Target Does It Again

On my second day in LA for LuckyFABB, I made a mistake that you’re likely all-to-familiar with: I went to Target with one item in mind.

A portable phone charger. That’s IT.

This was an easy one to justify (it’s a blog conference — of course I need it!), so I happily made my way to the nearest Target, where I shamefully emerged two hours later with a bag-full of stationery, snacks, a pencil sharpener, this vest, a patterned skirt, God knows what else, and – oh, yeah – that phone charger.

… Target does it again.

Could be worse, right? At least my wallet and I didn’t wander our way back into an Opening Ceremony again.

While in-store (at Target), I met Jaclyn and Becky, two great gals and fellow bloggers with whom I ended up spending the majority of the weekend with (in addition to Ashley, Nikki and Jes).

Post-shopping binge, I ran home, changed and ended up layering my pairings over an ASOS dress that I’d worn the night before. The skirt-over-a-dress ensemble is one of my personal favorite packing secrets – it’s just so simple.

  1. I love that skirt! And you are not alone - every single time I go into Target I leave with armloads of stuff. Half the time I forget what I even went in there for in the first place!

  2. Your print mixing here is on point! As much as I miss frequent Target visits, my bank account is so glad they’re harder to get to in NYC

  3. Target gets me every time. I’m currently on the hunt for that vest you are wearing. KILLER.
    Had such a great time hanging out- let me know if you are ever in Charlotte (or Charleston)

  4. Love this mix! So chic. Also, anytime I go into Target I keep my head down (the best I can without running into anyone) and head straight for the grocery section so I don’t even see what they have in clothes/accessories!

What do you think?
