Tulle & Tucker

When I took these pictures, I was still on the hunt for boots for the fall and winter, which would allow me to wear just about all of the dresses I’ve already worn with new boots and also lots of layers.  As an example, I think this lighter dress and jacket together make for a great fall outfit because of the color combination.

Although I love these boots from Aldo that I purchased years ago, I wanted a more updated look.  I found some great boots over the Thanksgiving holiday from Guess, Vince Camuto and Axxiom.  I’ll be sure to post outfit pictures and share details on my great Black Friday deals!

Out of Focus

Sometimes you have to work with what you’re given and the best pictures from this little pictorial were not quite in focus. After putting them up and previewing them, I ended up liking the soft and blurry effect.

There’s a tiny bit of mixology in my outfit (ala The Glamourai) with the pin-striped skirt, leopard print shirt and tweed jacket. But it looked like rain, so I didn’t have time to take the jacket off before I dashed behind the mall to grab a few shots of what I was wearing while getting to my next errand.

(Note:  Today is the anniversary of my father’s death.  I didn’t want to call it out in it’s own post because my previous blog was almost exclusively about how I was coping with his death, and this blog is a celebration of life.  So in this blog, I decided to have celebration posts when it’s his birthday or my parents anniversary instead of marking the opposite.  I just wanted to take a moment to mention how much I love him and miss him.  I love you daddy!)

Sucker for Tucker

The Tucker for Target line was everything I thought it would be and more.  The prints and fabrics were so rich, light and felt gorgeous on the skin.  I purchased the signature dress in the lawn bird print and the trench jacket in green herringbone (both pictured in this post).  I wore them together for work today and received tons of compliments because the colors were fall ready (olive and violet), but still so light that I could wear them now and not feel hot and weighted down in this transitioning California weather. 

I’m going post pictures to show how versatile the looks can be with these pieces.  I wore them together today, but the dress can be worn by itself or as a layering piece because it’s a shirt dress with buttons all the way down the front. 

The trench jacket is so light that it can also be layered.  I also love that the jacket has a very pretty floral lining and the fabric color and texture made the jacket feel so very vintage.  I read a review where the person thought the trench jacket was not practical because it only had a button on the top and only wrapped at the waist without any other buttons to secure the jacket closed.  I actually found this very practical because I would wear it without the belt to give the jacket a cardigan feel.  Then I could button it at the top and use the belt to close the jacket up.  A big plus was that the jacket has pockets, which are always mommy friendly.

I wanted to love the diamond print signature dress, but the pattern didn’t look quite right on me.  My husband even said that it was too jagged, so I had to sadly leave it behind.  I will, however, be buying the skirt in orange herringbone, the tie front blouse in orange polka-dot print and the other signature dress in floral print.  I’m still deciding on the butterfly printed shirt, the tunic sweater in brown stripes and a couple of the camisole dresses.  The Persian bomber jacket…can’t forget about that either. 

If there was a camel jacket, I think Tucker for Target would have covered everything I would want for fall.  Well, almost…
