7 Days in Target: Days 3 & 4

[Cardigan, Tank, Pants, & Flats - Target]

So... I have to be honest with you.  This is harder than I had thought.  Apparently I don't own a lot of Target professional wear.  So there's that.  That and I'm used to mixing and matching Target pieces with other pieces.  But I'm determined to be able to make cute outfits on a budget!  

Oh, did I mention I hate how I look in dress pants?

So this is not my favorite outfit.  But I'm comfy and professional and keeping up with my deal so there's that, right?

[Blazer, T-Shirt, Skirt, & Flats - Target]

I do like this outfit.  Naturally, I love this skirt and want to wear it daily.  That and I love the blazer.  It was a definite whim purchase (me and an orange blazer... what?!) so whenever I have an outfit where I can wear it, I get super excited.  

Only one more day of Target professional wear and then I get my cute weekend casual.  Hopefully I'll be struggling a little less...

7 Days in Target: Days 1 & 2

I've decided to challenge myself with the ultimate Sarah challenge - can I wear only Target for 7 days.  That means 5 days worth of "business professional" and 2 days of fun.  I love Target, and while I do not think you should solely shop there, I also want to make the point that you can find fashionable outfits that don't break the bank.  So here we go (I will have you note that I take these pictures after work, so yes, I do actually wear these clothes.. and I don't look as good after 9 hours).

Day 1:

[Dress, Tights & Flats - Target; Glasses - Warby Parker]

Okay, Okay, the glasses aren't Target, but I'm blind as a bat, I can't help it.  I think that my roommate's Great Dane, Duke, adds to the pictures.  I think I look incredibly regal, eh?  This dress is a little casual so many times I add a blazer, but I was doing some spring cleaning, so I could pull it off.

Day 2:

[Necklace, Cardigan, Tank Top, Skirt, Tights, Watch & Wedges - Target]

This is a perfect fall outfit, but what I really love about this skirt (besides being long enough to make my employer happy), is that the plaid in the skirt makes the combinations endless.  I've worn brown sweaters, navy blazers, and plum cardigans with this.  I also feel very intelligent and scholastic in this.

[Top - Old Navy; Necklace - Lou Lou's; Skirt - Target; Shoes - DSW]

When I saw this skirt on Margo of Classroom Couture, I knew I needed something similar.  My work BFF was with me when I saw this number and told me it was hideous.  I gave her a "pish posh" and took it to the dressing room anyways.  When I came out, she said it was like a new skirt.  Sure, off the hanger it may look like an ugly 70's upholstered couch, but it definitely gives the color burst that is necessary for this lovely weather.  Plus with all of the colors, the top/shoe/accessory combinations are endless.

Did you ever find an item that took on a transformation when you put it on?
