[Under $50] Desirables at Target
Ever wander through Target and think, "I need something new but what?"
Here's are my answers to that question.
Here's are my answers to that question.
Snag Her Style: Jessica Alba Modesty
Upcoming award season? Fall or winter wedding? Big birthday party? Graduating? This call for a special look and what better stylist than Jessica Alba, who at the recent ALMA Awards flaunted her eye for style without actually flaunting any part of herself.
While it would be nice to own the actual items that Jessica is wearing here, unfortunately they add up to more than a semester of tuition for me.
So instead, try these one for size in much friendlier prices.
Modest Wedding Dresses!
I don't like to fail, but I know that it's an inevitability in life at least once for everyone. If you're lucky and well-minded, you'll see it as an opportunity to succeed better and brighter next time.
One of my failures so far was not fulfilling a reader's request for a modest wedding dress. I looked and looked but it just wasn't meant to be for me. She, thankfully, did find a dress and had a beautiful wedding day. I wish so badly I could have helped in that day.
However, I vow to do better next time and am excited to find Stasia Bridal, a modest bridal couture dress maker. Stasia lets you build your own wedding dress to your long-sleeve needing, back-covered wanting, no-curves desiring bridal desires. This is a great outlet for a modest bride, who wants to look great without flaunting all she's got to all her guests.
Next time readers - your request is my post!

Reader Request: Styling the Anthropologie Minted Terra Skirt
The Anthropologie Minted Terra Skirt saga continues!
I, happily, received a price adjustment from Anthropologie a few weeks ago and continued to champion the beauty and steal of a deal of this skirt. I even wore it to my friend's surprise gender reveal baby shower (btw, it's a boy!).
I think everyone should own this drapey, airy, light-as-a-cloud skirt - which is why when reader Amber emailed me, I jumped to it.
"Hi! I love your blog! I also just [bought] the minted terra maxi skirt from anthro...But I am so lost on how to style it with hijab! Can you do maybe an outfit post? I need help! Lol I told myself if I couldn't figure it out this week I would return it :( xx Amber"
DON'T RETURN IT!
I recommend matching it with a pink, yoke neck or split-neck blouse, slightly tucked in (see right). The one I'm wearing is from Ann Taylor Outlet, and purchased just a few weeks ago on end of summer clearance (for only $17!). For how silky soft and light this skirt is, I chose an equally loose fitting top to maintain that romantic, easy look.
Here area few similarly styled tops I found from around the web. They're mostly under $50, except for the Ann Taylor silk top, which is a heinous $79. (I wouldn't be surprised if it goes on sale soon enough!)
You can also mix up stripes by pairing it with a striped pink top.
Why pink? It's hard to tell in the skirt, but the piping is salmon rose colored, which can be played up through a soft pink blouse. Not into pink (I totally get it and was with you for SO many years!), play up the mint green or light chocolate brown. Even cream, the way that Anthropologie originally styled it, is a great look. Just remember to stick with the airy quality of the skirt and you can't go wrong!

[Under $50] A Quick Target Look
I was recently at Target after a long absence (is it possible to be stocked enough? because if so, I accomplished that) and was FINALLY able to see the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collaboration.
While there's much to say about the 3.1 Phillip Lim line (more on that in a later post!), I did pull together this look quickly. Is black and white the new trend that's coming back? Seems like it. I like this look for a business professional look for the modest working woman.
What do you think of the look?
