So, I’m probably just like the rest of you when it comes to flipping through magazines. I think a lot of “Oh that’s cute.. I would never wear that…. I like that… that looks expensive.” I might flag 1 or 2 items, but rarely do I decide to hunt down the entire outfit. Why? Um.. first, who has time for that? and second… doesn’t it always seem like when you are shopping for one specific item, it is the one item that no stores are carrying?
Example: During high school, I was a tour guide at a territorial museum that showcased life around 1900 in Oklahoma. I decided that all of the summer interns should match. I then decided that we should all wear denim sleeveless button downs. This is a true story. It gets worse… So, for two days, I called every single Walmart in the Oklahoma City and then surrounding areas. Mind you, this was before the days when you could just Google it. BUT looking back, I don’t really know why I thought Walmart would have them. Anyway, I would call and ask, and it was a no every time. You would have thought that I might have caught on that Walmart didn’t carry them after I contacted the first half dozen stores. You would have also thought that my boss would have fired me for such a waste of time. Thanks for keeping me employed, mom. 😉
Or another example of looking for an item and not finding it would be… a few weeks ago I decided to look for a skinny cobalt blue belt. Couldn’t find one anywhere.
Should have led with that story, huh?
Alright. So back to the point. Most of us do not have the time or initiative to track down every single item that a celebrity was sporting in a magazine photo. That is where I come in… I was looking through online magazines and found this little gem of Ashley Tisdale. It is such an easy look and would flatter lots of body types. Dress it up or down for summer… run errands in it… accessorize it up for a date. Seriously. What an adorable outfit. Also, love the ankle boot trend and it is carrying into Spring/Summer… so don’t put them away just yet.
When I saw this photo, I decided that it is not the individual pieces that I love about this look… it is how simple and classy it looks all put together. I also decided that I would try and find all of the similar pieces at Target online… AND I DID! This is meant to be folks… and so much easier than calling half the phone book. Denim sleeveless button downs… what was I thinking? haha SO to get you started shopping, I have included the links to each indivual item below the image.
