WOW, that Visa gift card and four Target gift cards really paid off! Iām sorry I didnāt link to a lot of thingsāthey were either sold out, or I just couldnāt find them online!
Letās start our chat with the plant tank top because it makes me so happy! It was such a random findāTimmi and I spotted it in a co-op two blocks from my therapistās office! I very much associate plants with Timmi (peep her IG to see why!), so itās really the perfect thing to remind me of her. Actually, all of the things I bought when she was here make me smile and have been great reminders of how much fun we had. She actually bought the bracelets for me because I had to sprint off to therapy! And she likes to play with gender constructs in fashion, so she urged me to go out of my comfort zone and explore the boysā and menās sections at Old Navy, leading me to the satellite t-shirt! (As we saw with that lunar tank top last month, Iām really into a space vibe these days!) š
As you might have seen on my Insta Stories this past weekend, I went HAM with four of my Target gift cards! Iāve been looking for olive pants foreverrr, so I was pumped to finally find a pair that were the right color and fit pretty well! (I feel like I must have weird proportions because pants are often snug in the legs and kind of loose in the waist? Is this a typical thing?) I kept on this green theme with my new cardigan too. Almost all of my cardigans are grey or blackāI needed some color! And the sweatshirt is super-soft and a little bit bat-wingy (surely a technical term), which is a look that Iām into (š¤·š¼āāļø) and makes it a little different from my other sweatshirts.
Lastly, I had been on a quest to get new shorts this summer but only found one pair I liked... until those fall sales started! š I found both pairs of shorts above on my shopping trip for a wedding dress and shoes that was otherwise a bustāwhich is why I ended up buying the Payless shoes. I think they could work with any of the dresses I currently have, and itās seeming likely that Iām just going to wear one of those to the wedding. Plus, $10 is about all I ever want to spend on dress-up shoes, haha!
Did you find anything fun this month?
