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!

Dress: Mossimo, $28

Jacket: Xhilaration, $17

Sneakers and Belt are mine

Target Tuesdays: The Sporty Look

Dun, dun, dunnnnnnnn (ok that was the best movie voice that I could do). Every now and again there always seems to be that one person that brings everything back to reality again when I'm thigh deep in my studies. For me, it's my bestie Ashara and boy did she give me a tongue lashing via text when I said "WAIT, who?!" when she mentioned Isabel Marant's sneakers that spiked in popularity amongst celebs this past summer. So I had to back track a few months like where was I over the summer...Europe? Mission trip? In hiding? Well apparently I was in hiding beneath the grad work that fell on top of me and damaged my fashion intuition.

So when I found out that Isabel Marant's shoes were in Target, I just had to whip up an outfit while my sneakers are being shipped to me! Today's Target Tuesday outfit is unapologetic to the winter's mundane colours of dark and depressing hues. Nope, not this girl. I'm all about the pops of colour this time of year, especially since my wardrobe consists of more summer items than winter clothing (go figure, I live in NY and I'm not sure why).

These cute wedge sneakers go perfectly with this bright skirt with a faux leather jacket with knitted sleeves. Patterned tights are always a must with skirts during this time of year and serve as a cute accessory to pull the three knits together with the scarf. Infinity scarf. Layers of knitted scarves can be paired with any outerwear jacket and add an unpredictable element of chic because of the volume it creates around the neckline without worrying about adding a necklace which otherwise would be buried underneath your coat.

I'll be doing a follow up post once I get my new goods in the mail {^_^}
