Hello everyone and welcome to my better late than never V-Day Pt. 2 OOTD! Two weekends ago, Johnny and I wrapped up our Valentine’s Day celebrations by seeing our favorite musical, Hadestown, as EJ Thomas Hall in Akron. Unfortunately, the show left a lot to be desired but we still had a lot of fun! Also unfortunately, our location for our dinner beforehand was completely booked up and that left us in a mad dash to find another option and get to the theater in time. You can read all about that in the Blooper Reel but, long story short, we ended up taking OOTD shots during the super brief intermission of Hadestown. The lighting sucked, these pictures aren’t the best and kind of blurry, but it was the best we could do lol! Check it out:
Who? What? Wear?
Kisses Cami Top: A New Day, Target
Bubble Skirt: A New Day, Target
Heart Toe Kitten Heels: A New Day, Target
The earrings are also from Target and I’m SHOOK that there is nothing from TJMaxx in this look!
I used to LOVE shopping at Target until there came a point when I hated all of the clothes there lol. In fact, I rarely even go to Target anymore so I couldn’t believe how cute all of their Valentine’s Day apparel was during a random Target Run a few months ago. I really had no intention of getting a new outfit for mine and Johnny’s Hadestown date, but I just couldn’t help myself because the OOTD built itself in a matter of seconds. The cami and bubble skirt were on the same rack, the shoes were directly across from them, and I knew it would look great so I went for it!
The first thing that caught my eye in the store was definitely the cami top adorned with red lipstick kisses. I loved the silky material and despite having a holiday themed print, it is something that could be worn year round. That was especially enticing to me because I don’t want to just wear a piece once, but as long as the weather permits. This cami is delightfully reminiscent of my go to tops from French Rooster and it’s nice to have something different because I feel like I wear them all the time. Had I not bought a new outfit, I’m ninety-nine percent confident I would have ended up wearing one or the other of my tried and true camis for Hadestown.
Next, can we please talk about how cute the bubble skirt is?! I have always been enamored with bubble skirts because they are just so whimsical and fun. Until that fateful Target Run, I had never seen one in store so I had to jump on it. I’m elated that I did because it is, hands down, one of my favorite purchases of recent memory. This skirt paired with the cami tucked in created such a unique silhouette and it was freaking awesome. I have never seen myself in a shape like that and it was exciting to wear something so different from the norm. I felt like a ballerina model and what is better than that?!
Last but not least, was shoes and accessories. As I mentioned, the kitten heels by A New Day were just a glance away from the skirt and top. I would have paired this outfit with my Nine West kitten heels but how do you say no to those adorable heart toes? I am also obsessed with the see through sides, which is a style I love but have never found anything I liked enough to get. For jewelry, I chose an elegant pair of three tiered black gemstones to elongate my neck and that was that because my tattoos were my accessory department. 😀
Stay tuned for the Blooper Reel from this look because a majority of these pictures were bloopers and so was the entire evening leading up to the show!
What is your favorite holiday to dress for? What is your favorite pattern to wear? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
