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.


-My life is still messy from my recent move. I haven't been able to fully unpack because I didn't have any rods in my closet. I'm hoping the tension rods I bought work, because I'm tired of tripping over boxes of dresses. The box with my shoes? It's still sitting in the back of my car. I'm hoping this weekend will be calmer than the last, so I can get a whole bunch of stuff done and relax a bit.
