i've been getting a lot of comments and e-mails about people wanting to be added to my blogroll but usually i end up either forgetting or just never getting around to it, so i'm finally going to take action. if you'd like me to link your blog, go ahead and comment on this post with your blog name and address. :)

thursday and friday

rogan for target tee, american apparel skirt, marni shoes
i wore my new marni shoes yesterday just to hang around the house. i didn't have any class that day and i had lots of work piling up that i've been procratinating on, so i spent the day working on homework and studying. it was much too cold outside for this outfit anyway, barely 60 degrees...



forever 21 jacket, rogan for target tee, j brand jeans, doc marten boots
todays outfit. i spent the day downtown and at my sisters apartment (where the photos were taken).

half-yearly sale

sorry for the lack of outfit posts for the last two days. the temperature dropped nearly 30 degrees from monday, so i've just been recycling some old fall/winter outfits. however i did do some shopping at the nordstroms half-yearly sale today. i made a beeline straight to the shoe section where i nearly fainted, shoes for 40% off! i bought two pairs which is probably the biggest purchase i will make all year...

rogan for target romper, payless flats, anthropologie sunglasses, vintage clutch/wallet, vintage belt
the debut of the rogan for target romper!
for those asking about sizing, i suppose it runs true to size but i really suggest trying it on in store. if you have a really long or really short torso, it probably will not fit you or fit strangely.

rogan

on saturday i made my way to target to check out the new GO International collection, this time deisgned by rogan gregory. there are lots of great items in the collection, and i was quite impressed by the quality. an added plus: all the pieces are 'earth friendly', the cotton used is 100% organic.
i ended up only buying three pieces. i actually wanted a couple other pieces, but in the end my wallet dictated how many items i was able to buy.



basic grey tee. it actually has a pretty interesting cut,



dark grey romper with alternating pink and blue buttons and pockets! i actually ended up wearing this today, which i will post picture of soon.



off-white (almost blue-ish?) blazer. it has a leopard print lining that you can kind of see through the fabric, which is really lightweight & great for summer.

american apparel tri-blend tank & pencil skirt, doc marten boots, cynthia rowley bag
i was planning on wearing these boots out this morning, but the minute i stepped out the door i was struck by a wave of hot air. realizing wearing these boots would probably mean red, hot, sweaty feet (ew) after a couple of hours, i promptly ran back inside and traded the boots for some plain black flats. it ended up peaking at about 98 degrees today. way too hot...

also, while checking my daily blog reads this morning after getting dressed, i noticed my outfit bared a resemblane to lulu's outfit on thursday (minus her great accessories). great minds think alike? haha.

dad's old shirt, shorts made from old jeans

this shirt is probably the ugliest shirt i've ever worn/seen. evidence: the checked pattern of mustard yellows, dark greens, light browns, reds and blacks (you really have to see the pattern up close to fully understand its ugliness) and the brown/tan corduroy cuffs and collar. regardless, i kind of love it. i guess it's its ugliness that draws me to it... hm.
