Something Old, Something New

Target Finds

Hey guys, I wanted to write this post to piggyback off my last blog post featuring the orchid print sweatshirt from the Altuzarra for Target collection.  I wanted to post pictures taken while in Target's dressing room, as well as pictures from the collection's lookbook.

I only ended up purchasing the black sweatshirt. I didn't think the items in store matched the pictures, mainly regarding fabric quality.  I did, however like the booties that I wore in the pictures, but I put off buying them that day and now I can't find them anywhere.

Here's another look at the one item that I want from the collections that I didn't purchase.  I spied this pair on eBay, wish me luck as I am in a bidding war someone as I type.  Please share your thoughts, I am very interested in hearing them.  Thanks.

Floral Focal Point

Hey guys!! This outfit is the essence of what my style aesthetic is.  It's comfortable and practical (the sweater), with with a hint of vintage prints (the skirt).

Some of you may recognize the black orchid sweater as a one of the capsule pieces from the Altuzarra for Target collection.  I was able to recently purchase it on clearance.  The skirt is old, I got it at my neighborhood Goodwill.

On the Go

There is really nothing that can come between me and this hat.   Since I still work a  corporate job I really don't have much freedom during the week with my wardrobe, but that doesn't say anything about my weekend wear.   I wear this hat every weekend.  It is my all time favorite addendum to my fall wardrobe this year.

Black and white are my go to color combinations this season, and I love to pair it with any pop of color.   My shoes offer a pop of color, while my hat acts as a statement piece.  Burgundy is a color that I have been treating like a neutral this season.  It just seems to work so well with other neutrals.  You should try it.
