What do you do on a cold and rainy day in June? Head to Target for some retail therapy! On one such recent trip this week, I spotted a few new items worth checking out to liven up your summer wardrobe. For everyday, I'm loving these stripe maxi skirts ($19.99) - the blue stripes remind me of a serape blanket - and for the boho babe, this Mossimo lace-inset maxi skirt ($19.99) looks very Free People but at a fraction of the price. I also loved this crochet-trim halter top ($17.99) as a stylish alternative to basic t-shirts that's just as easy to wear.

I'll never say never to a trend, and right now gauchos are seriously growing on me! Actress Keke Palmer was recently spotted wearing gauchos from Forever 21 at the unveiling of a Jesse Owens mural at an Inglewood, California, elementary school. The funny thing is, I recognized Palmer's pants before I read the press release, having seen them on Jennifer Lopez just a few days earlier (the pop diva wore hers with a black lace top and black ankle-strap pumps). What do both looks have in common? You'd think these celebs paid a fortune for such fashion-forward bottoms, but no, the stars' exact gaucho pants are just $24.90 at Forever21.com. Personally I prefer how Keke styled her pants with a boxy floral crop top and sexy yet understated D'Orsay pumps. Who do you think wore it better?
