Summer is almost over which means the sale opportunities are dwindling! This is the second $12 dress I bought at Kohl’s. Fit and flare is my go to style. It’s the most complimentary for my figure (slightly pear). It’s Lauren Conrad. Usually her dresses have a waistline that is a little too high for me. This one fits a little lower. Still not perfect, but for $12, I know it’s something that no one else would notice but me. I love the lace detail (it’s on the back too, but I forgot to get a picture of it) and it’s machine washable! Perfect as a throw on dress and I bet if I ironed it :-), I could dress it up with heels. I’m not sure the color comes through here but it’s a corally red. Great for my skin tone! The purse came from a golf outing giveaway (nice, right?–thanks for the invite, Elise). It’s a Coach Peyton Swingback Crossbody bag (no longer available, but lots on Ebay). I had it made into a clutch (more on this in my next post). The watch and sunglasses are from Target (seen here and here) and the flip flips are Lands’ End. Nail Polish is Sally Hanson in Sheer Force (also seen here).

a-line skirt, coral bag, coral purse, Denim Jacket, forever 21, full skirt, gold flip flops, jean jacket, Lands' End, nine west bag, stainless steel watch, tank top, Target, target tank, Target Watch, tj maxx, yellow and grey

This outfit turned out better than I thought it would. An easy, but still pulled together outfit for me is a tank or tee with a flirty A-linish skirt and flip flops. It’s so much cuter than just shorts. The skirt is from Forever 21 at least 2 years ago. Go figure, it still has a regular spot in my summer wardrobe. The tank, in heather grey, is from Target this year. Denim jacket (also seen here and here) is so old. H & M about 15 years ago and I still love it. I can wear it open or buttoned up. I liked it better buttoned up for this look. The sleeves are pulled up a la J.Crew 2015. The bag is Nine West, TJ Maxx last summer. The flip flops are Lands’ End (no longer available and hard to find nice gold ones, so if you see a pair, grab them!). Watch is Target (also seen here).

4th of July outfit, casual outfit, cateye sunglasses, gold flip flops, isaac mizrahi, light tortoise watch, mantra bands, memorial day outfit, nautical, navy and white striped shorts, patriotic outfit, polka dot ribbon belt, Red Striped Tee, strapless tee, Target, Target Watch, tube top

I love these shorts. I wear them often. I found them last year at Marshall’s after I saw a similar pair on Pinterest. I love the stripes that are more of a rope pattern and the gold button detail. They are my version of neutral because they go with anything. I like them with a polka dot ribbon belt that is reversible with stripes on the other side. The belt came with a white shirt dress I bought 10 years ago at Target — back when Isaac Mizrahi had a line there. For the 4th, I wore them with my red tube top (Walmart — seen here in mint green). Accessories: gold flip flops, Lands End; watch Target; bracelets, Mantra Bands (also seen here); cateye sunnies, Target.

Columbia Restaurant, Fuschia, Long Necklace, Navy, Palazzo, pink bag, Sangria, Target Watch

These might be my new favorite pants. After so many years of skinnies, palazzos are back! They are so comfortable and I love how they kind of look like a maxi skirt but without being cumbersome like a maxi skirt. I just got it this week on clearance at Target. I made a killing at Target. The tank top is old Target in a dark fuchsia, but they have them on sale this week 3 for $27. I can never have enough white ones, so I bought a white grey and a couple of new V-Neck tees on sale for the same price. Necklace was a birthday gift (also seen here)and the watch is also Target, last spring. The sangria is the best we’ve ever had from Columbia Restaurant. We buy it by the case. Yummm.

Aviators, aztec skirt, boyfriends watch navy, capri leggings, Report Slip On Mettalic slip on sneaker, Target Watch

I love this outfit. It is so comfortable but still looks cute. This is how I usually wear this skirt (a TJ Maxx magical find, also seen here). You can buy it here, on sale for $29.99. With cropped leggings (Danskin, Walmart) and this short sleeved turtleneck which is old school Victoria’s Secret Tee Shop…at least 11 years old. I also have it in grey which matches the skirt perfectly. My metallic Report slip ons (seen here and here) make this outfit even more comfortable. And another new watch from Target — found it on clearance for $10 and could not resist. Since I am obsessed with navy, it fits into my collection nicely. Note the Tachymeter… 🙂

Detachable fur collar, Green Strap, Large Clutch, Military style watch, Navy Clutch, Nine West, Olive wrap coat, Olivia Palermo, Short Sleeved Turtleneck, Sleeveless, Target Watch, Trouser Denim, Wrap Sweater

Wide legged denim is coming back. I saw this pic of Olivia Palermo and found inspiration.

While I don’t own any actual bell bottoms, I’ve got lots of wide legged/boot cuts that really resemble a bell bottom. These are a pair that have never left my closet (also seen here with the same faux suede boots). They are more of trouser pant. They are GAP and of course they are really old — About 10 years. The sleeveless sweater wrap is also old (also seen here), TJ Maxx. T was in preschool, so 4 years ago at least. Short sleeved T-neck is Target this past fall (also seen here). If they have them again in 2015, I recommend getting one or 2. The neck is snug but not too tight and oooohhh so soft. The coat is Nine West (also seen here). The clutch was a find! I found it in a Savers store for $4.00. It’s fabric quilted Navy (I’ve already explained my current obsession with Navy in my last outfit post) and it has a long chain strap, so I can wear it cross-body, or double it up and make it a shoulder strap. But mostly I use it as a large clutch. I’m finding a lot of bags that I am making into clutches. I should do a post on that. 🙂 And I just did a major watch buy at Target. They were $10 a piece. I couldn’t resist. Military style accessories are in this Spring. It’s a men’s watch so I had to make some modifications so it would fit. Nothing a pair of scissors and super glue can’t handle.
