Target clearance outfit

But we all know we’re not capable of going to Target for just the one thing we went in for. So I stopped by the clearance rack in my department and came out with a complete outfit-head to toe! I paired it with some accessories I already had and here’s the finished product:

…or without the cardigan:

Here’s the thing about shopping in an unorthodox manner such as on clearance racks, or at Goodwill- you usually find stuff that you would normally pass by if it were at full price. This skirt is not my normal style. I am not a flower girl. At all. (Before my husband and I sort of shot-gunned to the Caribbean, my wedding bouquet was going to be herbs and greenery. Seriously.) But with such a small amount of inventory at a really low price, you kinda look at things differently and end up with really unique pieces. I end up trying things on that ‘aren’t me’ and see that I actually love them. You know what they say, ‘you never know until you try it on…’ It’s a lot of fun!! I sort of feel like I’m on a game show every time I shop.

The shirt is a cropped style but was just a bit too long for the high waisted skirt so I tucked it in. I considered a belt but with the busy skirt pattern, that would have made it a little complicated I think. If I didn’t tuck in the shirt, bringing it down past my waistline, my waist would have looked wider:

 

The skirt is already at my most narrow area, so I wanted to keep the eye line there. (You always want to play to your strongest points!)
