Fitting Room Sesh: Target

Although I truly enjoy living in Vermont, I have to admit that I miss having a Target in state. I mean Walmart is great, but it’s no Target.

All these Target collabs kill me, because if I can’t get it online, then I usually can’t get it. However, while I was visiting my parents, I figured I’d try my luck to see if anything from the Peter Pilotto for Target collection was left or made it’s way to clearance…

I was also happy to see that Merona and Mossimo have really stepped up their game!

I ended up not getting anything shown above (and I really wanted those tux inspired pants), but I would have gotten it all, if it had all been my size and I didn’t have bills to pay.

I did end up getting a couple of things…

Redbook’s Real Women Style Awards

On my style page, I mentioned that I had submitted outfits to the Redbook’s Real Women Style Awards. I am SO excited to share that I was selected as one of the 25 semifinalists for America’s best-dressed women…I even made it onto a Redbook promo!

A Week Plus: Leather Skirt

Leather makes me feel like such a badass! I love wearing my moto jacket or (in this case) my faux leather panel skirt. They both add a little edge to my look.

What do you wear when you want to feel a little rebellious?

A Week Plus: Yellow Skirt

Going through my clothes and trying to purge is an emotional roller coaster! Things I haven’t worn in years, become my favorites and things that really just need to be tossed, all of a sudden have indescribable sentimental value.

This yellow skirt was not one of those things. It was in my donate pile and I was ready to part ways with it. That is until I saw this outfit from Chandra of More Modern Modesty come across my Instagram feed. It is so creative and super chic, so I dug through the pile and yanked this right out!

Newly inspired, I came up with a week’s worth more of outfits for it, and yeah, I’m keeping it.

Has anyone ever inspired you to try a new way to style something  you never wear? Would love to hear your story!

A Week Plus: Bold Dress

Not sure if it was obvious or not, but I’ve been trying to do somewhat of a fashion Friday by consistently posting outfits ideas via A Week Plus. That being said, I know I’m a little late, but it’s still Friday somewhere!

This dress was a personal challenge for me, I could only think to wear it with blue shoes. I have two pairs of blue shoes, but I still wanted to try to think more outside the box.

When I really focused on it, I came up with a ton of different ways to wear it and felt silly for limiting myself in the first place.

How would you have styled a dress like this?

A Week Plus: White Tee

This week I wanted style something that I’m sure just about every owns. I also wanted to plug my favorite white t-shirt.

I know that I have mentioned Birchbox in a few posts, and while it remains my favorite box subscription, it is not the only one that I am currently signed up for. I decided to try Giuliana Rancic’s FabFitFun and liked not only the products that came in the box, but the fact that it included vouchers for a few things as well.

One said voucher was for $20 toward Me Undies and being that I wanted to get the most out of my voucher without spending a single cent of my own, I opted to try one of their t-shirts. Great life choice! I’m tiny so I got an XS and the fit was as if it was tailored for me! I should probably invest in at least another one, because, if I could get away with it, I would wear it every single day. And sleep in it…

A Week Plus: Leopard Heels

Ever since high school, and maybe even before that, I have found planning out my outfits for the week to be enjoying and somewhat meditative. Writing ideas down helps me to stay organized when planning, my notes aren’t entirely legible, but they work for me.

A fun fact about me: I LOVE LEOPARD PRINT…leopard any and everything.  When asked what my favorite color is, I would say yellow, but in all honesty it’s leopard print.

All Leopard Everything

The famous Jenna Lyons quote, “As far as I’m concerned, leopard is a neutral,” is an understatement.

So naturally when I wanted, another understatement, to do a second A Week Plus post, I felt I had to incorporate leopard somehow. Given that one of my favorite shoes are Steve Madden leopard print, pony hair heels, I went with it.

A Week Plus: Yellow Blazer

I scored this Banana Republic blazer on Poshmark and although I absolutely adore it, I wish I wore it more often.

After doing a few Instagram photo challenges, I thought about some different ways I could style outfits around my beloved yellow blazer. Using Pinterest for inspiration (because, well, who doesn’t?), I came up with just over a week’s worth of outfits.

This was a lot of fun, and I’m sure I’ll be doing this again! Have something that you’re not entirely sure how to wear? Tell me what it is, and if I have something similar, I’d totally be up for styling it!
