Burgundy Color Combinations and Missoni for Target Shoes

This is my first official outfit post of December! Please excuse the terribly un-chic background, it is a little distracting but I think it matches my outfit. Either way, yesterday while getting dressed I decided that I was going to wear this soft, long sleeve burgundy top. Even though in the back of my mind I knew I was going to end up wearing the burgundy top with my red pair of J Brand jeans, I began searching my wardrobe for something navy to pair it with. I was not going to settle on a pair of dark denim and I was not ready to commit to the red jeans (if I get an idea in my head about an outfit sometimes I can stuck on it, which in this case was the navy). After wasting more time than I would like to admit, I realized that I really did not want to wear something navy and I was ready to commit to the red jeans. I threw on my bomber from Cheap Monday (if I was not going to go for the navy/burgundy color combination then there was no reason not to go for the green/burgundy color combination, right?). To complete the look, for the first time I decided to wear my Missoni for Target shoes seeing as I like the way the red and the burgundy go with the tan zigzag stripe on the toe. Back to work for me, later!

Missoni for Target: the online shopping expierience

Like many people, I too experienced the greatest internet crash of 2011 (kidding), a crisis that left the nation in a state of confusion. A state of frustration, where the only thing to do was to wait it out, wait for some answers, press refresh, and consistently check Twitter. Everyone was in a state of anger, not me though, not this girl.

There was no true reason for me to get mad. That morning I accidentally woke up too early, there was no plan to even logon, but in my sleep deprived state I somehow remembered that today was the day. Then without realizing it I found myself in the middle of a nightmare even though I had just gotten up. After more time than I should have allowed, I closed the window. Target's website had crashed just as I was about to checkout. Even though I had everything that I wanted in my cart and even though I knew that there would be nothing left in my size, if there was anything left at all when I logged back on later that day, I knew it was pointless to get mad.

When I logged back on in the evening it was only to check to see if the site was working, I had no intention of buying anything. The site was working, and just as I predicted, there was nothing left in my size. Then I had a realization: I was forgetting the children's section of Missoni for Target. I ended up getting everything I had wanted, including these leggings that I had not even planned on getting originally.

When I got the package I realized that the leggings match the dress and together they create a perfect traveling outfit. So next time you see me at the train station or at the airport, unless I have gotten that pair of cashmere pants from net-a-porter, there is a pretty good chance I will be wearing this! Later!
