On Target #ootd

I am a BIG advocate for Target. I’m normally there to run errands anyway, so it’s often easy for me to run to the clothing department and pick up a piece or two to match with what I have at home. This look is entirely from Target and under $85 (these high-waisted pants?? yes, neverbeenso impressed)! Links below.

Look For Less: Duck Boots

I’ve wanted duck boots for awhile now, but every time I’ve gone to order them from L.L. Bean , they’re out of stock. Well no surprise, this Holiday season. My mom went to order them for me as a Christmas gift, and we were shocked that the arrive date was March 2016. I understand they are hand-made and for that reason, take extra time to create. However, that doesn’t mean I want to wait until March of next year for an item that I order now.

I finally told myself, I just wasn’t getting duck boots again this year. UNTIL, I was walking in Target yesterday, and saw a pair! I had to do a double-take because from far away they looked the exact same as the ones I’ve been pining after. I figured as I got close I would notice the problem. But there wasn’t one. Sure, they aren’t the same caliber of quality, but they’re also $50 cheaper and you can have them RIGHT NOW. If you’re using them mainly for fashion, it’s a no-brainer. I have a pair of sturdy hiking boots I wouldn’t trade for the world, so those are my go-tos for any type of trekking. I tried them on and they looked great!

FYI: I’m usually a 7.5 and the 7 fit me well. The 8 was a little too big.

So, why spend $100+ on duck boots, when you can get this pair at Target now for $50! They also have different styles and colors!

Rainy Monday #OOTD

Rainy Monday. Nothing a few great accessories can’t fix. I’ve been obsessing over the Swell bottles for some time now, but I couldn’t pull the trigger on just one style (there are so many!). But for my birthday this week, Will pulled the trigger for me and got the adorable Grapefruit Linen from the Textile Collection. It’s been glued to my hands all weekend.

Baltimore is full of beautiful craftsmanship as seen in the picture below. Look at this combination of various bricks, wood & metal. Alone they are scraps, but together they tell a story. Brands below.

Fall Faves Under $50

Ok guys, if you haven’t been able to tell already, I love Fall, I mean really love it. However, Fall style usually comes at a premium. I already listed my favorite booties under $75 and now I’m adding on other fun [and inexpensive] goodies!  Here are some of my absolute favorite Fall pieces and they’re all [get this!] under $50! I got a little carried away, but hey, this girl loves getting the look for less! [Brands below].

Tuesday #ootd

I just had the most beautiful LONG weekend in Colorado visiting friends. It was my first time out there and the beauty was astounding. We didn’t have the best weather, but it was better than back here at home [lookin at you Joaquin] and the atmosphere did not disappoint. That being said, I’m now back to the grind after 5 days off and let me tell you, it’s tough. My body definitely couldn’t keep up with that binge drinking/eating lifestyle [I gained at least 7 lbs from this trip] and right now I’m hurting.

So when the alarm started going at 4am, I had zero motivation to get up and moving and when that happens, I always feel like a good outfit puts me back together and on the right track. However, today, leggings > real pants!  [Brands below]

Patchwork Denim with Simplicity, Prints & Color!

I’ve been into the patchwork denim as of late, but have yet to come across some that fit well into my budget; so I made this collection to show exactly how I would pair it up! I think a couple of simple staples, such as a basic tee and solid accessories are key, as well as throwing in a pop of color or pattern to tie it all together!

Now I can’t afford much of what’s on this list, but it gives me great inspiration for hunting out deals & steals! Wish me luck!

Floral Wide Legs

I live in the SALE section as much as I possibly can nowadays. With a wedding coming and trying to save for a house, I’ve found myself cutting back where it makes sense, although I can’t cut my shopping habit completely, of course. But you can find some really great deals on the sale racks if you have the time to do so. These floral wide legs are sooo me (the 60s are my decade, for sure). I checked them out online and saw they were on sale and then to my surprise, they were marked down even further in store to $49.95 (neverbeenso lucky)!  Pair them with a simple top and some boots and you’re all set! Brands below!

P.S. This lip color is your go-to for Fall!

Layers Are My Favorite

Finally, the air is crisp and what goes perfect with crisp air? LAYERS LAYERS LAYERS. That is what Fall is all about and I’ve neverbeenso ready this year. I’ve seen tons of cool prints out this season, don’t be afraid to mix it up! Check out this casual look that I can’t get enough of. Also, these booties are TO DIE for. Brands below.
