For my 9/11 experience, please refer back to this post. Never, ever forget...
I was recently awarded a $40 Target gift card for a "job well done" on a work project and I think I've set a new personal record for how long I've had it. Unbelievably, it's been three whole weeks and it's still in my wallet! I will be spending it soon, however, as I need to make a few updates to my fall wardrobe and have found plenty of things to use it on.
Such as...
The Kaley Tall Cuffed Boot in Gray from Mossimo at $34.99
I heart these boots so darn much. I haven't seen them in person yet, but I really hope they look as pretty as they do online. The only trouble I have with tall boots is that I have skinny legs. Hence, it's hard to find a boot that's not too loose around the calves. My fingers are crossed for these.
The Kady Boot in Cognac from Mossimo at $34.99
Have you noticed that I'm on a boot kick? I love the color of these and think they would look sensational over a pair of skinny jeans. I also plan on checking these out in person to evaluate the fit and quality. And you know what's great about both pair of boots? They qualify for the Buy One, Get One ½ Off deal at Target.com currently. Not to mention if you spend $50, you get free shipping. I could get both pairs for just $52.50 with free shipping, making my total cost in reality only $12.50. Woo-hoo!
Cuckoo Clock Ring from Anna Sheffield for Target at $29.99
If I were being completely impractical with my gift card, I would so buy this ring. Can you imagine me in my dirndl at Oktoberfest with this on my finger? So whimsical and cute!
The Military Trench Jacket in White from Merona at $39.99
Take a little peek in my coat closet and you'll know that I harbor a deep love for trench coats. I own one in black & white polka dots, in navy, in pink and in khaki. But don't you just adore the details on this one? I can't justify spending my precious gift card on this since I already own four, but won't someone please buy this for themselves? It's too cute to pass up.
The Striped Cowl Sweater Dress in Gray/Black at $24.99
Now that I've spent more time out of college than I actually spent in college, I've been a little more aware of things like hemlines and necklines. This sweater dress seems a bit short, but I'm hoping it just appears that way because I'm sure the model is at least 5'9". Surely this 5'3" soon-to-be 28 year old (10 more days!) can pull this off without looking too smutty, right?
P.S. Those boots on the model? Also going on my list!
