tuesday {tweaked}

webster at target white tunic {thrifted target stock}  ·   handmade (by me) skirt
 mossimo wanda wedges   ·   target belt {thrifted target stock}

tweaked / i was at my favorite GW bright & early yesterday as all colored tags {except red = target stock} were 50% off for labor day.  i love these sale days!  i came away with four tops and a blazer, including this blouse for $1.99.  it has such a pretty embossed jacquard pattern & crisp white always leaves me feeling so polished. belting this tunic-length top with a wide brown belt gave the outfit a different look compared to my typical tucked in blouses and cardigans... it's nice how a minor tweak in your typical uniform can keep you excited about putting together outfits and getting dressed each morning.  i think i need to try this more often!

here's a peak at the other items i brought home with me from the GW:

old navy blazer {thrifted}  ·  handmade (by me) skirt

lela rose for payless finsbury pumps   ·  target belt

i mentioned yesterday that i'm trying to watch my spending since i bought a new car recently.  with the apartment to myself this past weekend, i figured it would be the perfect time to fire up my sewing machine and make some skirts.  this is a cute little lisette print from joann's that i think makes the perfect spring/summer skirt.  originally, i wanted to wear it with a short sleeved brown blazer that i thrifted years ago (eek) and have never worn, but i liked the effect a little bit better with a lighter tone on top.  i'm still so happy with this neutral linen blazer and anticipate the cost per wear being next to nothing by the end of the season.  and even though these pictures were taken before 7am this morning, i promise that my eyes weren't really closed {or were they?!}  i also confess that i added a bracelet and a different brown belt before walking out the door... this one was kind of cutting off my circulation.  :)  thanks for dropping by!
