Guess what my ingenious self put on to run to Target yesterday? Oh yes, the infamous Target dress. Because that makes total sense and isn't awkward at all. I love when you enter a store and you look like you stepped straight out of their latest catalogue. Loooooooove it.
Even though I have about a million and two of them in my closet, I've came to the realization that wearing just a feminine dress has became a bit of a foreign concept to me (proof? The last time I did it was February 19). I wore this same dress about two weeks ago, but I've got pants and hiker boots on. I wore a maxi dress earlier this week, but I threw on a plaid shirt and Converse along with it. Conclusion? I've got two of them. #1, downright femininity scares the shizz out of me, and #2, wearing just a dress and heels seems so simple these days, so I tend to avoid it. That psychology minor sure does come in handy.
And, I've gotta give credit where credit is due: Kellie inspired me to wear this dress with teal accessories, because that's what she did and it looked pretty bomb. Let's all say thank you, Kellie! We love you, Kellie! Woooooo!
Have a great Easter weekend, y'all! Do you do anything to celebrate?

Soo gorgeous!!! I know what you mean...I don't usually wear pretty dresses on their own...I throw something else over them..haha..but since summer is coming it will be easier and I'll have to wear them alone ;)

I also love it when you realize that your entire outfit is from one store. Granted it's usually from different seasons, but still.
ReplyDeleteI adore this dress on you! The color, the print, the cut. Perfect! And I love the magenta/teal combination.
ahh, I love this Ashley! You look totally girly but your heels are still edgy and cool. Your teal accessories look fabulous, thank you for the sweet shoutout!
ReplyDeleteYou look fab! Dress id really feminine & really beautiful! And the sunnies are great too! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous! And that last shot of you is stunning! You are so photogenic. I cannot wait to go to Target when I go to Phoenix next month! It's ridiculous how excited I am.
ReplyDeleteI love how simply you styled this dress! Really, I've seen this dress everywhere and this is the first time I've understood why everyone likes it! Hehe Glad you went for the simple and feminine. Your shoes are to die for! (Like all your shoes are!)
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your comment!! it was so sweet!
ReplyDeletei love what you do.. wearing few pieces in different ways! i think this lady like style does look good on you even though you say you think is too simple!! xx i also love the color of ur bag!

Loving the teal with this dress
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about just wearing a pretty dress. I feel like I need to "do" something to enhance it. I think I need to sometimes just remember less can be more
So glad you are not going to be eaten by a bear anytime soon!
I have a friend that absolutely will not go into a store if she is wearing anything that was bought there. lol
I love these sunnies on you!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! :)
GORgeous. Simply gorgeous. I love this look on you. From head to toe. I can't get over how stunning you look. Love you.
ReplyDeleteI ordered this dress finally after almost getting it a million times. But after seeing it on you the other day, I ordered it.
When I finally wear it, I will be giving you full credit!
Have a fabulous weekend, darling.
Tracy

youre so pretty and the dress looks amazing on you :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous :) Love the shoes and the earrings especially.
ReplyDeleteThat's the blog talking, saying everything must be accessorized, yadda yadda. Especially as it gets to be summer, I like dresses on their own. But I expect the blog will make me invest in some hats or something. Anway, it's a pretty spectacular dress!
ReplyDeletefabulous dress!

Steffys Pros and Cons
you have got great style and you should give your photographer a big kiss because of the gteat job they're doing.
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful in this dress- the second photo of you is stunning (whenever I smile without teeth I look a bit crazy/snobby). I'm surprised Target didn't recruit you to model for their catalogue! Have a great Easter weekend!
ReplyDeletelove the print on this dress and it fits you so well. I have walked into Target a few times and realized that the top or dress whatever I am wearing is situated right on the clothing rack next to me, awkward
ReplyDeletelooks like it's feather earrings day. i've got a pair on in my post too and they just so happen to also be urban outfitters. they make the best feather accessories. sweet clutch too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - the turquoise with the colour of you dress look amazing together! xx

You look utterly gorgeous in this. The colour looks amazing on you and perfect with the teal. Love the psychoanalysis too. :-)
ReplyDeletepretty print
ReplyDeletemaybe you never go for super feminine because you already have super feminine looks, and a bit of a rough, casual edge amplifies your babe appeal? I don't know, I just love everything you do! :D
ReplyDeleteI adore this dress..and the sunnies look awesome on you....very ladylike indeed:) Cmon now...YOU are a walking advertisement....Target should pay you!
ReplyDeleteThe teal accessories are so perfect with that dress! And once again, your hair is pretty much amazing. Just in case you didn't know :)
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit! Cute blog.

Buried in your humor is an important, valuable insight (the one about being scared of femininity). Almost everyone is scared of some aspect of gender-expectations: some of being too feminine, some of being insufficiently feminine, etc. This merely points to the fact that social expectations of gender are heavily freighted. One can write a book about this topic. Perhaps I will...
ReplyDeleteOh! This is a fashion-blog. Sorry! I love your shoes, sweetie...
You look beautiful! Amazing colors!:)
ReplyDeleteI totally love the pattern of the dress...great post hun!
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment...
ps. I would like to invite you to my first giveaway!

What a dress. You look incredible!
ReplyDeleteEvery time i see that dress now i wish i'd gotten it...
ReplyDeleteI think you do lady like really well, even better than you do hiker boots, so i think you need to embrace your heels again (and you've got SO MANY good ones!)
Chic on the Cheap
Thanks for the warm wishes for my store :) love the dress and cant believe its from target!
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks great on you! Wear more, all a million and two of them ;) These photos are great - I kind of like the juxtaposition of your brightly patterned dress and the neutral bg.

Though I've seen this dress on other bloggers, it never fails to make an impact. As it does here. And the genius touch are the teal accessories of course.
ReplyDeleteFirstly I absolutely love the song 'lady in red' and now you have it stuck in my head. Gorgeous outfit lady, the dress is stunning. Been browsing through the posts I miss, I absolutely love the outfit titled 'dumpster cool' the dress and converse works so well together!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely Easter!

♥Nice post.) Love your blog.))♥
ReplyDeleteAwh lovely dress! I love all the colours in this - perfect for the summer, which must be coming soon! I adore the clutch especially, and your hair is so pretty :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous as always ,, love the dress <3
ReplyDeleteI have walked into Target before while suddenly realizing that every piece of my wardrobe came from there! It's happened to me a couple of times. I always wondered if people would think I had shoplifted everything when I left. lol
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of the femininity...you wear it so well, and I think a lot of your outfits are more feminine than you think. You balance them out so well, but you look equally beautiful and stylish keeping it simple and feminine. Simple doesn't always mean boring! :)
