Pencil Skirt Obsessed At Target

Somehow I ended up with a pile of pencil skirts in my Target cart. They have a huge selection of bright solids and pretty patterns. I love the look and fit of a pencil skirt paired with a simple blouse and heels. I’m trying to narrow my cart down from these 6 selections, but I’m having a hard time deciding!

As Seen On – The Carrie Diaries

Peplum is such a hot trend right now and since I’m not sporting a big ol baby bump anymore, I’m so ready to try on this style. It’s especially flattering to ladies, like myself, that have a few pounds in the midsection that they’d like to conceal.
I’m loving this ModCloth Up in the Tee Tops peplum top that was featured on CW’s The Carrie Diaries! I especially love how the oh-so-fashionable Carrie Bradshaw paired it with a couple of beaded necklaces. I think this top should definitely be my first attempt at peplum.
Have any of you Sex and the City fans checked out the Carrie Diaries yet?

Kohl’s Grand Opening Sale & A $100 Gift Card Giveaway

There are 9 new Kohl’s stores opening this Spring and to celebrate, Kohl’s invited me to shop the Grand Opening Sale at my local store with a $100 gift card AND they are giving one lucky reader the chance to win a $100 gift card as well!
Kohl’s challenged me to put together a Spring outfit with a $100 gift card to go with something I already have in my closet. I chose my favorite nude flats because they are my go-to shoes all Spring and Summer long. I probably should have diversified my selections, but as usual, I ran straight for the LC by Lauren Conrad collection. My little man was born 11 days ago, so I was worried about finding something that fit and LC did not disappoint. Lauren Conrad’s Spring 2013 collection was full of flowey non-fitted tops and blouses, and a bright green hi-low maxi skirt {elastic waistband, yay}, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

LC Lauren Conrad Pencil Jeans in dark wash regularly $54, on sale for $34.99 and LC Lauren Conrad Dot Pleated Top in Dot Marshmallow {also available in black, purple, red and green} regularly $36, on sale for $19.99.

LC Lauren Conrad Polka-Dot Chambray Henley regularly $44, on sale for $28.60 and LC Lauren Conrad Pencil Jeans in dark wash regularly $54, on sale for $34.99. I LOVE everything about this top – the cut, the fit, the material, the style, and the polka dots.

LC Lauren Conrad Embellished Ruffle Tee regularly $36, on sale for $14.40 and LC Lauren Conrad Hi-Low Chiffon Skirt regularly $58, on sale for $43.50.
This was the winning outfit for me. I didn’t have a baby shower because things were just too hectic around the holidays and then we moved shortly after. Instead we are going to have a “Sip and See” this summer lol. I was hoping that I could find something worthy of a poolside summer baby shower and this outfit was PERFECT! My shopping haul was with a purpose and I accomplished my mission of finding a fun barbeque outfit that’s casual, yet stand out.
With my $100 gift card, I ended up taking home the green skirt, embellished ruffle tee, and the chambray top after saving $55.11! Thank you so much Kohl’s!!!
