All Patterned up

Shirt: Macys  Skirt: Jason Wu for Target  Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita
           If you think this outfit looks a little familiar you’re right, I wore a very similar outfit here. I wore this outfit to my internship and though I like the look of the outfit I probably should have worn something else that day. I just wasn’t feeling that outfit for that day. That said I do like this outfit, the different patterns make it interesting while the pleats and ruffle detail make it ultra feminine. One of the trends for fall is winter florals, I’m not a huge floral girl but I’m excited to work this skirt into that trend and style it for a colder season.
        How was your labor day? I spent mine with a terrible head cold 🙁 I like fall but, apparently, fall doesn’t like me. I did though take advantage of a few labor day sales. Did you get anything good this labor day?

Taliesin Outfit #2 :Pattern Mixing like a fiend

Top: Trifted Skirt: Jason Wu for Target Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita
        The thirfted striped shirt strikes again! I wore this the last day of our trip. I love the pattern mixing in this outfit. I read awhile ago that stripes and floral prints work well together, so I figured i’d give it a go with this outfit. I really like how it turned out and I think it helps that both patterns are also in the same color family. I wanted something easy and comfortable to wear on the last day of our trip and this worked perfectly. I didn’t feel like doing my hair so I pulled it up into a top knot. I’m not 100% sure about the top knot though, I think if it were back a little more I’d like it more. Anyway I really like this outfit and have another shirt that is also blue and white that I’ll probably pair with this skirt in a future post. Anyway that’s all for now!

Orange-cha glad

Top: Thrifted  Skirt: Jason Wu for Target  Shoes: DSW
      I wore this outfit to go to a belated Mothers’ Day celebration with my mom and grandparents. I like the simplicity of the outfit but I think it would look good with a few accessories too. In the Spring/Summer I have a harder time punching up outfits since layering is not really practical. So I’m gonna try and add more with accessories this season.
       Anyway although I have a few Target/Designer collaborations most are pieces I found while thrifting. I’m not really one to wake up early to get to the collaborations. All the crowds and frenzy just aren’t very appealing to me. But this year when the Jason Wu collection came out I decided to give it a try since I had an old Target gift card from my birthday burning a hole in my pocket. I went in the afternoon the day the collection launched and there wasn’t one piece of the collection left in stores. I suppose I should have gone earlier but I’m not a morning person and designer collections just aren’t enough to get me up in the morning. So I gave up and figured I might be able to find some in a thrift store some time. Cut to a few weeks later when I had a fiery urge to shop and decided to go to Target, since I still had my gift card. To my surprise the Jason Wu collection had been re-stocked and there were still quite a few pieces available. I checked out a few and decided on this skirt. I really like the skirt it has a cute floral pattern and goes well with a variety of shirts. I’ll definitely be remixing this skirt a lot this summer.
