Oh friends if you could only see the shade of blue and this dress in person! It just makes you smile. So for a couple posts, I've told you about getting my three Target dresses for Fall and I showed you this ONE and this ONE and now here is the final one I'm styling for today's fashion post/Link-Up and The twofer for What's Up Wednesday with Shay, Sheaffer and Mel.
This dress is another versatile one. I have a pair of of burgundy tights that I plan to wear with short booties but for this session, I pulled out my favorite cognac OTK boots. I'm thinking I might add a long sweater duster too.
My favorite Rebecca Minkoff clutch with perfect as there are touches of pink in it and I love the mint green pops in the dress as well! Kind of a nice yet unusual color mix. The only thing I do not like about this dress, it makes the girls look smaller and I really need the enhancement. #honeycanIhaveaboobjob

ReplyDeleteYou are a beauty in blue friend! That dress is fabulous on you - I love it with the cognac boots. There's so much to look forward to this time of year and celebrating your mom is so special - you are the perfect daughter! I just love when you share pictures of the two of you, such a sweet and loving relationship. No wonder you're so awesome, you get it from your momma!

This blue is gorgeous in these pictures so I can only imagine in person! Target has had some great finds lately. Can't wait to see the Tex Mex Breakfast Enchiladas next week. It sounds and looks delicious! Happy Wednesday, Andrea!

LOVE that dress! Can't wait to see the new house! I know you are getting so excited!
ReplyDeleteI love how many different ways you already know you can wear the dress - that's a winner right there! You and I have pretty similar taste is shows so if you like stranger things maybe I will as well! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThat dress is cute as can be and how fun that you go to meet Kelly Rippa on one of your trips! Have fun under the Friday night lights and have a wonderful Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThat blue dress is fabulous, I love how bright it is :-) Love all the TV shows you are watching too! I miss DWTS this season, I haven't had the time to watch it. Have a great day!

This dress is too much fun. I love how perfect it is for fall, but it still has a great pop of color too. It looks really great on you sweet lady!
ReplyDeleteThe blue dress is gorgeous! I'm loving so many of the things at Target right now that it's best if I just don't go. lol.
ReplyDeleteThe long sweaters and boots time is just beginning to creep in here in Texas. Well in fact, yesterday I wore long sleeves with sandals and it officially felt silly. Bring it on! :)
I have a question for you, Andrea. Do you ever look bad in anything? That blue dress looks so darn cute on you! I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are on Ginny Moon - I met the author at an event. Love the new sign!! Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is such a gorgeous color- I love it paired with the boots! I didn't expect to really like Stranger Things when I watched it last year, but we ended up watching the entire season in one night, lol. So excited for season 2 to come out soon!
ReplyDeleteYou look positively radiant in that blue dress! It has a hint of a Lily Pulitzer vibe, but I love that it's a bit more eclectic, too! Frankly, you can pull any look off though :) have a great day, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color on you! That dress is just so pretty and would look good year round! Also, I'm SOO excited for the stranger things premiere Friday!! I didn't think I'd like that show either but I'm addicted lol.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the different colors in that dress because it really makes it so easy to pair with a wide variety of accessories! I love that you take your mom on trips for milestone birthdays! That's the perfect way to celebrate together!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous color on you sweet friend! And I spy my favorite clutch <3
ReplyDeleteGreen Fashionista
EEK!! You and that dress!! Soo BLUE-tiful!! Unfortunately for me, I haven't found anything in our Target lately. So disappointing! So glad Baby Boy will get to play this week and I'm loving that sign for the pool room!
ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous in that dress! I love everything about the outfit. I also really love that nowhere to go sign.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous color blue my friend and I love the boots with it! I wish my legs were longer to accommodate some OTK boots. Oh well, I digress. I'm so excited for your house, I can only imagine how excited YOU must be. I just love that you take your precious mom on a trip every 5 years. That is the sweetest. Sweet potato casserole is one of my favs too...funny part is up until about 2 years ago I would pretty much only eat the topping. LOL Happy Wednesday Andrea! XOXO
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute, Andrea. I think adding a duster would totally look cute as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fun weekend of football, fun and wallpaper. :)

So you're jumping on the STranger Things wagon, too? Let me know what you think! I wanted to like it, but it's just so weird I was not a fan. Although, I'll be watching the new season on Friday just like everyone else! Haha. Brian is going to drag me into it, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThe boots and envelope clutch are so cute! (And I love that little hamster!)

Have a great day!
P.S. How about the Irish on Saturday night?!!!What a great game! We were there and it was an amazing night! Go Irish :)

I can't wait for the breakfast enchilidas recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad about Tom Petty :(
Can't believe I'll never see him in concert again.
You are absolutely stunning in blue. Also Kelly Ripa! No way!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, that shade of blue is perfect for you. You can get a lot of wear out of it year round.
ReplyDeleteThe recipes look delish, and I'll have to check out that book. I can't keep up with all of the new TV shows, and I'm constantly up too late watching stuff On Demand!! Ugh!

We had the same idea today - blue dresses and boots! What a beautiful color on you. Can't wait to hear all about the birthday trip with your sweet mom!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that dress! How pretty. That bourbon chicken looks so amazing. How fun for you and your mom. I love that you do this every 5 years. I also love that you met Kelly Rippa...I love her!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous dress! And I had to laugh, because I couldn't quite figure out the "envelope"!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat top is utterly divine, Andrea! And I should' worry about the girls - I don't think they look small ;) I bet the top would look fab with jeans too!
ReplyDeleteHave a super week, my friend.

ReplyDeleteI really need to get on the Target train for my fall wardrobe! Right before our Target store is Pier 1 and Home Goods...soooooo I never actually make it into Target, usually!

ReplyDeleteLove that dress on you! And I wanted to watch The Good Doctor, but Mr. says he wants to see if it gets picked up for another season before we invest time into to. Which currently we don't seem to have much of. we still have 2 weeks of This is Us to watch...

You have had quite a busy month Andrea. So will you be at your new home before the holidays?! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and floral print on your dress but I too hate dresses that are shaped like that on the boob area because they reduce a cup or so lol. I am loving your outfit with the leopard ad black pants. So edgy yet so sophisticated!
Your dress is so pretty and the color does make me happy! I love the pattern too!
ReplyDeleteI really love the color of that dress! It's so pretty and I love the clutch you paired it with!
