ok, i have many confessions to make for this blog post, so here goes. confession 1. i hate how my arms look in tight shirts. solution for confession 1-baggy sleeves. confession 2. i like solids in rooms and not a ton of pattern, but i like to wear pattern, so confusing. confession 3. i really like wearing dresses, but i get so self conscious for some reason and i always want them to hit at my knee. so bizarre. (keep in mind, this happened after college...during college, i did not dress like little house on the prairie.) so with all of that in mind, when i first found out that tucker was going to do a line for target, i kind of let it go in one ear and out the other. i didn't follow gaby much, so i didn't know what i would be missing. fast forward to target's last days of tucker and all of their sale items waiting for me in the back, dark corner. i'm in target with amanda and i see all of their goodness on the sale rack (another confession--i'm a sale girl. always will be). i immediately buy three dresses (i will show you the purchases below, but can't find the solid orange dress...) and one blouse. they are just so adorable! i'm dying. anything baggy with pattern (or like a garbage sack is what the husband says) is perfect for my taste in clothing. so keep in mind nothing i bought was over $20 per item. i say i got a deal. so yesterday i saw a girlfriend and was wearing my tucker blouse (below) and she said, wow that looks like a tucker blouse, is it? i immediately said yes (if asked, i would have said target, not tucker...not knowing how great this designer is) she said i was going to buy one the other day at a boutique store and it was $300 so i just couldn't bring myself to do it. (are you bleeping kidding me? do i own a steal or what?!?!--is what i'm thinking). so needless to say, i got home to see if she was accurate, and that she was. tucker is designed by gaby basora, and this lady is totally singing my song when it comes to clothing design. i have added some pictures below of some of my favorite outfits from her collection. hold onto your seats. it's going to be a beautiful ride. jolene.
this is the blouse i own. i just love it. (i typically use all of the buttons) and now i'm going to love it even more since i'm going to be adding a jacket to it much like the picture above. genius!
this dress is so darn cute. the pattern is perfect, and the blue-gray color is to die for. all around a great purchase. i wore it when i met madison from million dollar listing (shown below). who knew i was so stylish :)
this is the other patterned dress i scored at target. i typically wear them with a separate belt, but now that i see how great they look like with the matching one, i might switch it up!
now, here are the inspiring pieces that i wish i could own. now i'm going to become obsessed with them. that's how i get. confession: i find something i like and bam, i'm now obsessed. poor amanda...she gets to go through my crazed phases that happen once an hour. regardless, i hope you agree that gaby is a genius and i am crossing my fingers and toes she does a second collection for the large, red bulls eye.
