Unexpected Surprise

Top: Target ($7)

Cardigan: NY&Co, thrifted ($3.50)

Jeans: AE ($17)

Shoes: Smashion.com ($10)

I got this yellow cardigan some time ago and had planned to take the buttons off and change them.

I never did get around that...oops.

BUT.

This resulted in a fantastic discovery this morning when I realized they're a perfect match for the colors on this shirt I got from Target. 

Score.

Stripes

Top: Old Navy ($10)

Jeans: Ross, ($7)

Tribal Prep?

 Top: Target, thrifted ($3.50)

Blazer: Target, thrifted ($4)

Jeans: TJ Maxx ($7)

Boots: Adi Designs, via Amazon.com ($20)

Pardon the wet hair, this is what happens when you're on a super tight schedule and don't have time to deal with the hairdryer. Not to mention it was raining out anyway...so it would've gotten wet again anyway. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself! 

Both the blazer and the top are recent finds from Goodwill. I'm quite happy with both of them!

Textured

 Top: thrifted ($3.50)

I'm traveling for about a week or so, so I'll gone for a little while. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and week thereafter, and I'll see you soon!

Skirt: Vera by Vera Wang, given (free)

 Leggings: free

Scarf: F21 ($3)

Jacket: Target ($24)

Boots: Bandolino ($98)

Finally splurged on a good pair of boots. I had ordered a pair from Gilt last month, only to have received something in the mail that looked nothing like what I saw online. So I gave it up until I tried again over the holidays, and found these on Amazon for $98. Hopefully they'll last! They're a nice cognac leather and I actually like the design, no excessive buckles or zippers--just a good classic riding boot. Just what I was looking for. :)

Yellow + Sparkles

Mustard yellow and sequins. Two things I love. 

I think they should be a staple in every wardrobe.

Classy with Twist

 Top: Old Navy ($7)

Pants: J. Crew, thrifted ($3.50)

Coat: Target ($25)

Shoes: thrifted ($6)

I will forever love the button down and trench coat combination. I don't think you can go wrong with that. Nor can you go wrong with green pants.

Coral Love

I bought a new necklace over Black Friday weekend. Only thing I purchased that was actually relevant to the weekend's sales. I've been seeing these statement necklaces all over the internet, but typically for around $20. I got this one for $10, and I think it was a pretty good value for that price! 

Dress: American Eagle, thrifted ($3.50)

Cardigan: Target, thrifted ($3.50)

Shoes: Smashion.com ($10)

Necklace: Groopdealz.com ($10)

I also have really glittery nails right now. Moment of weakness/procrastination during this insanely busy week. Save me. 

Sorry for the inconsistency in my posting this past week or so, I promise that my outfits have mainly consisted of me waking up late and running out the door with whatever I just happen to find. You're not missing much. :)

But I've been baking up a storm, so I'll share some holiday goodness soon! 

And I know, I really shouldn't be baking, I'm so bad about time management.

New Things

Oh Friday. How I love you so. 

This week has been crazy, so thank you guys for hanging in there and being patient with me! 

I've got some pretty cool things to show you soon, like the plane-shaped cookie I made last night. It's pretty fantastic, you'll see. 

But for today we'll stick with a good old outfit post. :) 

Top: thrifted, DIY ($0.27)

Cardigan: Merona, thrifted ($3.50)

Pants: Rugged Wearhouse ($17)

Shoes: Target, $6

I got these fantastic polka dot pants last weekend. They were actually a bit of a splurge, at $17. Of course, I use the term "splurge" in a relative perspective, compared to my typical budget, not the typical retail price for jeans. But I think they were worth the price. :)

Did I mention they're reversible? They're reversible. Which is a little bit weird, but also pretty cool. The other side is just plain dark wash navy. I told myself I was technically buying two pairs of pants for $17.

The shoes are also new! Got them on clearance at Target for a little less than $6. I love the color, and they're suede. Classy. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all get the chance to relax with family and friends. I'm about to get to work on cooking up the inevitable food coma, so I thought I'd go ahead and do an outfit post before that. :) 

 

Top: Old Navy, thrifted ($3.50)

Pants: TJ Maxx ($9)

Sweater: JC Penney ($6)

Boots: Ross ($17)

Scarf: from Italy ($5)

The scarf is actually a rectangular wrap-styled one, I just tied the ends together to make it like an oversized infinity scarf. I think it works pretty well!

Enjoy your turkey and stay warm!

It's Not Easy Being Green

Top: Anthropologie, thirfted ($3.50)

Jeans: TJ Maxx ($8)

Boots: Rack Room ($17)

Jacket:  Maurice's, thrifted ($5)

Belt: thrifted ($1)

Decided to wear my rather Kermit-colored Anthropologie top today. I got it last month at Goodwill, and I have to say, I'm rather pleased with it! 

I love the crochet pattern at the top. :)

Also, today is boots day at Everybody Everywear, so go on over and take a look at all the fabulous outfits!
