OOTD- Tucker, But Not For Target

 





Although today we were on the verge of a tornado, yesterday's weather was absolutely perfect. It made me want to put on my fancy new dress. I don't know why but when I buy something new, I like to hold onto it until I come up with the perfect outfit for it instead of wearing it right away. Which camp are you in?

Target is one of my favorite stores and I love the designer collaborations that allow me to afford some level of designer goods in my closet. I've been introduced to some wonderful lines (Alice Temperley, Rogan, Thakoon) and Tucker definitely scored high on the list, but you know the real deal is always just a little bit, let's say, better/more expensive looking/just a bigger step up? A recent Gilt sale allowed me to add this pretty little beauty of a Tucker dress for an absolute steal to join its fellow spring frocks in my closet. It got me so excited that I almost wanted to break the shorts out of hiding, go find a patio outside and enjoy an icy cold frozen drink. But all in due time.

Outfit Detail:
Purple jacket and tan woven belt- H&M
Dress- Tucker
Gold necklace- JewelMint
Tan flats- Zara
Blue/brown handbag- Rebecca Minkoff MAC

  3. LOL!!! That dress is gorgeous, girl! And you're right... the real deal is always a little bit more special. You know they've got to cut corners if they're gonna sale those designer labels for $40.

    ...and I am right there with you on the clothes hoarding. When I buy something new, it usually hangs in the closet until the perfect occasion with the perfect accessories.. perfect shoes... perfect, perfect, perfect. Lol!
