Bargain Of The Week: Rodarte for Target Crepe Lace Print Dress

Rodarte for Target Crepe Lace Print Dress in 'Oxford Tan/Black' $34.99

Rodarte for Target Crepe Lace Print Dress in 'Oxford Tan/Black' $34.99

Not-so-real-life-friendly styling aside (which I actually think is kinda cool), this little sheath is comfy, forgiving and versatile. I should know since I fell in love on a quick ’stocking-stuffer’ trip to Target with Z, who I subsequently dragged into the dressing room to his happy squeals of, “Mommy, try it on!” (*blink*) Not only is he the most patient shopper on the planet, he gives great feedback for a five year old dude – no, really.

Long story long, this dress was one of my faves in the Rodarte for Target collection. I wore it to a party on Christmas Eve, with a vintage black Dolce & Gabbana cardigan, black opaque tights, and tan satin Te Casan booties with black leather piping. The best news is that it’s going to be just as cute this summer, sans tights, with flat sandals. And if you’re headed to check out the collection (I know I’m late to the game most of you have already been cut me some slack I have kids whatev) skip the tulle and head straight to the surprisingly decent fitting lace cardigans – if there are any left. For what it’s worth, Z approved of those as well.

(P.S. Although the word ‘Juniors’ is noted in the dress description, this particular dress is generously cut, and I was able to purchase the size I usually wear.)

Bargain Of The Week: Blouson Jersey Dress

Newport News Blouson Jersey Dress in Light Grey $29

Newport News Blouson Jersey Dress in Light Grey $29

This would look stupid cute with tights and over-the-knee boots…unless of course you’re my height, in which case you’d substitute up-to-the-knee (I just made that up) boots…or ankle booties……I think I’m just now realizing how short my legs actually are………I mean this very moment. Huh.

Moving on. I’m also loving textured tights this season; an accessory that’s often overlooked, yet can also work as the focal point of an outfit, especially a simple dress like this. I’m digging this pair from DKNY, and for a pop of color, check out this Smartwool Chevron version in Plum. (P.S. For twenty-nine bucks you can pick up two of these dresses, since it also comes in a deep jewel-toned blue, aptly named ‘Sapphire.’ Go figure.)
