Okay, well, I didn't "actually" wear this outfit. But it's been sitting in my room for about a month and I've never had the occasion to wear it, so I just decided to throw it on and take some pictures for the heck of it.
I'm thinking of making this skirt into a dress by sewing a tank top onto the top. It doesn't really fit that well as a skirt, so I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better. I love the mustard color, but it does odd things on my hips.
Since I wasn't going anywhere in real life, I decided to don my "fashion show heels," dubbed so because I wore them to my first fashion show here in Alaska. I love them, but they are pretty high and most of my outings don't call for such footwear.
I guess it's only appropriate that I am wearing my Rodarte for Target skirt. I did, in fact, go to Target today! I had to return a pillow and a rug that I was testing out in the Winne. Rug clashed. Decided on the other pillows. Which meant I had to return stuff, which meant that I got to once again bask in the loveliness or Target. Mmmmm. I got a super cute binder that I'm going to use to organize all my Brave/travel documents and such. I swear, I want to buy everything in that store. What did we do before Anchorage got a Target?! We're still in the honeymoon phase, I suppose.

Shopdixi sent over this vintage top (which is actually a leotard. What is with me and wearing onesie tops lately?) a while ago and I loved the gold detailing at the bust. When I saw that I knew I wanted to pair it with my Rodarte for Target skirt. I almost feel like, after looking at this outfit, it looks like a dress. Maybe it's just me but the gold lace on the top and the mustard skirt just go together so well. And then both have the sheer thing going on. They were meant to be, sez I! Hopefully you'll be seeing this top on some other Delightful Dozen ladies!
Well, work on the Brave is coming along nicely. I'm hoping tonight I can get the back bench seat fixed up (one of the cross bars needs some reinforcement) and maybe purchase some paint! I'm going to paint the kitchen a gorgeous color of green, so hopefully that will turn out well. I'll be painting on formica, so it'll probably take a bit of prep, but I'm confident I can make it work.
Oh! And then I'm making a cover for my fridge door (since for some reason it's naked right now) and I am so excited about it. I don't want to tell you guys what I'm going to do, it's going to be a surprise, but I am stoked!

I am totally, completely in love with this outfit. Since summer has come I feel like I can't relate to bloggers as much as I love the way fall/winter outfits are layered with luxurious textures. However, I feel that this outfit totally satisfies that!

you look amazing. love your skirt and the yellow butterflie!

I think Target has the affect on everyone. You go in for one thing, come out with seven others, and totally forget the thing you actually came in for and have to go back in.
This skirt is adorable. I think they should have another run of the Rodarte line.
Love the leotard. Black and gold is one of my favorite combinations. Making that skirt into a dress is a good idea... I have the same problem, where it sits kind of weird.
I love this! :)

We don't have a Target over here. A shame since I like all the designer for target lines. :)
I was wondering if you will be able to continue the Delightful Dozen while you are on the road in the Brave?

That outfit is rediculous! (In a good way!)
And I'm so excited to hear about the Brave! Can't wait for more details!
oo I love how you styled that skirt, when I saw that in store I had no clue what to do with it, but it looks great that way
that skirt is my favorite color ever!

I had that song stuck in my head this morning at work! And, as I am temporarily without an accessible Target, seeing everyone else's Target finds just makes me that much more certain it would just be quicker to send my paycheck straight over when the new one opens up a few blocks from my house.
Wow I adore that top! The colors in this post are really enchanting too :D
I love this outfit! One of my faves from you! :) I did the same thing with a stretchbelt and a skirt, it just held it up better.
Congrats on Winnie makeover and repairs :) I did the same thing when i got my car (new to me) "Beans" (it is purple like a jelly bean) I put Metallica floormats in it, and old pillows :)
Your skirt is so unique! I'd like to see you turn it into a dress, though.
Target is such a dangerous place for me. Everything is so pretty and shiny and inexpensive. I can't seem to walk out without spending less than $50 even on days where I'm just shopping for something simple like cleaning supplies or shipping boxes.
That's a really cool outfit. Very unusual.
I have a similar butterfly belt except in red. Very nice piece!
I know what you mean about the honeymoon face. my city experienced that when we first got a Forever 21. the lines were CRAZY.

I really like this outfit - love the mustard colour of that skirt. I have the same one in pink and blue and I agreee, it does strange things to the hip area. I love them anyway though
You look gorgeous and I can't WAIT to see Brave, revamped.
Gorgeous photos, and I LOVE those "fashion show" heels!
ooh that beautiful yellow is stunning on you!!!
Wow, this is one of the coolest outfits ever! Actually pretty simple, but it looks so high fashion :)
Can't wait to see what you do with the winnebago! I'm sure it'll look lovely!
I love the details on that skirt. And the color is perfect for spring.

I love how artful your look is today. I guess you know what kind of top to hunt down to turn this into a dress! It's a keeper!
Have fun painting! I paint EVERYTHING! Be sure to use high quality primer (my favorite is KILZ). Good luck!
Gorgeous outfit. That skirt is perfection.
Cool outfit and I'm loving your hair
i like the seamlessness of leotards, but boy are they a pain if there are no snaps!
where i go to school the only place worth shopping at is target! it's made me love and loathe the place.
You look so very Pittsburgh. I, for one, think that is a wonderful thing. :)
I love how you styled that Rodarte skirt!
What a wonderful outfit--the top and the skirt do match perfectly and it looks just like a dress you belted! I think this outfit is lovely and I'm all for wearing high heels for no reason except to prance around in a field and take photos! Good luck decorating and furnishing your Brave project.

You look amazing! The skirt totally works and is such an amazing color. I think you should give another chance before making it a dress. I love how versatile skirts can be. How about pairing it with simple shirts to give it that "dress" feel.
okay, that leotard and skirt were made for each other! what a cute combo.
This outfit is really cool! And those are some serious heels! I can't wait to see what you do with the brave!
i love that top with the skirt! I have that same skirt and the fit perplexes me as well. I was thinking of removing the mesh because it bunches weird. it's only sewn at the waist line and down the edge but I'm afraid that the whole thing will come apart. also a tiny part of me feels it might be blasphemous to alter a rodarte.
i love the look of this entire outfit - how flirty, frilly and all things girly!
p.s. i'm trying pretty darn hard not to be completely and utterly jealous of those amazing shoes. seriously. i may be turning a shade of green right about now ...
Oh this outfit is so beautiful!! I am really loving your skirt! I probably expressed my regret about this on probably more than ten different blogs already, but not having Target here in Europe really sucks.
You are so ridiculously gorgeous. (: and this outfit is to die for! So pretty and romantic..but with spunk. <3
Love that skirt!!!!
I would LOVE to see this skirt made into a dress. I think it would be absolutely beautiful.
interesting... I have that skirt too because I liked the idea of the Rodart filmy overlayers, BUT the thing does not really fit into my life style. I got the pink one on sale, but I can't wear it to work so....it sits in my closet. The black and yellow look good without being too bumble bee.
this outfit is freaking RAD!
the honeymoon phase never goes away target is the best. EVER.
i love your last photo. it is too cute!
That skirt is gorgeous and quite quirky too!
You are looking absolutely stunning, from the sheer onesie to the skirt to the shoes... yellow is my hands down favourite autumnal colour and I love this way to fancy it up. : )
