While at Target the other day, I noticed rows upon rows of clearance racks in the women’s clothing department. That is very dangerous for me. I usually steer clear of that department, because there are too many cute things to tempt me, but I had to take a look to see if there were any screaming deals.
We’re on scrimp and save mode, so I do feel a bit guilty about buying clothes that I don’t need. But this top was $4.50. And the print was just too cute. So now I won’t buy any more clothes until after we move into our new house.
The top was a simple crop in XXL. It was more than a bit too wide, but at the perfect length for a longish crop. It hits right at the top of my jeans. BUT, the back was somehow shorter than the front. How was this?
I added a black block of accordion pleated jersey in the back. This lenghtened the back hem by 3 1/2 inches. So I can comfortably wear this top without my guts showing in the front or the back.
I also pinned a little gathering (true late 80s style) with a yellow heart earring that I have. Earrings make pretty great pins, did you know that?
Outfit Details:
- top: target + thrifted
- necklace: handmade
- pants: Pac Sun

you are too cool, lady. i couldn’t pull this outfit off but you look totally awesome. :)
YES earrings do make great pins! I am dismayed by the super short shirt hemlines this season. I ordered two adorable shirts from forever21 and they were soooo short. They will only work with high waist shorts or something.
You’re moving?! YAY!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!
the shirt looked good before but now it looks great! Bravo on a job well done!
continually amazed by your sewing genius.
Such a fun look:)
[…] finally got around to altering the second of two shirts I scored for $5 at Target last month. I wanted to complete this before leaving for San Francisco, so having a bit of a deadline for the […]
Wow! You are looking beautiful.I love to wear shorts with crop tops. These are my favourite outfits. Thanks for sharing.
