I mentioned a trip to Target the other day. I wanted to look for some things for me and for some Holiday outfits for Vivian. I originally picked up 6 or 7 things for me, but was good and only ended up purchasing three: this duster plaid dress, some booties and espadrille flats (all on sale). I bought 2 Holiday dresses, an outfit and a set of pajamas for Vivian, though. I have seen these long hi-lo duster shirt-dresses and really wanted to try this one from Target myself, plus it is Plaid and in Black+White, which I love. I am not sure I pull off this style well though, you tell me?! Or maybe I am not too crazy about the dress layered up into a cozy Fall Look (which you can see each layer on the collage above). What do you think? Does the Duster Dress look OK for Fall? I think it would look super adorable on its own for Summer. I would belt it and wear some cute sandals with it.
So for a brisk cold day yesterday, I layered a Lilac (almost a Light Gray) Cardigan underneath the Edgy Plaid Shirt-dress by Target and layered an Olive Green Puffer Vest over it. Last I added a Cozy Burgundy Scarf, also from Target and I was warm enough. I received this scarf as a gift this month, but I will talk more about it on another post. I love it though, since I am a huge fan of infinity knit scarves and already own a couple. I kept most of my outfit monochromatic between my dress, cardigan, booties and bag and added two of this Fall's biggest colors (two colors I happen to love) Olive *Dried Herb* and Burgundy *Marsala*.
