Love those stripes and leopard! It really is amazing to me how positive, energetic, and supportive the blogging world is. Such a great group of people! Thanks for inspiring and sharing with us! :)

Thank YOU for everything you've done to help grow my blog.
Love this outfit.
I'm also really, really grateful for blogging, and how it gives me opportunities to just have fun writing and interact with people I otherwise never would have met!
This is one of my fave looks from you! So cute and stylish!

I love your style!! And shopping at Target makes me happy! It's pretty much impossible to go in for just shampoo, or just a birthday card!! Haha.
Love your blog!

I love that dress and it looks great with your scarf and jacket!
This has to be my favorite outfit! And thank you too, I love reading your blog because it's real, which is refreshing;) You have amazing style, lady--hope it's a great weekend!
Hey Shanna! As always, it's a pleasure to visit with you and discover some new way to wear clothes on a budget. I love your clothes! Your lovely personality. And having a safe place to hang out. Um...I feel really blesses to be part of the blogging community too. I don't have a ton of followers but you ladies are so kind & inspire me to keep pushing myself. :) And to keep believing. You're the best!

Thank you for being so darn cute, funny, and inspiring. We can rock our Old Navy and Target clothes together!
You are one amazing lady and friend. I love how supportive the blogging community is and the people that I've 'met.'
Love the stripes and leopard :) have a great weekend!
Xo,

So darn cute, Shanna!! Thank you for inspiring us all.
what a good post!! and I'm glad I "met" you in the blogging world! blogging has become a huge blessing to me this year!
I mean, could you be cuter?! Seriously! Love this outfit and love you!! Thank you for being so awesome!!
I think the greatest thing I've taken from the blogging community is the acceptance to be myself and the amazing finds. Seriously, you highlighted a store this week that's 20 minutes from my house and I had NO IDEA it existed! And you live in HOUSTON. It's a small, small, small world and I love it.
You look fabulous as always! I am loving the mixed patterns, riding boots and denim jacket!
You are a wonderful blogger and I love reading your posts daily. I also LOVE that you shop at F21, Target and ON! I also love shopping at these stores and can't afford the high-end retailers for my shopping obsession :)
I am so thankful for this crazy blog world and the friends it has brought me, like you!! Can't wait to meet :)
No, Shanna. Thank YOU. :) Adorable outfit. Now I want that dress. And the outfit. I just might.
I'm thankful for all the wonderful friends I've made from blogging! The blogging community is the best! :) Have a great weekend, Shanna!

I don't shop and any of those stores either, so I'm def. sticking around for your great inspiration! : )
Have a great weekend!
Thank you!
Your blog is one of the few I rush to check for updates in the morning.
Shanna, Thank you for keeping it real. Obviously I follow because I like your style, but I anticipate your posts because you shop at the same budget friendly stores that I do!
Thanks for being sassy. I love you!
I am crushing on your outfit!! Who knew...stripes/denim and leopard print!! {Love}
I am thankful for blogging because it has allowed me a creative outlet to just be me. And I've met some fabulous ladies...and I never would have in any other venue. :) Cheers to you my friend!! xoxo
Your blog is so amazing, you are so beautiful, you have great style, and yet you are so humble! This is why we love you! Thank you for being awesome and loving us back ;)
Thank you! for always being so wonderful!!!

Shop with me? And then tell me how to create outfits! lol. Thank YOU for spreading such great fashion. I am seriously void of any fashion sense.
How cute is that outfit? Can you take me shopping and show me how to be that precious?

I am totally planning on wearing my striped dress with a leopard scarf this weekend. It's like you were reading my mind...weird.

What a great combination! I'm always a little hesitant when mixing prints, but I really love this look.
You look amazing! I am wearing my striped dress today, but it is still too warm for a jacket and scarf. :) Can't wait for the weather to cool enough that I can. :)
girl, you styled this to PERFECTION. The blogging world provides me with posts and women like This one and You that inspire me to take what I have and expand on it, to try new things, and on top of all that- have women that encourage and cheer me on when I do so!
It's a crazy amazing thing!

So fabs. Thank you for being a great fashion blogger that respects our need to budget! You keep it real, Shanna! Have a fabulous weekend!! xoxo
I wore my striped target dress with boots Tuesday but never thought to pair it with a denim jacket and scarf! LOVING this idea!
The blog world really is great! So glad you've been blessed by it, sweet lady! :)
i feel a lot of this about blogging - i've become more confident about mixing prints and doing different things! i love your striped dress - and those boots are perfect for fall

This is a great post Shanna! I am right there with you on the budget thing! Thank you for showing me different ways to style the Old Navy pieces we both own!
You are incredible, Shanna! (And this happens to be one of my favorite outfits in you). You are a great friend to me and have always been so supportive!
Loving the stripes with cheetah print scarf! Thank you for always inspiring me to try different things and switch things up when it comes to fashion:)
Thank you for always being real! And who the hell ever said jean jackets aren't cool?!? I have alwaysssss loved them ha ha! Love the scarf with the dress. It's so fun together! Xoxoxo
You have the best style sense and I love seeing what you come up with!
I agree about blogging being so supportive. I never expected that but it's pretty amazing! Hope you have a GREAT weekend :)
LOVE everything about this. The blogging community is such a great support system- makes such a difference in my life. AND I absolutely look to you for fashion inspiration! I like your stores (ON, Target, Forever 21) and that you wear styles I can actually make work in MY budget too. You're the best, Shanna!
LOVE the outfit! So cute and fashion forward! :)
I just looked up the jacket online. I think I need that in my life :)
this is a great outfit and i totally AGREE blogging has encouraged me to take so many style and beauty risks i never would have before. the community and friends you make doing it is just the cherry on top!! as always love following you, and you look adorable and i adore the outfit and mixing of patterns!!

THANK YOU! Thank you for blogging. Thank you for showing me that just because I'm 30-something doesn't mean I'm stuck in jeans and sweatshirts. And thank you for showing me that a super awesome outfit doesn't have to cost $1000. You rock!
Great post, Shanna! Thank you for posting something like this - I totally get caught up sometimes and feel pressure when other bloggers wear only the finest designer merchandise - especially when they're "big" enough that it's all gifted! But thanks for reminding us why we started fashion blogs in the first place! Btw, LOVE this outfit! The leopard scarf with the stripes is adorable - one of my favorite looks so far!
Thank you for being a fashion inspiration!! And you could shop at JCrew...they have really great sales :) and if you still have a student id card of some kind, that gets you discounts :) I love the outfit!!
i just love this look! leopard and stripes always do it for me! I can relate to all of your thank yous as a blogger and you are welcome! :)

Thanks for your ideas!
I have just started reading your blog. Your outfits never look like they come from Old Navy/Forever 21. No matter where I shop, I can't seem to get the cool vibe that you've got going on. So how do you make those outfits ZING? Do you have to keep trying things on to get it just perfect?
Thank you lady for being fabulous! I am catching up on my blog reading, and loving every single one of your post (no surprise there!)
Stripes + leopard is amazing, and you completely rock it!
