Target Tuesdays: Oui, Oxfords!


Oui, Oxfords!

Oui, Oxfords! Translation? “Yes to Cute Shoes!”

A traditional twist on a classical shoe, I love these vibrant oxfords for three reasons!
1. They're Trendy
2. Super Comfortable
3. Very Versatile

Nothing is better than investing in a flat pair of shoes that can give your look an overall pop of colour and texture. They are also versatile enough to wear with a slimmer fitting jean, skirt or dress with equally vibrant stockings for a preppy look. Patterned, printed, sparkly, or plain, these inexpensive options all under $20 bucks can be incorporated easily into your current wardrobe.

Welcome to Target Tuesday 2013!

Why, hello my little Targettes! 

When I say ‘Target’ you say ‘Tuesday’….TARGET! {Tuesday!} TARGET! {Tuesday!}. Nothing like a good cyber call and response mantra to get us up and going. It kinda reminds me of when Tim Allen use to scream ‘It’s Tool Time!’ from the popular 90s show. *Gasps* Speaking of which, the influences from that decade, are trending right back into today’s Target Tuesday outfit. But before we get to it, there are a few ground rules moving forward: 

#1: For those of you who are new to this blog, read my original posts about how this all got started here OR go to the tabs to catch up on your favourite looks. You’ll find that I started “TT” not only because I’m a visual learner, but I use to work a Visual Display manager and understand the importance of presenting looks. I take the guess work out of styling my latest finds while incorporating my own pieces! 

#2: This year, I will be noting the fit of the clothing as well as how to style your wardrobe. What makes you qualified to do this you may ask?! While studying at FIT, I concentrated on product development and formerly worked as a fit model after completing my degree, so I know a wee bit about the importance of close that fit! 

#3: Expect more relevant featured outfits that are trending on the streets and runway. Not everyone has a Zara’s or H&M nearby so here’s to making fashionable, chic, people across the land.

Anddddd, we’re back… 
Get the Look

Today’s Target Tuesday outfit has been inspired by the recent release of British Vogue’s A-Z top 2013 trends for spring and summer. Yup I said it, SPRING and SUMMER even with the white stuff still lingering on the ground. 

“K” is for kicks! features models sporting sneakers with delicate spring dresses with an athletic appeal on the runways. This double breasted jacket has an amazing fit and the ruffles around the side and back add to the playfulness and versatility of it to be worn with a dress or with a slim fitting pant. Coupled with a sheer neon slip dress and a muted grey jacket is a perfect combination of femininity and street chic!

Today another year was added to my age like another notch onto my favorite belt. Yikes I'm like three scores and...wait...plus 1...no that's not right because three scores is three times twenty which would equal sixty and I'm definitely not sixty yet. Ok forget it, I never claimed to be a mathematician but one thing I know for sure is that today I am 31 and even though I may look the reciprocal of that number, I can assure you that I have the papers to back it up. I'm not sure who ever started this 'women never tell their age' secret business but I'm a firm believer that there truly isn't anything to be embarrassed about when I reflect on the blessings afforded me. I always find myself more so reflecting on my birthday rather than celebrating which sometimes causes me to retreat into my skin, but not today. Because today, I am TRULY grateful for my health, family, and those who have supported me through this blog. For those who read it without skipping pass the pics kudos to ya! Special thank you to my hubster Lucas for always taking my pictures and being ever so patient (he also was the one who prompted me to blog in the first place). Maybe one day this blogger love bug hobby of mine will flourish into a fruitful opportunity. It's my birthday, a girl can wish, right?

One more tidbit-after I graduate in a few months, I will be focusing on another one of my bucket items off of my list (the first two were acquiring my masters and learning ASL) I will be devoting my time to...(drum roll please) becoming a dancer! I'm talking about one of those hot flamingo dancers with the legs that go on for miles in those ruffled dresses. Yup, like Vanessa Williams in Dance with Me hot. I figure 9 years from now when I'm 40 I'll be amazing {^_^}
