Victoria Beckham for Target includes a collection of over 200 pieces. The price point ranges from $6-$70. Better yet, the majority of the products are priced under $40. Items include women’s fashion ranging in sizes XS-3X and NB-XL for girls, toddler and baby. Simply put, Beckham “loved the idea of opening the brand up to a wider audience and being able to share [her] vision with a broader customer base.” The collection features bold black and whites with pops of neon and cotton candy pastels.

A few of my favorite dresses are as follows. I love the retro silhouettes! Dress number three is the perfect LBD with a twist. How sweet is the scallop detail? Four (yes that is a leatherette design!) and five are SO 1960’s and I picture them both with a fabulous pair of over the knee boots.

Pantsuits, pantsuits, and more pantsuits. I am not sure there is anything more difficult to find than a fashionable pantsuit. Stock up, ladies, because these items will go like hot cakes! The peplum and plaid in look number six is genius in and of itself. I am smitten for the hot pink but look number 8 stole my heart at first sight.

This is only a snapshot of the goodies available in the Victoria Beckham for Target collaboration. Do yourself a favor and bookmark this page, set a reminder on your phone for April 9th, and peruse the collection in its entirety here. These items will sell out fast! Buy or cry.

Legs for Days

High waisted pants that taper at the knee will instantly elongate the appearance of your legs. This is a plus for short legged folk like me. I am only 5 feet tall but appear longer and leaner in these party pants. We always want what we can’t have. You know what they say, “fake it till you make it.”

Daytime or Nighttime Wear

Statement pants are very versatile garments in actuality. In other words, they are suitable for day or nighttime wear. These pants carried me through the whole day with a few networking and runways shows here and there. Truth be told, it is all about the top.

All Eyes on Deck

It is nice to feel appreciated. This applies to all aspects of life, including what we choose to wear. In the right instances, it is fun/good to be noticed. Maybe you are celebrating a promotion, or a birthday. With killer pants like these, you will not go unnoticed. At New York Fashion Week, the funkier the better!

Tuesday afternoon we set out for a tour of the Uffizi Museum. If you’re fond of art, add this exhibit to your bucket list. There are over 10,000 works of Renaissance Art in the museum. A guide is encouraged because it is easy to get “lost” in the endless halls of artwork and you do not want to miss a Michelangelo painting! Anyway, I do not do well in cold temperatures, so I packed expecting the worse. After all the hype, the weather there was not much different than the weather at home. I got off easy…

A flower child at heart, I take advantage of every opportunity I get to wear 1970’s fashions. When I came across these velvet flare pants from Forever 21, I knew they would be perfect for a day of exploring Firenze. Velvet is a toasty fabric and quite comfortable too. I paired these bottoms with a burgundy turtleneck sweater and draped a little pink coat over my shoulders creating a feminine contrast. The only thing I would have changed about this look is the shoes! My feet needed a massage after walking the cobblestone streets in high heels. Now I see why they say, “wear comfortable shoes” in Florence. It is not the mileage, but it is the terrain. Even if you are a professional heel wearer like me, the uneven pavement is difficult to navigate in anything other than flats or wedges. Lesson learned!

After taking these photos at the very scenic Ponte Vecchio, we wined and dined at the charming trattoria, Pandemonio. All I can say is good thing these pants had an elastic waist…but more about the food tomorrow!

A few months ago I purchased this awesome fringe shrug from Nasty Gal. I had hoped for it to go over a chevron shirt, but that outfit did not turn out as planned. After the first failed attempt, I tried it with a denim skirt, a corduroy skirt, as well as a black on black ensemble. Still no luck, so it hung pretty and unworn in my closet for the last three months. It was not until I brought home these retro clogs that I decided to give the shrug another try. FINALLY it worked! Moral of the story: if you are going for a particular vibe, dive in head first. I was being too conservative when I originally styled this statement piece. I did not want to look too costume-y. Ironically, it looked best not only with a headpiece and clogs, but with flare jeans – I think we can all agree that bell bottoms epitomize 1970’s fashions. Great news fashionista, if you are ready to step out in funky 70’s garb, this shrug is now available in ivory, and I like it better than the one I own.
