I miss one week of Frugal Fashion Friday and I feel so out of the loop! Well, I’m back and excited to share about the outfit I wore last weekend at my cousin’s wedding.
I don’t have a lot of dressy outfits for fall weather, so I was on the hunt for a cute {yet affordable outfit} for the special occassion. I knew the venue was in the mountains and that it wasn’t going to be black tie or anything super formal, but I still wanted something nice but comfortable. I think my outfit fit the bill pretty well.
I found the dress at Target when I was browsing a couple months back. I tried it on and liked it instantly. It was comfortable {and even had pockets} and I felt like the fit was flattering. Not too tight, not too loose and a good length for me. Score!
Since the dress was sleeveless and I knew it would be cool in the mountains in the fall, I knew I’d need a sweater of some sort to go with it. I had asked my sister to bring a couple of her blak cardigans with her in case I needed to borrow one of them, but I ended up using my black shrug cardigan instead. I wasn’t sure how it would look, but I thought it worked out well.
{This photo makes me laugh!}
I found the red necklace and earrings at Target as well. I probably could have picked a variety of colors to pair with the neutral dress, but I thought I’d get a lot of use out of the bold red colors with other outfits.
I have to be honest and say the shoes were a bit of a disappointment. I knew I wanted nude ballet flats, but I should have spent more time trying these on for size before purchasing these. These were form Target, but I should have gotten a size smaller and perhaps the style that didn’t curl up when not worn {I don’t know what you call those?} My feet look a tad swollen in this picture, but you can see that they don’t even fit the insides of my feet right. They worked okay and I’m glad I had a flat for the reception, but were not my favorite.
Any thoughts? Could I have done anything different??

I recently bought those shoes from target as well. They took some getting used to and I think I like them better now that they have broken in some 🙂
Oh good! I'm definitely going to keep wearing them, so I hope they will work out well!
I LOVE LOVE the dress..I wonder if I can still find it??! 🙂
It was online last night when I was on Target's website!! Click on the link in the post and it should take you to the item online. 🙂
I have a really hard time finding ballet flats that truly fit right and stay fitting–like yours, they usually end up seeming too loose across the width of my feet. But so far I've found that the kind that curl up seem to fit better than the kind that don't. With that style it's always a fine line between "too tight" and "my shoes are falling off!"
YES YES!!
