we love target accessories, do we not?  one of the first areas of the store i veer towards whenever i go to target is the accessories section.  i love finding clearance necklaces and scarves, and sometimes i find pretty good deals on purses and bags, too.  this necklace is just another example of all of the identical target items my friend whitney and i have in our respective closets.  see the other ways i have worn it here.  and be sure to head on over to her blog to see how she wore hers & link up your outfit to show off whatever target accessory you are wearing today!

 

{sorry about the frumpy, stretched out sweater... it got very humid & i got very hot by the end of the day!}

 

tomorrow whitney and i will be wearing the same pair of shoes from target, which if i think about it would have gone really well with this skirt (another easy elastic-waist skirt i made a couple weeks ago.  if anyone is wondering, i go by this tutorial but as you can see, i make an actual waistband to cover the elastic and sometimes i skip the pockets).  we'll be linking up our target shoe posts here at my blog tomorrow, so be sure to come on back!

i tell you, the clearance shoe aisle of target is a dangerous place to happen upon, but how can you look away when 70% off signs are flashing in your face like a lit marquee?  oh dear.  it's all justifiable though when you come away with two pairs of shoes unlike anything you already have for less than $20 and you used gift cards that covered most of the cost.  i love, love, love chestnut/cognac brown so these shooties were a no-brainer, especially after lusting over the TOMS version that are sold out everywhere in my size.  i also picked up a pair of teal wedges to work toward my goal of adding more colorful shoes to my shoe closet this year.  not that i want to be an enabler or anything but what are you still reading this post for?  go to target and get yourself some new shoes!!  have a great weekend & thanks for visiting!

monday (deactivated)

 

handmade (by me) skirt   mossimo sweater

merona tights   lela rose for payless finsbury heels

forever 21 belt   loft necklace (won in giveaway)

today was definitely a monday, wasn't it?  i had a really hard time getting activated to do anything today.  yet if i were home all day, i'm sure i would have whipped up half a dozen skirts like the one i am wearing.  i mentioned this on friday, but it feels so good to be engaged creatively with something i am interested in.  i really think i could sit at my sewing machine and crank out skirt after skirt, but my closet is overflowing as it is so i don't know how well that would work after a while!  well anyway, i am going to watch the sing off and finish another skirt this evening and hopefully end this day on a more positive note.  here's to looking forward to tuesday!
