After what feels like a VERY long hiatus from the blogging world, I am BACK! With the help of Erin and Kim, I have moved my blog over to a self hosted platform. YAY! There are still some kinks to work out, but I’m am slowly learning my way through all this technical stuff!
What do you think of the new site? I am hoping to add some advertising/sponsor options soon and make the “feel” of the blog a bit less cluttered AND add some custom social media buttons/custom header, etc. Let me know if you have any tips/skills in these areas-I need all the help I can get!
Anyways, I was SO excited to get back and running because this week is the “We Love Target” link up! Since we all know I am a Target bargain shopper, I had a TON of options for today’s link up on tops (honestly, I feel like over 50% of my wardrobe is from Target), but I wanted to showcase an item I haven’t blogged about before so here you go:
Sorry for the blurry photos…not sure why they appear this way! Maybe it’s a self-hosted blogger problem :-)
Shoes: Target (LOVE these!)
Cropped pants: J.Crew Factory
Lace top: Nordstrom Rack | White tank: Target (both are old)
Chambray blazer: Target
Purse: Old Navy (long time ago)
Earrings: Loft Outlet
Quite patriotic right?! (In hindsight, I feel like the blue in the pants and the chambray are too close so I’ll probably pair these separately with other colors not as close on the color wheel! Do you ever have those moments after you see photos of yourself?)
Happy Memorial Day everyone!

I like the chambray with the blue! They don’t look too matchy-matchy in the photos. As for why the photos are blurry, the only thing I can think is that they got resized somehow. Do you save your photos in the size you want them to appear on the blog?
Thanks Erin! I re-sized the photos to 600 x 1500. Not sure if that is too big, making it blurry? (Also, I installed the “Comment Reply Notification” plugin…let me know if you receive my reply via an email!)
Did you resize them in your WordPress dashboard or using a separate photo editor?
I didn’t get your reply via email. Just checked my junk mail folder and it’s not there, either. It might not work with this theme, sadly.
Yay! Congrats on being back!
Weird that the photos are showing up all fuzzy. When you click on them, they are not. Maybe some funny setting in Live Writer?
Your feed is showing up abbreviated in my feed reader (so I have no idea what the post is about unless I click on it).
Thanks!! Yeah, I wrote this post in my WordPress dashboard and didn’t use Live Writer so I’m not sure what’s goin on…I’ll look into the abbreviated post too (thanks for letting me know, by the way- I really appreciate it!) PS- are you getting an email from me on this comment…I installed a Comment Reply Notification plugin but am not sure if it’s working!
Ok…now did you get an email with my comment?! :-)
I got the second shorter comment, but not the first one :)
Hope you figure out the picture thing! I resize all of mine (in Photoshop) before I post, so I have no idea how to work with it in WordPress!
So glad to see your blog reappear! :) Thanks for joining in on our Target challenge! I’ve seen that chambray blazer around–I love how you styled it!

Thanks Whit! I definitely couldn’t pass up a Target challenge…I love me some Tar-jay!
Love the new look. It’s definitely a process to change things. I’m still in the midst of it all. Love your outfit today.
Don’t forget to link up to my weekly Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up. Hope to see you there.

Thanks Agi! Yes, I’m learning as I go…so many options which is nice but also a lot to learn along the way- always a work in progress right?! I’ll be there for your link up too!
I love your new blog format/theme/template. I have also been wanting to learn how to customize my navigation bar at the top and make some customized social media buttons, but I’m kind of a web design idiot, so I may need to hold off for a while, haha.
