Daily Outfit - 04/22/10

dailywear

I have an "industry function" this evening, so I needed an outfit that would take me from 7 am to probably 9 pm or so. The function isn't anything formal (hello, Casino Night - here is hoping I win something cool!), but I wanted something that was chic yet comfy. Luckily I scored this great jacket at Marshalls and knew creating an outfit with it would give me just what I was looking for.

This jacket fills my quest for a neutral trench/anorak styled jacket rather nicely. On casual days I can use the tie belt that came with it and on others I can swap out the belt like I did today, plus the buttons, ruffle detailing and sleeves are fantastic extra touches. Also, these pants show off my Panther Heels wonderfully! The last (and only) time I wore them they were pretty covered up.

Thanks for all the comments about Target and their Plus Size section. I sent Target an email inquiring yesterday also out of curiosity. I received a pretty lame response (which I have posted in yesterday's comments), but at least they responded same day!

Thanks, ladies! Mrs. Alex P - I saw these at the TJ Maxx downtown and Castleton last month. Don't know if there are any more pairs lurking around still or not. Good luck!

I AM TOTALLY COVETING THAT JACKET!!

I am doing the cream/black combo today, but look nowhere close to that stunning! Rock on with your hot self, Kimberly!

Chelsea said...

wow! great ensemble, Kimberly! I am in love with that jacket... love the idea of swapping out the self belt especially. gotta try that with my new trench!

and this look is TOTALLY perfect for day to night. the light neutrals on top keep it less "formal", while the black pants and SASSY ASS shoes up the glamour factor (oh and the fabulous accessories).

Love it love it love it.
