Love it or Leave it: Anthropologie Dress vs My Target Dress

Last year I wrote an article entitled,  'The Perfect Transition Dress From Summer to Fall"   It was a dress by Anthropologie.

The Anthropologie dress
  
      
 Here's the dress by Target, a Merona brand plus size dress:


There's actually a zipper on one of the shoulders, and the elbow sleeves or capped w/a cute epaulet button - Target buy here




I loved the dress by Anthropologie, couldn't get that one, not in my size...so I was happy to see the Target brand, and on sale!!!!

 I've already worn it twice. Both casual looks. The first one for work on a Casual Friday, with a scarf a polka dot scarf and skinny jeans.  I also wore it with my blue Tommy Hilfiger platform sneakers.

The second time I wore it on a weekend outing with my daughter Amanda.  I wore it with leggings, a skinny sparkly scarf and glitter hoops. I wore an arm candy of bracelets too.

For now, I won't wear it without leggings or skinny jeans because of the fit.  Mine is a size XL. I could try a 1X but since they didn't have it, the XL is a great fit and skims my body.  If I wanted to go looser, I could buy the size 1X or get a 2X and I just might, just for the fun of it!  


I LOVE IT!!!  What do you think?!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!
