A Tad Bit Nautical

Striped top: Target, White Pants: LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls, Shoes: Old,
Starfish Bracelet: Ebay, Bag: Nine West
I have seen a lot of nautical-inspired outfits lately, like on the lovely blogs Style With Shannon and Pink Peonies.  Well...I don't have $135 to spend on the J. Crew top they are both wearing, but I do really love the look!  I recently bought a pair of white jeans at Kohls (they were on clearance), so I paired them with a navy blue striped shirt and added a starfish bracelet.  Kind of nautical right? Maybe not, but I liked this outfit anyway!

I also got a great deal on the striped shirt...it was on sale at Target for $6 and I had a coupon for $3 off, so the shirt was only $3!  If you have a smart phone you can sign up to have Target coupons sent to your mobile device.  Sometimes they aren't amazing, but sometimes they have good coupons like this!  When I have these coupons I always check the clearance section first.  I usually find something great for cheap, like the cardigan I also scored for $3. 

Have you found any good deals lately?  Where is your favorite place to shop for sale items?

    I love this shirt so I'm going to go look for it! I like to check out this one particular thrift shop which gets some really awesome new stuff and just seems to have a lot of good finds. Otherwise it's Target for basics and Banana Republic for classic pieces I can wear forever.

      I totally agree that you should spend more money on nice, classic pieces that will last and Banana Republic is great! I haven't been able to find a thrift store near me that I love yet.

    Salvation army all the way haha! I love going to mine on saturdays when the whole store is 50% off. Last weekend I got saltwaters sandals for $3.50 and three shirts making my total $8 for the trip. Thrifting can be such a drug! But I also love target clearance! first place I go in the store!

    Love the look! You are brave for wearing white jeans, that's for sure. And I adore that starfish bracelet! Wish it were mine.

      Yay! Rue 21 is hit or miss for me. I feel like I am too old for most of the things in the store, but I have found some great items...like my bright blue pants that I love! I love couponing...I used to coupon all the time for groceries, but it is a lot of work. I need to get back to doing it though, cause it saves so much money :)
