usually out there with old ratty jeans, barefoot (I know, I know) and a big old white long sleeve shirt of my husbands, to avoid a sunburn. Gorgeous gardening duds!
It’s usually summer when I’m out gardening, and I’m reveling in the sun. A floppy hat, t-shirt and knee length cotton skirt with a pair of my oldest clogs is how you’ll find me tending the veggie garden. I’m could use a new hat and an apron to keep compost of the skirt.
-Thanks for the chance at this great giveaway!
Oh those are goo cute – I never look like that. Usually I’m in my oldest jeans with holes and an old tshirt that I don’t mind getting covered in dirt – but hey I’d love to wear those clothes!
I really like the tote and apron. When out in the garden I where clogs, and old jeans and tshirts, anything I do not mind getting dirty.
i don’t know if this give away is open for people living abroad, but i couldn’t resist anyway because i absolutely adore the apron and the hat and… all of it. i’m somewhat ashamed to share what i’m wearing while gardening though. since i always take care of that kind of thing in early the morning, i wear pj’s or night gown, sun hat and crocs *blushing*.
I usually wear old jean cut-offs and a tank when gardening. Not cute at all. I should wear a hat though since it’s usually sunny here in Arizona.
I usually garden in my painting clothes. I figure… what’s a new dirt stain on a sea of paint stains.
I usually wear a hat and gloves, being so cold sometimes also in the summer.
Wow if I was able to win this, my mother wouldn’t be coming home covered in the stench of fertliser and mud no more.
I wear my hiking hat and whatever old clothes I have that match the season. These cute gardening clothes would make my gardening activities even more enjoyable!
I usually garden in old cast-offs! these are great!!
I ususally just rock an old t-shirt and shorts. But I would love to be that lady that really rocks when she gardens!
I belong to a community garden and schlepp my stuff in the most unattractive bags. These cute items would make it all the prettier! Plus, could use those gloves! Thanks for sharing this with us.
I garden in jeans and t-shirts in winter and cotton skirts and tank tops in summer. I like to be comfortable but not embarrassingly so. Gloves and a hat are required…an apron sounds like a great idea…one I would love to try out.
Maybe this would encourage me to actually take care of my garden on occasion. I normally garden in whatever I happen to be wearing, and often in mismatched gloves. (I can never find both in one pattern when I do decide to tackle the weeding!)
I usually wear old sweats and a t-shirt since I know I’m going to get dirty :(
i love this totebag and apron!
I like to wear my bathing suit top while I work in the garden to get tan while I plant! Also sunglasses and a baseball cap are a necessary :)
Super cute apron! ahhh!
-Caitlin
Many times I’ll head straight to the backyard after work…which is trouble because then I start gardening in my work clothes.
my gardening attire? sweatshirt (unless its super hot, then a tank top) and a trucker hat. put on backwards. haha
lovely giveaway!
garden gear for me: sun-dress, jeans and bear-foot
I absolutely love these! I usually just wear one of my husband’s shirts and old jeans, but since I’ll be taking care of the garden by myself this year maybe I’ll invest in something for myself.
these are so adorable!
I usually have my pruners in the back pocket of my old khakis and that has led to some incidents of an unpleasant variety. I just never learn! I wear flip-flops unless it is too cold or I am using larger tools that might chop my toes off, then it’s some nice solid boots. but just til i’m done. my boyfriend’s old undershirt in summer, a cardigan in the fall. a pair from my fine assortment of raggedy old gloves.
Usually to garden I wear something old, something tatterd and something usually blue… I just like blue… one glove…for the thorns… one hand free for the dirt diggin’… clogs.. birky crocks…and whatever hat is handy. I really could use some style!
I usually wear whatever I have on which often results in terribly dirty clothes!! I also don’t have a hat so I have been hunting for one as I make my daughter wear one all the time!! I should learn from that!!
when gardening I would wear jeans and work gloves.. nothing as cute as these.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this.
What a lovely set. My current gardening attire consists of torn jeans and tank tops- much less glamorous!
I have a pair of Denman gardening pants which I am wearing out because they don’t make these pants anymore. When I bought them they were already discontinued, so I had to get a size too big. They hang down too low on me and I have ripped the crotch out twice and have repaired it. What is so great about them? They have knee pockets that hold the same kind of pads used by football players. So very comfortable and convenient to kneel on.
this summer I will be breaking out the overalls and old straw hat to try and plant our first ever vegetable garden… just trying to figure out a way to make it dog-proof! bet my neighbors would appreciate me wearing that adorable apron, though :)
I wear T-shirt, shorts and a big hat…I know what you are thinking…I need the apron, bad…Thanks for the giveaway!

Cute stuff! I usually throw on the overalls I stole from my sister when she moved away. She was going to get rid of them because they had some holes but they are PERFECT for gardening! I also have a large, floppy hat to keep the sun off my face and neck (my nose burns so easily!). If it’s muddy, I’ll throw on my galoshes; otherwise, I have a great pair of Keen sandals.
Jeans & a tank. Flip flops, no gloves. My husband’s heavy boots when I need to dig. I’m a real mess april through september, dirty fingernails and all. My smaller garden tools are stored in a plastic behind the door shoe rack in my husband’s shed. Functional, but not attractive. :)
I garden in an old straw hat and gardening gloves that I bought at Costco. I wear pretty much whatever I have on for the day even sometimes what I have worn to work, so a gardening apron would be wonderful! These are all such pretty items!
Oh, I love this so much that I would buy it if I didn’t win. I wear whatever is available. With kids, I’m usually in such a hurry that I pull on any old thing including sometimes just my nightgown, but if I had such pretty clothes, I’d wear them. :) ~~Dee
Love the items! wow. I’m usually in flip flops with gardening gloves that have seen better days! Love the hat- adorable! Thanks for posting!
that is way more stylish than I normally look in my carhartt pants, down vest and sunhat from a Kyoto flea market.
Um, nowhere NEAR as cute! I’m in old jeans, a baggy t-shirt, and an old Notre Dame baseball cap (I didn’t even go to Notre Dame…). These are adorable!
Usually, I’m in old t-shirts and sweatpants. But how chic would I be in this ensemble?
I usually don’t plan to garden, but start by just pulling a few weeds, and then a few more… and then I’ve gotten dirt on my good clothes… Maybe a cute gardening ensemble will inspire a little planning!
i have a favourite wrecked old pair of jeans that fit perfectly but had their public life cut short by a run-in with wet paint, so i bust those out for garden time.
I just got a plot in the community garden (after waiting for five years!) and I usually wear my workout gear, as I usually head to the gym right after puttering around in the garden.
Why a white skirt, of course! (as seen here last spring: http://thaitrait.blogspot.com/2009/05/radleys-in-garden-with-white-skirts-and.html)
I wear my workout clothes gardening- not cute at all!
I love that apron! Matches my kitchen! I usually wear jeans and flip flops when I garden. This set is a definite upgrade.
The pattern and the material are awesome. I like the products.
beautiful – these would totally inspire me to get out in the garden again!
So lovely! I would love to win that!
so cute! i love to garden, but i don’t exactly have a “green thumb”… i killed a cactus once. who does that?! maybe with sweet new gardening threads to rock, my skills would improve. clearly the jeans and t-shirts aren’t cutting it!
Since this year will be my first gardening experience, I hope to wear the lovely goodies featured! If I’m not so lucky, My babies and I will probably wear some thrifted overalls and a sunhats!
How cute! I usually wear whatever “weekend” clothes I happen to have on, but I’m always sure to wear my lady bug gardening clogs — gardening is much more fun with cute, appropriate shoes!
I usually wear dirty gloves caked with mud, jeans,a shirt I also use to paint in and a sun hat (not nearly as nice as the one shown here!)
I’m drooling over the sunny poppy collection! So cute! I typically don’t doll myself up for gardening, but with this set I would. The sun hat and apron would come in particularly handy.
These gardening clothes are so adorable! I wear my rattiest jeans and t-shirt while working outside or in the garden. This darling apron, hat and gloves would be a serious upgrade!
my rubber clogs, shorts with Leatherman pocket knife clipped on pocket,t-shirt, ratty straw hat,and sunscreen.
would love to look cute in our garden for my uber-green thumbed husband.
I just moved from a dumpy fifth floor walk-up apartment in manhattan to a house (foreclosure) in California. I have nothing to wear or use for gardening, but if I had something this cute, I would get started immediately! For now, I’d just wear an apron, I guess. There is a lot of work to do here….. Thanks for the contest.
Love love love! Sure beats my grubby t-shirt and sweatpants I typically wear gardening!
I don`t usually wear anything in particular–usually a spare pair of jeans and old shirt….very attractive!!!?! this would add a nice spice too my gardening wardrobe …for sure!
It’s funny… I do NOT like to get dirty AT ALL, but I still love helping in our gardens. I have so many pairs of gloves, but never even thought of an apron, hat, or matching bag… MATCHING?!? I’m in heaven. : )

Wow, these would certainly brighten up my garden for the better! Right now my gardening outfit is nothing to write home about. I put on old comfy clothes that can get dirty and that bend well. My only “special” part is my red leather gloves. Love them. They protect my hands and I feel a bit fancy while planting bulbs and trimming shrubbery. If you every need to get the angst out, go trim shrubbery with a good pair of clippers- there’s nothing quite like it.
I love these fabulous things! I am generally gardening in an old t shirt and jeans, although it makes me shy to run into the neighbors. This would definitely alleviate that fear.
They are so great – and surely much more stylish than my j. crew cargo shorts from nearly 15 years a go paired with an old t-shirt.
Adore! My stylish gardening ensemble usually includes some form of sweat pants, jeans or shorts in the summer, fake uggs (fuggs) in the winter or flips in the summer, t-shirt, and if the neighbors are lucky a bra! This gardening set is gorg.
tank top, cutoff jean shorts, KEENE sandals, and some serious SPF 40 lotion! Don’t need any more freckles!
woohoo! what an amazing giveaway!
i garden with a favourite primary school tee, my boyfriend’s beloved boxer shorts and knee-high floral pink&black wellies!! i would love to trade it with this gorgeous look- so martha stewart!
thanks for the super cute giveaway
i usaly wear my ugly but comfertable clothes when i take care of the garden
thanks

I wear a kitchen apron and carry a tray of lemonade in the garden to my partner who is the gardener in the family. :-)
I have a long thin muslin skirt I like to garden in. The material is so nice in the heat, and I can tend to use the skirt like an apron, and wipe my hands on it. Maybe I need an actual apron? lol
I try to remember to wear my garden hat, but I always remember after my ears get burned.
I’ve been wanting to start a garden ever since we bought our house two years ago. I am quite sure with these adorable pieces, I actually would this year!
This would give me the motivation I need to go move some snow, save some evergreens and plant some new beauties.
thanks for sharing with us! it’s really cute AND practical!
I love this patterned brown apron and hat…
What I wear when gardening indoors is my bloganista outfit and a Japanese waist apron that I mainly use when cooking. Plus a pair of hard-working gloves, in unattractive grey/beige.

eek! So cute. I would love to rock these fun patterns in my new garden! ;)
What lovely gardening gear!! Sure beats my ripped jeans & rubber boots!
How perfectly beautiful–much better than ruining some of my regular clothing!
