you feel like paradise

pardon the brief interruption to the 30 for 30 outfits today as i am posting something for the everybody, everywear festivities. i didn't really get out of the house much today anyway (except to run errands and i my outfit wasn't all that interesting).

i wore this outfit to work sometime last week. i was on a mission to wear stuff i knew i wasn't going to include in my 30 for 30 before the challenge started - the skirt and the cardi in this case. the black lace top *almost* made it into my 30,  but i ended up cutting it in favor of a third dress.

(yes, i thought this skirt required some twirling action).

cardi: old navy. top: h&m. tank: old navy. skirt: old navy. tights: target. boots: target. belt: forever 21. necklace: forever 21.

this outfit might as well be called the "look what i found on clearance at old navy" outfit because half the stuff i'm wearing here is stuff i found on clearance at old navy. the cardi (which is a tan stripe, i know it's a tad hard to see because it's pretty subtle) was something like $8, the skirt $4, and the tank i wore under the lace top (it NEEDED something under it) was $3.i really love the skirt, though - i love the orange, and the fun ruffles!

i've been loving the lace trend but i haven't actually incorporated much lace into my wardrobe because this is apparently the only lace item i own. shocking, i know! i may have to break my "no shopping during 30 for 30" rule and buy myself some lace!!

i am having a reeeeaaaallly hard time fighting the urge NOT to go shopping anyhow. i blame it on the fact that it's payday on friday and i haven't gone shopping in a while since i used up all my monies to replace my laptop when my old one died last month.
