Grey Dog vintage blouse, Target floppy hat, Dolce Vita for Target Wedges, William Rast for Target jeans

Hey hey! Such a beautiful day out today, perfect for lounging around in comfy jeans and a silky blouse (which have quickly become staples in my wardrobe ). I'm not one for spending lots of money on jeans or a fan of the "glitter exploded" detailed designer jeans that cost $200+. I try to stick with brands that are consistent and simple, and unfortunately I haven't been able to find my favorite jeans at Gap. I've always had a tough time finding jeans in my size that are long enough or that fit just right. Much to my surprise, I found these amazing jeans at Target from the William Rast collaboration. They fit like a dream! They were long enough to roll up and I scored them on sale for only $12! I was hesitant at first to try these boot cut ones, since I'm so used to wearing skinny jeans but let me tell ya though...my toosh has never been so happy!
p.s. pictures of my new place coming soon, can't wait to show my thrifty finds

    I am dying for a good silk blouse lately! And those jeans are wonderful. I just got boot cut jeans from Target as well that were on sale and I am loving them. Im so used to mostly wearing skinny jeans, its crazy!

    ! i love that color on youuuu! is that part of the new stuff molly brought in? pretty! i also have a hard time finding jeans, either they are too long, or don't consider the fact that i'm not an anorexic that doesn't have hips, bah. usually find mine at gap, most of the time. can't wait to see pics of your new place!

    The yellow blouse is just so summery and a beautiful colour. I find it hard to get the right size and length in jeans, so when I find some that do fit, I often buy a couple of pairs just incase.

    Your hat is so cute! You're so lucky to have sun, we still have dreary clouds that won't seem to go away.

    Look at you being adorable and such in a bright yellow blouse! It suits you, I imagine that this kind of casual outfit is perfect for summers in Tuscany or something. :)

    And isn't it hard to find a good pair of jeans? I think I only have at least three I wear in rotation.

    Also, did I ever thank you for the Dolce Vita advice? I think I did, but I'm afraid if I didn't, then I'm a jerk. So I'll just thank you again, just in case. :) I actually just ordered a pair of their oxfords from the Target website (but in a half size too small because my size was sold out-- yikes). Fingers crossed!

    Oh where did you get that hat? you could go straightly to Ascot with it.
    The colour of the blouse is amazing. Perfect for this season.
