Targeted Findings - Budgeted Glam.

Few days ago I stopped in Target Store and with sad disappointment I’ve discover that the store had been hijacked by a huge grocery department squishing clothing department into a very tiny and unwelcoming section, meaning less variety of schmattes would be there to impress or disappoint us.


I picked few items that I found to be at a descent quality in a trendy mainstream, with a styling ideas of glamour on the budget.

Animal print is a huge hit this season. Xhilaration® Juniors Tank Moccasin/Black Animal Print Maxi Dress ($24.99 @Target.com or $17.48 in stores) great to pair it with cargo or denim jacket, huge messenger bag would work great, wear wedges for extra height (Nine West Altan Vintage Amarica Sandals on sale $53.40, Jellypop Women's Cliffs Tan Woven $44.99 @Sears.com) or flats for maximum comfort.

Stripes another major trend. Xhilaration® Juniors Tank Black/White Stripe Maxi Dress is a wonderful way to show-off fashionable you. Wear it with white fitted or denim jacket or just through a Merona® Women's Boatneck Pullover linen/cotton blend in white ($24.99 - great quality, perfect price). Bright accessory would fit here perfect (bright yellow bag @Marshalls $24.99) or white tote from Brooks Brothers ($39.00 on winter sale) Nine West Yarrow Vintage Amarica Sandals (on sale $47.40) or Nine West Blanca Wedges ($99.00) will give you balanced height.

Go International Designer collection. I picked Proenza Schouler for Target® Bustier Dress in Purple ($31.48). I loved it first because it 100% cotton, second it has a great structured fit in great color. Knee length make it suitable for a office attire (just top it with fitted blazer) or a wonderful piece for a summer outdoor reception, don’t forget to put a hat for a stylish statement and sun protection.

Floral Print Cotton Dress. I loved this Mossimo Supply Co. Junior Tie Waist Floral Print Cotton Dress ($17.48 in stores only) great for summer weekend out. Add pop of colors in from of accessories: bags, espadrilles (Nine West Jaxson Vintage America Collection $79.00), hats, bangles.

Be Confident! Be Outstanding! Be Glamorous!

Glamorized basics.

I must confess, I have a strange set of mind. When I see something my brain right away working on finding flaws and on the way how to improve it. I am known to be a transformer. I have a hobby of looking for basic or boring stuff and transform them into something special and unique.

Recently I came across this clutch in Daffy’s. It is quilted which quite highly fashionable now, but have the most ridiculous strap, but with the price $11.99 have a great potential.

Few days ago I was in Banana Republic where bucket of clearance jewelry took my attention. One of the necklaces ($31.99) I found to be interesting and could be used as a new strap for the clutch. An added ribbon bow gives it à la Lanvin finish.

So, if your not into spending tons of money on fancy overpriced designer bags then use them as inspiration, buy the basics and accessories accordingly. Just remember, no money can buy you style.

be Stylish, be Glamorous, be Remarkable!
