Dressing Snazzy on a Budget

While visiting my daughter in Dallas a few weeks ago, we made a trip to the local Target store.  This one had been completely remodeled unlike our local store that was still undergoing the process.

I had heard that Target was now carrying several new lines of women's clothing and was curious to see what this metroplex store might carry.

Both Christy and I were quite surprised and pleased to find some really cute and well-made items.  Needless to say, we both left the store with a few things we couldn't leave behind.

Let me show you a couple items that came back across the state line with me.

When I saw this jacket, I knew I could find several uses for it, both for dress and casual wear.

I wore this outfit to church yesterday and had so many compliments on it.

I dressed up my less than expensive jacket with a nice shell from Talbots, black trousers and boots from Macy's and one of my favorite statement necklaces from a local boutique.

I felt quite dressed up.

Another of my Target finds was this gold cable knit sweater.  I have worn it with other jackets as well, but really like it with this one.

I put on an older pair of jeans, brown suede booties and a little glitter necklace.

With the mild winters we have here, this is about all the cover I will need most of the time.

I have also worn a black turtleneck sweater with this jacket and a simple drop necklace to fill the gap and loved the look.

So, never discount a less than expensive clothing item if you like it and can make it work for at least two or three different outfits.
