Every quarter I get to write an article for my column, Ask Ashley, in Austin Woman Magazine. The past articles have ranged from what classic pieces to invest in to Splurge or Save content. From what feedback I have gathered, Splurge or Save articles are by far the best!
This month’s Ask Ashley is definitely my favorite of all of my articles and all of my Splurge or Saves! I mean, the two looks are practically identical and thousands of dollars apart in the cost. This goes back to my Target Style Series; you look absolutely stunning or cute and comfy without spending a ton of money.
Here is a bigger, split version if you couldn’t read the text in the others!
I can’t believe this is the last post in my Target Style Series! Hopefully this has been a helpful guide showing you CAN look great and not spend a fortune. This one was really fun for me since I love Target and wear their clothes all the time, yet it was still a challenge to find one full week’s worth of full outfits that match. People are always amazed that I can put a great looking outfit together that cost only $100! You can do it too!! Now go save some money and shop affordable! 🙂

My desk is always a mess. I will spend a day organizing and 5 minutes later it’s a disaster again. I needed to start replacing my 2014 planners now that 2015 is fast approaching and quickly noticed practically everything I had purchased was from Target! So here is my Target Style Day 3 – Office Supplies… and a bottle of wine. Because who doesn’t want that on their desk!
Product Details:
All items are currently in stores now!
Love Noir Wine // Nate Berkus Gold Paperclips // Maybelline Magnificent Mauve
