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!

tuesday (rested)

 

handmade (by me) skirt   old navy cardigan   xhilaration top

f21 braided belt   merona myka wedges   handmade (by friend) necklace

i'm trying really hard to get past this cold of mine.  last night i came home and rested on the couch, which was hard for me.  i am always going, going, going and i don't think i give my body enough time to rest without looking at a computer screen, an iphone screen, or even a book.  is anyone else like that?  maybe that is how i got sick in the first place, i was wearing my body down.  so i went to bed really early last night and i am trying to take better care of myself.  sometimes it ends up being good to experience these moments that intentionally force us to slow down (i love this jack johnson lyric: "slow down everyone, you're moving too fast").  i was thankful too that i had a home visit early this afternoon and was able to head home afterwards and work from home the rest of the day.  i always feel more comfortable in my own surroundings!  and as much as i love this skirt that i made on sunday, it was nice to swap it out for a pair of jeans.  have a great evening, everyone!
