Dressing Room Diaries (September)

Hi, friends! I've got a bit of a different post for you today…..the start of something new. I hope to do this 1x per month. I adore fashion that doesn't break the budget!

Each month I'll bring you my favorites from the comforts of home or from the actual store dressing room. This month I went to Target. I haven't been there in years. I was so impressed with the quality and the pricing. I'll definitely be back. Below you'll find my Target finds as well as a few more that are budget friendly. 

I will be 51 in December. I finally found a plan that has taught me how to eat right and have lost weight. It's definitely a lifestyle plan. I've lost 14 pounds and feel great……..no shakes, drinks, pills or special foods. You can read about it here. 

I am typically a small or medium in tops and size 8 in bottoms. I am 5-6. 

If you are on Instagram, you can go check out my story Target highlights. There is actual video footage showing the items in the dressing room.

Lace Detail Top | Pull On Denim (I size up) | Similar Sandals

The top is from Amazon. I've been eying it since the spring. I finally caved and ordered it in a size medium. It's a nice loose fit without being overly boxy. It comes in several colors including long sleeved options. I am so in love with it. As the weather cools, I'll throw on a cardigan or denim jacket. 

Fit Details:

Top – medium

Pull on Denim- I usually order up in Spanx to a large because I just can't stand suck you in tight, but adore Spanx! Spanx is so worth the extra cost. It lasts forever. I ordered these in a large back before losing some weight. I regret the large in these. I can still totally wear them, but they are a bit too loose in the legs, but again that's not a bad thing. They were a bit lose before losing weight so I should have bought my usual medium. I may end up selling these on Poshmark and ordering the medium. 

I just adore the vintage details! I also have worn this with my leopard flats. 

Basic T-shirt in Medium | Similar Motto Leggings | Similar Leopard Slip-On Sneakers | Bracelets

This t-shirt from Walmart is perfect! I'm wearing a medium. It's NOT fitted which I like. It's got a nice rounded v-neck which isn't low cut.  I've had the motto leggings from Jane for a couple of years now. They are pull on style with a wide elastic waistband. Comfy running errands look! I picked up my leopard sneakers at Marshalls, but linked similar above. 

Fit Details:

T-shirt- size medium

Jane Motto Leggings – medium

Knit Tunic T-shirt | Pull on Denim (same as in first photo) | Similar Necklace | Bootie  | Rug | Similar Hello Mat | Similar Urns and HERE | Boxwood Faux Topiary | Similar Lanterns | Outdoor Faux Candles

This is my favorite Amazon fashion find to date I think. It sells out all the time. If your size and color is sold out, just click the button that says they will notify you when available. I am wearing a medium. It's a relaxed fit, but still gives you a shape. It comes in several colors and leggings appropriate. It's also a great layering piece for jackets and cardigans. 

Fit Details:

Tunic Top – size medium

Pull on Denim – large

Velour Sweater | Dark Denim Jeggings | Carmel Colored Flats | Leopard Belt

I can't wait for the cooler weather to roll in for fall. This sweater is so cozy and comfy!!! I love the length in that it's a bit different that I normally get. I tucked it in a bit in the front to show the leopard belt.  The shoes are Amazon brand. They are touch wide on me, but i just added an insert in the front which helped. For under $20 they are comfy! The jeans are a stretchy jegging. I've worn them all day and they do not lose their shape. They are a bit higher so you can bend over without showing anything! They have belt loops and a zipper! I could have also worn a medium in the sweater if I wanted a looser look or longer length. This outfit went home with me! The jeans were on sale for $22!!!

Fit Details:

Sweater – medium

jeggings – size 8 

flats- I ordered 1/2 size up for length based off of reviews. They were a bit wide, but corrected with an insert in the front. Love them!

Velour Cardigan | Jeans | Long Sleeve White T-shirt | Leopard Belt | Flats

This is a Levi's brand at Target in the jeans and I love them. They have slight distressing down the front which is slimming. They are true to size and not the dreaded low waist! The long-sleeved t-shirt is comfy and a bit more fitted. It's a little thin on its own, but perfect with a sweater or vest for fall. It's the perfect weight for layering. The sweater in a medium is too big. If they had it in a small, it would have gone home with me!   It's just so cozy. The color is a wonderful orangey rose. 

Fit Details:

Cardigan- medium was too large….needed a small

Jeans – size 8

t-shirt – size medium

Long Cardigan | t-shirt | Jeans | Leopard Belt | Flats

Same outfit as above, but with a different sweater. I am wearing the small and it's perfect. I am in love with oranges for fall!

Long Cardigan | Leggings | Turtleneck | Flats

This is the same cardigan as above, but with leggings! Leggings are a staple for me in the fall and winter!

Fit Details:

Long sweater – small

turtleneck – medium

leggings – medium

 

Turtleneck | Leggings | Flats

Now, I would never wear this look on its own. These are 2 staples that are great for cooler months. This look can be paired with a cardigan, vest, jacket or open front blouse. All shoes would work as well depending on the look you are after. 

Fit Details:

Leggings – medium

turtleneck – medium

Leggings | Pancho | t-shirt

This pancho is so comfy and is one size! It's the perfect length for leggings. It would also look fabulous with the all black look above and a cute bootie. 

It's lightweight and not too bulky.

Leopard Coat | Leggings | Turtleneck | Flats

I am totally obsessed with all things animal print. This jacket is so fabulous. It's not a coat for warmth. It's more of a fashion piece, but here in the south….it will be just fine! Dressed up or down, I am going to get so much wear out of it!!! Fit Details:

Jacket- small

 

Have a wonderful weekend!
