This was such a fun post for me! My sweet cousin, Tia, has become an urban flower farmer. She is turning her passion of flowers and gardening into a woman-owned business. In Bloom-Urban Flower Farm, located in Spokane, Washington, will offer weekly subscriptions to fresh flowers, bulk buckets, and flower arrangement parties. In Bloom also plans to be at local farmer’s markets. She asked me to help create an urban flower farmer uniform. (I added the Bossylady!) How could I say no? She wanted quick, easy options that would transition from garden, to workshop, to market with out a lot of fuss! But of course she wants to look her best! This is what I came up with:
In the Garden (pictured above):
Her backyard is going to a magical world of flowers. Time will be spent tending and harvesting in the garden. Needing something easy-yet not precious since she is going to get dirty- I pulled together vintage denim and t-shirts (new could work as well), chic waterproof boots, and an apron. She can throw on this easy uniform, down a cup of coffee, and get to work.
In the Workshop (below):
When she hosts evening flower arrangement classes, we cleaned it up a little. A colorful or striped t-shirt with high rise denim. AND my all time favorite idea……. the jumpsuit/coverall option. This is probably a stretch for any of us, but it fits perfectly with her aesthetic! I REALLY hope she goes for it. Paired with retro sneakers and an apron, she will be ready for the workshop!
At the Market (below):
During the months that flowers are in bloom, she plans to be at the local farmer’s market. It is usually very warm in Spokane during the summer months, so I wanted her to look great but still be comfortable. Long cut-off denim shorts and a breezy shirt is the perfect combo. A simple cotton dress could be equally easy and a great alternative to living in denim. A short bistro apron -to stash all her cash -and amazing clogs finish the market uniform.
I am so proud of Tia! Isn’t her logo just perfect? If you live in the Spokane area, be sure to check out her amazing offerings.
