Is there a style blogger out there who didn’t pick up one of the lovely Tucker for Target pieces?  It seems like everybody has at least one item from the capsule collection.  Honestly, it was hard for me to leave the store with only this dress.  I’m still kind of wishing I had also purchased the orange polka dot top, especially since I could actually wear that to work or style it more casually, but oh well.  Though I can think of several ways to make this dress more business-y, the length precludes me from wearing it to work.  Now that I’m looking at these photos, I’m wondering if I should have worn it to church!  People wear jeans at church, so I’m sure it wasn’t a big deal.  I think next time I wear this, I’ll layer a sweater over the dress.  In fact, I’ll probably have to if I plan to wear this dress again before April!  It’ll be too cold to wear it by itself soon.  I’m also pleased to see that this dress doesn’t actually look as blousy as I felt like it did. 

This was a fun outfit to wear after a stressful couple of days.  I really liked the relaxed 70s-ish vibe of the whole outfit.  I’m kind of excited to wear it again.  :)

P.S. Thanks for the Target giftcard birthday present, sissy!  This is what I bought.  :)
