“You look like belong in a commune.” Sexy?

It turns out, I don’t know men at all. The following outfits were worn because I thought my husband would like them. I thought they were sexy. Turns out, I do not know what sexy is. Oh, okay I do. But I wanted it to not be tight and revealing. I am a modest girl.

In this outfit, I thought I looked like an innocent milk maid hippie. Which is totally sexy, right? In any case, I love this outfit. I am wearing Anthropologie’s Colima Maxi Skirt in green. It comes in four colors. The striped pattern is not a belt, but part of the skirt. I paired it with an older Anthropologie eyelet top (bought many years ago).

My husband looked at me and said, “You look like you belong in a commune.”

That is all I am going to say about that.

Are you ready for a showdown? I am. “Sexy cowgirl?” My husband shook his head no to that question. Just no. Well, okay. I still wore this outfit. I really liked it. I am wearing a maxi skirt from Anthropologie last year. I scored it for $20. I picked up the top for $15 at Nordstrom Rack. The belt was another clearance find from Anthropologie for $20. The Anthropologie necklace was a steal at $15, originally $58. And the vintage Frye cowboy boots were $50 at the flea Market. Making the outfit head to toe, $120. Not bad for a cowgirl. Giddeyup!

This dress was much more my husband’s taste. It is what I chose to wear when we went and saw Jim Gaffigan on a date night. He was so funny. This is the second time we have seen him live and it was well worth it. The dress was a third cut find from Anthropologie called Mural Maxi dress. Making it approximately 73% off. I just saw a size 10 last week at my store, so I know they are still out there. I also paired it with my Simply Livly necklace.

What have been some fun outfits you have worn lately?

* P.S. my husband is a super nice guy. The sweetest. What he lacks in tact, he makes up for with love. So, please take what he said with a smile. It had me rolling on the ground. Our sense of humor is a bit odd. It was meant to be funny.

Target, Let Me Count The Ways…

I love you! I was recently at Target to browse some items. I was looking for a white cotton dress I could stamp a gnome on. But I wandered into their clearance section and got lost.

I ended up spending $99.92 on three dresses, a denim vest and 2 dog toys.

I had a whole different post ready to run today, but decided to showcase my Target finds. Just in case you want to run out to the clearance section (maybe you have a horse obsession, too?). I bought all of these items this week.

You know I could not resist this dress. When I saw it, I just knew. It was a “Sleepless in Seattle” moment, without the weird stalking. It has horses on it! It was originally $24.99. It was marked down to $17.48. I am wearing a medium. I slipped my favorite $10 tulle slip on underneath it. I also paired it with Anthropologie’s Glasswork Obi belt. This will be super cute with black tights or leggings and boots in the wintertime. Add a colorful cardigan to raise the heat.

This bike dress is the same silhouette. It was also marked down from $24.99 to $17.48. I also paired it with the slip. I am wearing it with a Moroccan belt from a local boutique and vintage Frye cowboy boots. Because, of course, the horse dress should be worn with flats or sandals. And the bicycle dress should be worn with cowboy boots. It goes without saying…

I love whimsical bike prints. However, I will not spend a lot of money on bike prints. They make me feel guilty and kind of like an idiot. Because, you see…I cannot ride a bike. We grew up in the country. And there was really nowhere to learn. I am thinking about getting one of those adult tricycles. That would be fun!

The bike and horse dresses also came in a floral print. I ended up returning this dress, but wanted to show you another pattern it came in. I think this is the link to the dresses online, but they are not showing up on clearance here.

I cannot resist yellow. In fact, I would love to paint our front door yellow. But I have not checked with the home owner’s association. So, for now, I will wear it on my clothes. This eyelet dress was not on sale. But for $24.99, I could not resist it. I purchased a large, because I wanted it roomy. It is breathable cotton and I know it will wear and wash well.

I also knew this modest momma was not going to leave the house without something over it. So, I bought a little denim vest in medium. It was $29.99. I am in love with it! I am wearing this paired with vintage Frye cowboy boots and Anthropologie’s Beaded Stallion Head Necklace.

A squirrel! Oh, yes. They have been on my mind. And a bird! How cute are these dog chews? I bought one for each of our pups. They seem to enjoy them!

Poor things!

Have you found anything fantastic at Target recently? Please share! Also, if you see a plain cotton dress, with sleeves, please let me know! I only wish to spend around $20. I really want to start stampin’ my gnome!

Have a fantastic day!
