To the Max!

Well Claire I made it through the weekend just fine. Claire really enjoyed her time with my parents and there are so many cute, happy pictures of her! I can't say I enjoyed my weekend as much as she did, but we some work around our house done. Like all 12 cubic yards of that mulch spread. 
See we have a row of pine trees in our backyard and nothing grows under them. Well nothing but weeds. I tried to section off the area years ago with rocks and plant some hostas, but it didn't work. The weeds were 6 feet tall. It was ridiculous (and embarrassing). I think our neighbors hated us. I'm really glad we don't have a Home Owners Association to fine us or anything! Last summer I finally did a thorough job of cleaning up the area and we put the weed block cloth down. Now it's finally covered and we have a respectable back yard!

See how else I've worn my denim jacket here.

    WOW Nice Yard!! Excellent work, my friend!!


    And you look beautiful. I want to re-create this look because I have all the pieces. Love the Black Maxi on you. I don't think I had ever seen you wearing a Maxi, before. =)

    I have my eye on the short sleeve version of that maxi, but it looks really long on you and I have always been under the impression that you are pretty tall!

    Nice job on the yard, I could never have managed that in one weekend!

    Chic on the Cheap

    I'm only 5'5" and it is pretty long. I am wearing it with flats though. I think I might shorten the straps to help with that as a quick fix. :)

    I'm only 5'5" in heels, so I'd definitely have to hem it ;)

    I love this simple chic black maxi! Now I need one too! Your yard looks great!! We had the deer eat 6 huge trees over the winter. We need to pull them out but the weather is too nice now and we want to swim! For now, the dead trees stand;) Susan

    Well it helps when your husband does not live overseas for most of the year anymore right ;) Looks great! But of course you know I drool over your home, weeds and all!

    I really like how you did your yard! We haven't done much if any yard work since we moved in 2 years ago. I hope ours don't hate us either! I really like how you styled your dress! I really love your necklace and leopard-print belt!

    Super cute maxi- and so remixable! And holy mulch! That's a lot of work! Hopefully the mulch will last through two springs so you don't have to do it over next time? It looks fantastic!

    This is half of the mulched area of our yard. Everything around the house we did last year so hopefully we can do each area every other year. :) At least we can get it done in about a day if we work together!

    That maxi dress is beautiful on you! Really like it paired with the denim jacket, and the belt is a nice touch too :)

    I love how you made a black maxi so fun and unique with a few accessories. Pretty!
    Congrats on your yardwork achievements--I've had trouble with pesky weeds in years past as well!
