30 for 30 Challenge: Number Thirteen

Crops & Shirt: Target
Sandals: Aerosoles

So I got an unexpected but good surprise today: my friend Debbie (Dark Horse), was in town today and unlucky for her, her car died. Lucky for me that she called me to pick her up and we got to have a nice lunch together and hang out a little. Yea! Also, we are headed to Anthro this weekend so hopefully we will have some good reviews. Plus I finally get to use my birthday discount! I'm hoping to get the Night Skating Top, Bountiful Birds Blouse and the Cattleya Cardigan and maybe the Picture Frame Blouse. (If they have any of these at all or if they even have my size!)

30 for 30 Challenge: Number Eleven & Twelve

Dress, Sandals & Belt: Target

I'm realizing that this dress looks better with a cardigan because it is really pulling across my bust. Also, it wrinkles easily. I am starting to have a hard time with this challenge. I am wishing I picked a few things differently. Like why did I include some things I've never worn before or things that fit don't very well!!

Dress & Cardigan: Target
Sandals: Clarks
Scarf as a belt: American Eagle

My eye has been swollen part of the day, I think I'm getting a sty. Just in case you're wondering why I'm doing a weird eye squinting thing on one side in this pic. I am trying to really get creative here with the scarf as a belt which I've never done before but I like it.

30 for 30 Challenge: Number Seven & Eight

Sweater: Steinmart
Pants: Old Navy
Sandals: Target
(No, I am not counting the tank top, it counts as underwear in my mind!)

I thought I would show what it looks like trying to get a decent picture with my little munchkin running around the room. I think I was saying, "What? Go get a book to read."

Dress: Target
Top: Ann Taylor Loft
Sandals: Aerosoles
Belt: Ross

I realized today that if I stand sideways in this dress with it belted like that, I look pregnant again. Not exactly what I was going for!! Either way, it's a very versatile and comfy dress so I guess people can think what they want.

On a side note, I think I'm going to have to switch out one of my cardigans that I had picked out for the challenge because when I washed it, it shrunk! I mean it basically turned into a shrug. It said you could dry it so I don't know what happened. So I am trading the reddish colored cardigan for a different red colored cardi; they're pretty much alike so I'm not cheating. Right?

30 for 30 Challenge: Number Six

Blouse: Anthropologie
Skirt: Old Navy
Sandals: Born

Monday, Monday....going for a simple but colorful look today. I love this top, which I think I've said 100 times already but it's so cute and comfy. Everytime I wear this skirt, it looks like a different color in my pictures, but I promise that it is black.

P.S. I am obsessed with the Words With Friends app on my I-Phone. Is anyone else a fan? If you want to play me, my username is SassySara1.

30 for 30 Challenge: Number Five

Top: Target
Skirt: Anthropologie
Sandals: Born
Earrings: Etsy

Here is outfit 5! I just wore this to run a few errands and go shopping around town with my Mom and Sydney, of course. (Don't worry, I didn't buy anything for myself!) It was super humid and rainy today so I just wanted to be comfortable and cool, so this skirt did the trick. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

30 for 30 Challenge: Number Three

Dress: Target
Cardigan: Target
Belt: Ross
Shoes: Aerosoles
Bird Necklace & Earrings: Fossil/Ross

I found this cute dress faux wrap dress at Target the day before I started the 30 for 30 Challenge. I provided the link above if anyone is interested. They also had pink, purple and black in the solid and blue and brown in a geometric print. I love my little bird necklace from Fossil, my Mom got it for me and I wear it a lot. As luck would have it, a few weeks ago I found the matching earrings at Ross for $4!! I was so happy and now my solo bird has turned into a trio.

P.S. I need your input on something important: I got my birthday discount for Anthropologie in the mail today. I have to use it before the end of July so I think I'm gonna have to cheat and buy something. I mean, it's an Anthropologie discount and it happens only once a year. What do you think I should do?? I need the peer pressure to persuade me to use it!

P.S.S. I'm excited because I am FINALLY going to see Eclipse tonight!

30 for 30 Challenge: Number Two

Top: Anthropologie
Cardigan: Target
Skirt: thrifted
Belt: Target
Sandals: Born

Here's outfit 2! I am soooo tired today, Sydney kept us up half of the night (I don't know what is going on with her but she is sleeping awful lately), so I thought I would wear some bright and cheerful colors to wake me up or make me look more awake. Either way, it worked and I was in a better mood for the day, I mean how can you be grumpy when you're wearing polka dots? I don't think it's possible.

OOTD: Pastel Princess

I was so excited to wear my new Sidewalk Chalk Skirt today! I love the soft pastel colors and the lovely floral pattern. It feels very girly but is so comfy at the same time. Unfortunately, it poured the whole morning here; you can't tell but my feet are soaked here. Our parking lot at work fills up like a lake when it rains so I had water to my ankles as I ran to my car.

Shirt: Old Navy
Tank: Target
Skirt: Anthropologie Sidewalk Chalk Skirt
Sandals: Target

Also, I want to say a special thank you to my friend Debbie at Dark Horse for offering to take my shirt back to Anthropologie to get the security tag removed. You are awesome!

P.S. Tomorrow is my 30th birthday! I'm a grown up now. :)

OOTD Catch Up

I had a busy weekend so I didn't get a chance to post my OOTD from Sunday. We just went to lunch and ran errands so I tried to stay as cool and comfy as possible.

Tank, Skirt & Sandals: Target

This is my OOTD for today. I went simple cause I wasn't feeling very creative this morning and you can't go wrong with black & white. Plus, I wanted an excuse to wear my new shoes that I got from Aerosoles on Saturday during our shopping trip. They were already on sale and I got another 25% off! Yeah!

Shirt: Target
Skirt: Express
Shoes: Aerosoles

OOTD: I Got Stripes

My shirt is a reflection my very 'green' day that I had: this morning a 'green' frog jumped out of my garbage disposal and almost give me a heart attack, then I sat at the traffic light to make a left turn and the freakin' arrow never turned 'green', I sat through three light rotations before I gave up and made my way back into traffic, plus it's payday so I've got some 'green' in my bank account.

Debbie (Dark Horse) and I are making a trip to Anthropologie tomorrow so all of the green I just put in the bank will probably be gone! So hopefully we will have some reviews for you tomorrow or Sunday. I hope our store has some of the new pretties that just popped up online. Does anyone know what day of the week the stores get their shipments?

Shirt: Tulle
Capris: Old Navy
Sandals: Born

OOTD: Pretty Little Buttons

I waited sooooo long for this cardigan to go on sale and I was devastated when I saw that the website sold out of my size months ago. So I tried my luck the day it went on sale and called my local store (where I had seen a stack of them weeks ago) as soon as they opened. As you can see, they had my size and they shipped it to me pronto! It was well worth the wait for this baby! Oh, and it is like 95 degrees here in Florida but I just had to wear it anyway, I am willing to suffer for the cuteness! Sorry that my clothes are also so wrinkly in my pics, I do these when I get home so I've been sitting in them for hours already. I am just never ready early enough in the morning to take a picture. I'm sure other mommies (and non-mommies) can relate!
Cardigan: Anthropologie Button Bin Cardigan
Skirt: WalMart
Tank: Old Navy
Shoes: Payless

OOTD: Grey Gardens

I think my title is misleading, I wish there was a lovely, colorful garden in the background of this picture but alas, it's just my living room. I just couldn't think of a clever title today. (I guess my chair does have flowers on it though!) I like this grey shirt from Tulle, it's lightweight and it has pockets, even though you can't see them here and it has that adorable bow. My cardi needs no explanation, it's polka dots and therefore adorable in my book.

Skirt: Target
Shirt: Tulle
Cardigan: Old Navy
Sandals: Aerosoles

I just wanted to throw in this picture of Sydney and her Daddy on Father's Day. I was asking her to point to Daddy's nose. How cute are they??

OOTD: Safari Sara

This shirt dress is a recent purchase from the magical land of Target. It really is comfy and cool for summer. They had it in this khaki color and purple and black. I saw a lot of potential for styling with the khaki color plus I had a 20% off coupon so I scooped it up. These leopard print peep toes have a very small wedge heel which I love. I actually got them last year but forgot I had them in my closet. I love it when you can shop for new things in your own closet!

Shirt dress: Target
Tank top: Old Navy
Belt: Target
Leopard Wedges: Target

OOTD: True Blue

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend. As you can see I was in an all blue mood today. I love the color of this dress, it's so rich and saturated. I am also just noticing that the lighting in this pic is making my legs look scary white! Yikes! It has been so dreary here in FL the last few days, everyday it has rained or thundered at some point. I thought I lived in the Sunshine State. The calendar says it the first day of summer but it's felt like summer here for 2 months. Hope the weather is better where you are today.

Dress: Anthropologie Hushed Season Shift
Cardigan: Target
Sandals: Born

OOTD: Blue Jean Baby

I'll give you one guess as to where every piece of my outfit is from today. Drumroll......Target! If you haven't noticed I have a close and personal relationship with Target seeing as how I give it half of my paycheck each week. I went in there last night for milk and some finger paint for Sydney and spent $80! How does that happen? At least everything else I got was on clearance but that doesn't matter when it adds up to $80 does it? Oh well, damage done.

Top, Capri's & Shoes: Target

I think these shoes are just adorable. I stalked them last year to go on sale and I think I ended up getting them for $10.00.

OOTD: Think Green

I think I scored this top from Tulle on super sale for like $4.00 about a year ago. I really like the tiny floral print but the back of the shirt is a racer back so I always have to wear it with a cardigan. (Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make any women's top a racer back?) I just got this navy skirt on eBay about a week ago for $3.50. I had been looking everywhere for a simple navy skirt when this appeared and my problem was solved. (Sorry it's all wrinkly!)

On a side note, I think I am getting addicted to eBay. I have the app for my phone and I check it waaaaaay to often. But sometimes it can be ridiculous, I was bidding on an Anthropologie Cartography Cardigan (L) a few days ago and it ended up selling for $168!! I don't think I'll ever need a cardigan that bad and if I feel that I do, someone get me professional help.

Top: Tulle
Cardigan: Target
Navy Skirt: Eddie Bauer (via ebay)
Sandals: Born
Bracelet: a little shop in Paris (years ago)

Detail on the top: little flowers
Detail on bracelet from a trip to Paris many years ago.

OOTD: Target Love

Since about 80% of my outfit today is Target, I felt the title was appropriate. We all know that Target emits some sort of toxin in the air that makes you want to buy things and I think I am exposed to it frequently since there is a Target pretty much right across the road from my house. (This is a very good and very bad thing at the same time.) I really like the pattern and vibrant colors in this skirt for summertime and these sandals are so easy and comfortable.

Cardi: Target
Tank: Target
Skirt: Goody's (years ago)
Sandals: Target
Necklace: Anthropologie Circular Fabric Locket

OOTD: Dot to Dot

I am looking up in this picture because I am thanking whatever is up there for letting my child nap this afternoon. Yeah!! I love this top from Anthropologie because I love anything that involves polka dots. I really don't like these shoes very much (they're uncomfortable so I spent 95% of my day at work barefoot), but I can't seem to find any cute red sandals for summer.
Any suggestions?

Top: Anthropologie Celebratory Blouse
Cardi: Target
Skirt: thrifted
Shoes: Target

OOTD: Purple Haze

Sorry for the somewhat crappy quality of these pics, I tried a different angle in the house and there wasn't quite enough light. (Even though you would assume there was with me standing next to a glass door and all, go figure.) I am not trying to be mysterious by looking away in this pic, I had just had a few fillings done at the dentist and my face was swollen on one side from being numb so when I smiled I looked like the joker. (Seriously.) So now you get to see the 'I'm to cool to look at the camera' pose today.

Dress: Target
Cardigan: Steinmart
Belt: American Eagle
Shoes: Madden Girl via TJ Maxx

How adorable are these shoes? A friend called them 'show shoes' today, as in I should be tapping in these babies on the stage. Also, Sydney was fascinated by the little ruffles on them, she kept touching them and saying something that I am going to assume means pretty.

OOTD: It's a Plaid, Plaid World

The Hubby and I had a date today, which for us involves lunch and a movie (Get Him to the Greek, pretty funny). This tunic popped back up on my wish list on Anthropologie the other day so I scooped it up cause I'd been staring at it for a few weeks wishing I had gotten it. Plus, so many other bloggers were making it look adorable, so I caved. I'm glad I did, it was super comfy and cool for the hot weather here in Florida. Plus I can totally see wearing it tucked into a cute skirt or with a sweater in the winter. On a side note, I hate showing my upper arms so I made a sacrifice in the name of fashion today by revealing them to you. I know you feel special now.

Tunic: Anthropologie Caricaturist Tunic
Tank: Old Navy
Leggings: Target
Sandals: Born via Bealls

These sandals are definitely one of my favorite pairs, they go with everything and are comfortable to walk in all day. I also didn't notice that dragonfly chillin' on my foot when I took the picture. I think he's cute, I'm calling him Blue.
