Targeted..














Sweater: Mossimo. Boots: Sam & Libby Paxton. Purse: Bridge Road. Earrings: ahem...also Target.

 Target will be the death of me. I bought this sweater on clearance there yesterday, and the boots today. I was so excited that I put them on in the car and made Tyler take pictures for me immediately. Everything there is just SO GOOD.
I can tell this sweater is going to be worn a lot. It's comfortable enough for every-day wear, but adds a little funkiness to everything with that crazy pattern. The front is thin and silky, while the sleeves are super warm and perfect for the dropping temperatures.
Okay, have to talk about my boots now. They're amazing. The low heel makes them comfortable, the buckles and black faux-leather make them edgy, and I just love them. Five billion stars.
Are you as crazy about Target as I am? I'd love to see your opinions (and links to any posts!) in the comments :)
Thanks for reading!

Autumn Love

H&M top, Forever 21 jeans. Thrifted shoes, Urban Outfitters jacket, thrifted beanie.

One of the things I love most about fall is that there are endless layering possibilities. I usually end up in jeans and a simple top, trusting in my shoes and outerwear to make the statements. These floral, tapestry-style flats are a favorite of mine-- and for $4, a serious bargain. I got the jacket on clearance during my very first Urban Outfitters visit in San Diego this last June. It was originally $99, and I got it for $19! 
You'll find I very rarely buy things new unless they are on sale-- the shirt was $10 on sale at HM, and the jeans were $8 at Forever 21. All together, my entire outfit was under $50!

Hi-Lo & Gold Detail.






(Skirt: Forever 21. Top: thrifted. Necklace: Forever 21. Shoes: PacSun. Bag: vintage.)
Happy Sunday! 
This look has been grandmother-approved, so you know it's good ;)
Mint is such a pretty, versatile color. I was ecstatic to find this top at my thrift store. It has that amazing collar detail that you see on a lot of expensive tops today, but I got it for $2! The only downside is that it doesn't like to tuck into things very well, the ruffly detail tends to poke through. 
I wear a lot of grey and black. Neutrals are just so easy, and sometimes I have to remind myself that it can get boring to wear black every single day. This skirt goes with basically everything, and is very comfortable. Forever 21 is great for cheap basics, and trend pieces (as long as you don't expect them to last you very long). 
This bag is my absolute favorite. Expect to see it feature in a lot of outfits! Hand-tooled leather, and I got it for $10! It's the perfect size to hold wallet, keys and phone. Maybe a lipgloss. But bigger isn't always better!

Burgundy & Lace.






(Top: H&M. Shorts: BeBop. Boots: "City Classified". Necklace: Vintage.)

I finally got a better camera! I am now the proud owner of a Canon Rebel EOS Digital XTi. Photographer credit goes to my wonderful fiance who is very patient and helpful.

These lace shorts may be my new favorite piece for this 'summer'. I say 'summer' because today it's supposed to be 90 degrees and sunny and instead it's been thunder, lightning and rain.
ANYWAY. The shorts are super comfortable, flattering, and they're just the right mix of sweet and sassy! I could also go on for pages about my tan ankle booties. They have a chunky heel that, for a flats/sneakers girl like me, was a little hard to get used to. But ultimately, they're perfect. 

You may notice that I've watermarked all my pictures! I highly recommend doing so to anyone who runs a fashion blog. Some people are determined to not give credit where it is due, and this is just one little way of deterring them.
Thank you for reading, please feel free to leave feedback in the comments, and don't be afraid to ask me to check out your blog! I'm just getting started here at Corinne's-Closet and I'd love to see your work!
