This mockneck gray swing dress is great for transitional months when all we want to do is dress for fall but it’s way too warm outside for a hot beverage. You could style is with a pair of ankle booties and a necklace or scarf and add a cargo vest, jean jacket or quilted vest when it gets a bit cooler, along with some fleece lined tights, of course. Madewell makes a gorgeous one at $100. But for 75% less, you can grab one from Target. I tried the Target version on and it is really comfortable Read More
Save vs. Splurge // Quilted Vest
18 I’m a sucker for a good quilted vest. It’s a staple in my wardrobe (and many others that live in the Midwest, I’m guessing.) A plain, classic quilted vest goes well with just about everything, but a fun pattern like plaid is always a festive touch. For solids: I found one nearly identical to the $120 J.Crew version. It’s from Sam’s Club and it’s under $25. I own it in cream (styled here) and it also comes in navy, red and black. It’s made of real down too. For prints/plaids: J.Crew Read More

Save vs. Splurge // Sleeveless Sweater
A sleeveless sweater is something that can be styled over a shirt, which works in cooler weather, or you can wear it on its own when it’s warmer and you want something knit and cozy feeling. Madewell makes a lovely version with a shorter hemline at $78, but good ‘ol Target came to the rescue with a dupe that is under $25. I saw the Target version in the store and the quality looked good to me… Finish off the look with a pair of skinny jeans and a tassel necklace and you’re all set! Read More
