Lusting Over: Coral Wedges

The other day at the mall, Lo and I saw this girl wearing close-toe coral wedge espadrilles, jeans, and a white shirt. I immediately called my mom to alert her that my own and only birthday gift this year should be close-toe coral wedge espadrilles. 

Surprisingly, finding close-toe wedges was really hard to do. And I wanted them to not be too tall that I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them casually during the day like this girl was. Unfortunately, when I finally found the PERFECT wedges the price was slightly out of my poor, poor, end of Spring semester college student budget. 

Solution: Target. These guys are totally affordable --not as cute of a color-- but definitely perfect for a red-white-blue America inspired outfit. Or with a white dress. Or with dark jeans and a white shirt. See? And because of the cheaper price, I won't feel guilty wearing (and therefore ruining them) them out in Syracuse when Summer is over! The possibilities are endless!

Bargain Hunting

Lately, my favorite stores have been TJ Maxx and Marshal's. When I go to the mall, I leave feeling annoyed that they didn't have exactly what I was looking for or that if they did, it cost way more than I can afford. However, TJ Maxx and Marshal's have not let me down. A few months ago, I found a Trina Turk bikini at TJ Maxx, the other day I was on a hunt for an inexpensive computer case, a plastic cup, and cropped tank top, and happened to find all of those things at Marshal's for a total cost of less than $20. But yesterday, Christina and I went and we both found the perfect shoes. Her's were pretty leather midcalf boots for $24.99 and I got a pair of Jack Rogers flats marked down from $198 to $49.99.

 
The best part? These are still being sold at www.jackrogersusa.com for $198.
