Altuzarra First Run

I finally got around to trying out my first Altuzarra purchase.  If you followed my last post you know that I buy both online and in-store.  The piece I'm highlighting in this post is an in-store purchase I was highly skeptical about when I first saw it.








This dress had absolutely no hanger appeal to me.  But my mother insisted on adding it to the cart Sunday morning when we were in the store.

I had a meeting with my new boss yesterday (more on that later this week...the Pre-MBA internship), and I wanted to make sure I still had a professional and relaxed feel.  I also really didn't feel like getting dressed up.  Comfort is high priority when I'm getting ready for anything, I constantly toe the line between sweatpants and high fashion.

In all honesty I decided to wear this yesterday because it was the first thing in my eye line when I woke up.  I'll admit I was highly surprised by how cute and comfortable this Altuzarra For Target dress was.

I styled it a little more matchy-matchy than I usually go for, but when you own a baby blue blazer, you try to find an excuse to wear it when ever.  The blazer was a find at H&M (another reluctant purchase), and the heels and jewelery are from J. Crew...and some New York street vendor sunglasses, and a blue hobo sac purse from god knows where.

Granted, the dress is two sizes to big (again part of my high/low buy strategy), but my tailor will get a crack at this dress later this week.

Hope you are having an amazing week so far, until next time.
