tuesday (goodwu)

 

gap outlet blazer {thrifted}   coldwater creek turtleneck {thrifted}

old navy skirt   old navy sueded rider boots   forever 21 belt

happy tuesday!  i found this great gap outlet dark gray herringbone blazer at the goodwill on sunday.  know what else i found that i was so bummed i couldn't take a picture of for you guys because i forgot my iphone at home?  jason wu.  yes, the navy dress (that my friend whitney is wearing so fabulously here) and a pink sheer shirt.  you can tell how far i stray from trends, i don't even know the names of the pieces.  but i sure could spot them right away after seeing so many bloggers highlight them.  honestly, i don't know how target stock winds up at the GW but i think it's a combination of returns, clearance, and damages.  the jason wu were obviously returns?  a bit of missoni ended up at my local GW's, so i am not surprised that mr wu is too, even though it's only been what, a couple weeks since its debut at target?

i'm pretty excited about the blazer, though!  it's a great dark gray herringbone with fun elbow patches. my blazer collection is expanding, my friends!

monday (presents: the favorite)

 old navy blouse & cardigan   merona belt {thrifted target stock}

handmade (by me) skirt   old navy sueded rider boots

even though i love looking at the walls of fabric and seeing so many fun colors & cute prints, 95% of the fabric that i buy to make skirts out of comes from the red tag section at joann's.  this fabric was $7 a yard, but i got it on a day that there was an additional 50% off... so this skirt was a whopping $3.50 to make!  this is such a fun print and i think it's by far my favorite skirt that i've ever made.  and can you believe i could wear it outside with no coat?!  even though these outside pictures didn't turn out that great, i just had to post them because it's january and i live in minnesota!  have a happy evening!
