tuesday {standby}

eddie bauer button-down   merona skirt

merona mari heels   simply vera wang necklace

standby / please standby for more regular posting on this blog.  my parents are in town visiting right now and so my time has been spent cramming in as much time with them and other family members as i can, sewing up a storm with my mom {we have three projects going right now and are taking a trip to a giant fabric store today}, and, oh yes, still going to work.  this outfit is definitely a standby for work - a printed skirt whose colors lend themselves easily to be matched with simple tops in my closet when time is lacking to come up with anything more creative.  i have a feeling this is going to be a long summer - i hope i can find some different combinations of skirts & tops in my closet to keep it interesting!  i hope you all are doing well!

thursday (repeated)

 mossimo sweater   merona doubleweave floral skirt

loeffler randall for target ruffle flats

i am in the camp that it is totally acceptable to repeat outfits if you really liked them, and so with that disclaimer i present this outfit that i've already worn.  the only difference from the last time was the added button-down underneath it.  i have at least one morning a week that, despite my planning and best efforts, the outfit i picked out just doesn't work for me... so then i reach for something that has worked in the past.  and then i just try again tomorrow!  have a good evening!

monday (floral)

mossimo sweater   merona doubleweave floral print skirt

loeffler randall for target rosette flats   handmade necklace

i again profess my love for target skirts.  way back in august i had my eye on this skirt, passed it up when it went on sale, and then missed out when it went on clearance... until a couple weeks ago i did a sweep through the clearance aisles and my eye zoned into this lonely skirt stuck between a handful of khaki pants.  i believe that it always pays to wait; i didn't need this skirt back in august, i was just drawn to the print.  i keep my eye on things i like and purchase it if the price is right... and at $5.74, the price was definitely right for this skirt {it's too bad i there weren't any target coupons to pair with it!}.  do you feel the same, or do you regularly purchase clothes at full price?

thanks for stopping by!
