I don’t know about you, but when springtime comes around, I can’t help but become a bit of a cliche, wanting to bust out all my floral clothing, buy hanging plant baskets at Home Depot, and live my best garden girl life.

And you know what? There is nothing wrong with that! Spring only lasts a certain amount of time, and it’s to be cherished.

If you want to channel your inner garden girl and embrace all things pretty and floral this spring, here’s how to do it!

Look for great vintage pieces

The garden girl and cottage core aesthetics involve a lot of beautiful vintage clothes and antiques.

There isn’t much of a modern vibe to the garden girl look, as it encourages us to get more in touch with a pre-screens era. Hit up your local thrift store for some pretty pieces you can give a second life.

Wear skirts and dresses

When I think of garden girls, I see long, flowy skirts and dresses. Now is the time to embrace them and ditch your jeans or work pants for a pretty, lacy long skirt.

However, if you really don’t like skirts, you can also go for a fun pair of springtime overalls, a classic garden outfit!

Bring on the floral accessories

When accessorizing your garden girl outfits, you want to look for accessories that give off a whimsical, fairy-like vibe.

One of the best ways to do this is to wear jewelry with floral elements. Look for necklaces, earrings, and bracelets with dainty floral charms, wear flower crows or pins, etc.

Get yourself a basket bag

Another garden-esque accessory you can carry around during your garden girl days is a great basket bag. If you like any kind of natural aesthetic, from coastal grandmother to cottage core, a basket bag is a wonderful accessory to have on hand.

You can also keep it around for the summertime and take it on the beach with you when spring is over!

If you’re ready to get out of your ‘April showers’ funk or still feel a bit dull from the winter, try to embrace the beauty of spring and channel your inner garden girl.
