Unexpected Color Crush {Purple & Yellow}

The following information will perhaps cause you to clutch your pearls, buuuuut… truth be told, I’m not that crazy about the color purple and don’t have much of it in my wardrobe. Now red and blue, I can totally rock with. But I’ve just never been able to muster up much excitement for the color purple (aside from the movie and Broadway musical – the book was a little too heavy for me). In any case, I’m slowly coming around to it – especially when I recently found this gorgeous wool coat for fall. I decided that if I’m going to give purple a shot this season, I may as well go all in and commit with a major wardrobe staple. Once I paired it with yellow accessories (and freakin’ LOVED the way it looked), I knew I was finally coming around to it.

Target came through for ya girl once again in the dress department. In case you didn’t know already, I’m really into this Who What Wear collection (as evidenced here). Today’s dress is yet another beauty that I scooped up during their buy one, get one half off sale a few weeks ago. I’m really digging the bold print and the slight fishtail hem that gives an unexpected touch of drama to this already fabulous frock.

About the Fit:
This dress fits true-to-size without much give or stretch. I’d say it could use a belt for some additional pizzazz, but I wore it as-is for a casual stroll through the park with the family. The material is a substantial cotton that held up extremely well (even with baby spit up)!

Gingham Style {Old Navy Gingham Maxi Dress}

If there’s one print that just screams summer, it’s gingham. As soon as I spotted this dress at Old Navy, I knew I had to have it. It’s so effortless and classic that I just couldn’t resist. I threw it on over the weekend with red accessories for a stroll through the park with the family and felt perfectly cool and put together.

About the Fit:
This maxi dress fits true-to-size and hits just above the ankle on my 5’7″ frame. I tend to like my maxi dresses to almost sweep the floor for a more dramatic look and considered going with a tall. Unfortunately, it was sold out in my size. In any case, this length makes it a cinch to wear with flats, so I’m not too upset. I love that it has adjustable straps and a smocked elastic backing which means a more custom fit and plenty of stretch to accommodate a large bust.
