Target


{For the month of May 2011, I partnered with Target for a social media fashion experiment. My readers, along with Target fans, designed looks for me to wear for specific events. I wore the outfits which received the most Facebook likes, and documented my experiences. The project has been called, "the most revolutionary social media collaboration to date." Best of all? It was a total blast}

A Month of Target

For someone who went years hardly ever posting pictures of myself, I’ve certainly made up for lost time this month…

Hard to believe that my month in Target is over! Aside from the occasional pair of shorts, it was a total blast. Even with the shorts, it was a blast. Thank you all for playing along and for your enthusiasm and for your support and your confidence building. This really was a fantastic experience and I’m so glad that I got to be the guinea pig. And a big thank you, of course, to Target for supplying me with clothes cute enough that I never looked like a total fool. My love for all things Target is greater now than ever, which is saying a lot.

Here’s a wrap up of the posts: Perfect Choices, Errands, Graduation, Day at School, Weekend of Highs & Lows, Transportation Day, Birthday Dinner, First Weekend, NYC, Shopping & Lunch.

My final outfit is below. Seems fitting that it was shorts. Also fitting that I didn’t hate it at all…

I can’t say they’ll be a staple in my wardrobe, but I won’t go running from them either.

The only question is: What on earth will I wear tomorrow?!

Errands by Target

Before I talk about this outfit, I’d like to say how very much I’ve been enjoying this challenge. It’s been so much fun experimenting with things outside of my normal comfort zone. I’ve been wearing scarves! And dresses! And skirts! And, seriously, I’ve become such a Merona fan that I went out and bought a [...]

Being Large

People say horrible things about me on this site. They tell me that I’m stupid, that I’m a terrible parent, that I’m a horrible wife. They tell me that I’m undeserving, shallow and going to hell. They tell me that this is the lamest blog they have ever read and that I should just shut off the computer and disappear forever.

Yes, truly, people tell me that.

But, none of it really phases me (ok, most of it doesn’t phase me.) I know that I’m a good parent, that I’m a good wife and a good person and those people don’t know me at all. Thankfully, I have a really good ability to let the negative stuff role off me. Except, however, when it’s about my appearance. Because that’s the one thing I have doubts about, myself…
