From phlox to chocolate mint, there’s a lot of planting that’s been going on in Bound to be Creative gardens. Today I’m giving you the dirt on what is perfect for the garden and I can’t live without when I’m up to my ears in hostas….
Knit slouchy hats and lemons?
New product update! When life hands you broken-hot-water-heater lemons, you throw on your new slouchy stretch knit beanie and pull up the big-girl panties and keep movin’ (and call your neighbor up for seven hot showers….)

Outfit #6 – April showers bring…..
So the weather will eventually get nice again – but how nice? This is how Bound to be Creative dresses for her OOTD (outfit of the day) in mid-April. Hat? – um, yeah! Jacket?….

Accessorizing and Outfit Ideas
Do you feel needed?
That feeling of being needed or wanted or even liked – is awesome. For example, take these new knit slouchy hats pictured above, they are all unique and special in their own way and so pretty in their existence in a photo together, much like a community of special-ness. Okay, so I’m a little drama-llama with my handmade hats. Truth be told, handmade hats are not the only thing I am attached to….

Outfit #5: Who’s Your Bestie?
Seriously, the wind earlier this week had me at…shutter-buster-window-whistlin’-hold-on-to-your-hats! I was actually worried about not getting to my meeting out of town because of the wind. Call me a pansy or an introvert, either way, I voted to get there or be square. Here’s how I layered up after my brain refused to wear a coat.

Outfit #4: Keep on Truckin’
I have soft spot for this hat. Glad you asked….
Feelin’ Tough
The Trucker Hat is an “I’m tough” sorta hat-feelin’ when I throw it on. When I wear this handmade hat, most of the time my hair is fancy free and not constrained by bands or clips. My mood changes a bit to rebeliscious (of course it’s a real word). The Trucker Hat makes me want to kick up some dust on country roads in 4-wheel drive, heck – make that a stick shift and might as well throttle some donut holes in the middle of the road and call it, well…. feelin’ tough.
BUT today, my friends – it’s the perfect opportunity to show you how a handmade hat can look great on a no makeup-bread-baking-go-for-a-walk-in-my-blacktop-neighborhood weekday! Who’s with me? YES!!!!

Outfit #3: Color Complimenting is Key
A quick little OOTD (outfit of the day). I wore a fun outfit a couple of weeks ago when taking some kiddos to the ortho (see photo below). I wanted to have some “express yourself fun” as I had been a nurse-mom to a daughter who had a tonsillectomy (two weeks home in bed, ugh!). As my daughter was just waking up, her eyes just about popped outta her head when she saw I was actually wearing “the tights”. She was probably thankful to be staying on the couch and not venturing out with said tights and her mom at the same time. I love the mom-perks – “shock and awe”.

Outfit #2: Yes, white in winter
Who says you can’t wear white in winter? I dress as my mood strikes me and this day I was feeling a bright white. The sun was out and my mood was just as sunny – I was taking my daughters into town for afternoon window shopping. Find out how fashion and function unite!
