Winter Shorts: Attempts 1 and 2

So, I've tried wearing my $24.99 H&M winter shorts twice now. The first time, I wasn't brave enough to venture out wearing them. The second time, I managed to wear them to a small gathering at a friend's house. 

Where: Playing "dress up" in the privacy of my own home

What: Potential casual night out outfit

The other components: black tights (Target), black Dolce Vita booties (now marked down to about $125), white Target tee, random black/white/grey slouchy sweater from Ross.

Where: Friend's place in Smyrna

What: Football-watching, casual "night-in" (cheering for Dan's team, the Cowboys)

The other components: argyle tights (Dillard's), grey slouch boots (from Steinmart, via my lovely friend Kate!), black elastic art deco belt (Salvation Army), H&M black tank, brown short sleeve cardi from Target

I must admit that wearing these shorts is a little stressful! I'm not usually one to wear shorts (even in the summer), nor show a lot of skin in no matter what I'm wearing. I think I'll feel more confident if I wear them with opaque black tights next time.

Recommended Buy: Layerable Tees from Target

Summers and falls in Atlanta are great T-shirt weather. Layer 'em, pair 'em with jeans, wear 'em over swimsuits or dress 'em up tucked into flowy skirts.

Right now I'm digging these deep V-neck tops from Target, available in most colors of the rainbow for $8. I love the layerability (new word?), the touchably-soft cotton and the tiny pockets. 

In my closet: heather grey and coral. Next up: lime and baby blue.

Versatile Target Tunic Top

Digging this Mossimo tunic-style top from Target. 

Get it here. Also in black and coral.

Rainbow cropped leggings and 

Ross faux patent leather sandals

I returned something to Target Wednesday night and got a store credit in return. What's a girl to do? Buy laundry detergent, deodorant, milk, toothpaste, etc.? Hell no. Check out the women's clothing department, of course. 

I snagged this grey tunic-style top from Target (Mossimo) for $21.99. I'm quite excited about it, actually. I'm thinking this could go over a swimsuit, pair of jeans, mini skirt or leggings (like I did today). The rest of my clothes were shopped from my closet: Target tank top, Target necklace, Rainbow leggings (yes ladies, I said "Rainbow") and Ross shoes ($10.99). Who says you have to spend a lot of money to wear something fun?

Anna, thank you for this fab necklace you gifted me with a few Christmases back. It's perfect.
