I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to outfit inspirations. I like to look at from time to time to see if there's a look that would make a good post. A majority of these outfits are straight style, so when it comes to finding similar items, sometimes I'm out of luck. I tried to find a pleat navy skirt and couldn't find anything, except school uniform skirt.
Looking at the outfit above, it looks simple enough. Navy skirt, red cable knit sweater with booties. But take a closer look at it. What makes it really stand out? It's the details: the knit of the sweater, the shape of the skirt. That's what makes this so much more than just a navy pencil skirt and the first red sweater out of the closet. I thought it shouldn't be too hard to find a red cable knit sweater and a navy blue skirt that had either volume or a tulip shape to it. I had trouble finding either of those two items.
This is just a nice casual outfit, but when you add in the details like the belt, booties with bows on them, and a skirt with some movement and shape, it really elevates the look.
-Target is releasing a new plus size line called AVA & VIV. Target released a teaser video with several well-known plus size bloggers talking about the line. From the bit I saw in the video, I'm not impressed. It looks like stuff already being sold by the likes of Eloquii and looks to be more stuff I can't wear to work. The line will be carried in stores and online.
Honestly that's what I really dislike about Target's plus-sized collection - so much of it is not entirely appropriate for work, and certainly not on par with the more classic, tailored styles that can be found in "straight" sizes. Mind you that's my complaint with a lot of plus sized offerings.
ReplyDeleteHad Target simply released their straight size Merona line in plus sizes, I would buy the hell out of it. It's work appropriate, and had really nice casual things. But sadly, we're just getting more crop tops which is precisely what we don't need.
