i love target...

i think that most people would agree when i say that target is pretty much the greatest store ever.

{lately their home decor has been killing me}

i have always thought that they had cute clothes but have never really tried anything on more than once or twice in my life.

but the other day i was in urgent need of a dressy outfit and target was the most accessible store for me to find something in a hurry.

i found myself with piles of clothing in my arms, which i had not expected.

and then i was in one of those horrible positions in the dressing room where i had to decide what wasn't absolutely necessary for me to buy.

but i decided on this skirt and top.

{and another skirt that i will be showing you soon}

and i am just absolutely in love and happy with my target shopping emergency.

elle woods inspired...

if i were going to harvard law school, i would totally rock the pink blazers, pink heels, pink pencil skirts, etc.

and that is exactly what i like to imagine while wearing this outfit...

however, i do not go to law school and i do not have a job where i get to attend business meetings and important business lunches...

so, church will have to do!

but it's ok to dream about it...

blazer: h&m

skirt:h&m

why every fashionista should thrift shop.

 i love shoes.

love, love, love them! 

when i am low on money, i can't even go near the shoe section in certain stores because it's just too painful.

while at savers a few weeks ago, i was basically given a pair of beautiful heels.

they were so new that the original price tag from dillards was still on the bottom of the shoe.

the original price tag read $90- i got them for $10! 

boom baby.

and this is why every fashionista should hit up their local thrift shops every once in a while...

 jean jacket: aeropostale

striped tank: romy

skirt: romy

belt: unknown via designer shoe warehouse

shoes: enzo angiolini (thrifted, of course!)

necklace: rue 21

pretty little leggings

i am a sucker for leggings.

if i could wear them every single day, i would.

they are definitely the number one staple in my closet.

but sadly, they mostly all look the same.

i was so excited to find that jessica simpson makes pretty little leggings with ruffles, bows, and lace.

now, i need to convince myself that i can't wear these today and tomorrow and the next and the next day after that.

i just want to wear them with everything.

do you know of any more designers that make fancy leggings?

- if so, pretty please let me know!
