You be my glass of wine, I'll be your shot of whiskey



What I'm wearing:
*Thakoon for Target Printed Dress
*anthropologie Double Torsade Necklace (similar here)
*Gap Over the Knee Cable Knit Socks (similar here)
*Bandolino Black Patent Flats (similar here)
*Mulberry Alexa Bag in Oak

Lately I've been trying to satisfy my champagne tastes on a beer budget. What better way to do this than with a Target designer collaboration? With the re-release of some old favorites (some that I have already picked up, you can see them here and here), you can look great for less, which is always a plus in my book. I'm always on the lookout for dresses with sleeves (who wants to deal with pesky layering sometimes) and I love the pleats on this one. The full skirt makes me feel a bit like a Mad Men era housewife, but I love that the print is modern. My double strand necklace can be my alternative to the stereotypical pearl


There have been hints of spring in the air, but it's still not quite warm to go completely bare legged. But I didn't feel like tights, and I really hate wearing pants, so I donned a pair of over the knee socks today. Even though its probably not warm enough for these either, I just could not make myself pull on another pair of tights. Warm weather, when are you getting here?

  1. I am so over tights as well - I should probably invest in some over the knee socks to get me through to the warm weather! And I'm definitely going to have to be on the lookout for this Thakoon dress - it looks great on!

  9. Love that dress it has such a great print. And I totally agree with the sleeves, sometimes it's so nice to not have to wear a cardi.

  10. You poor thing--I HATE cold weather, (and consider anything under 70 cold!). Such a cute look!

    How is NYC treating you, and, do you think you will stay there long-term?

  13. I love this! But I feel like the socks chop you in half. Maybe pull the socks higher up to your thighs or have them right under your knees. It's still a great outfit, but its just where the socks hit you..xoxo
