So during a quick Target run with a deprived Alexis visiting from NYC last weekend, we discovered what could be our new favorite sweaters of the season (might I add that they were only $22.99?!). Only problem is, out of the four different variations of the sweater, they only had one of them in my size. That may be reasonable and even acceptable for most people, but as you’ve probably already discovered I’m not “most people”. The sweater suddenly became the Holy Grail to me, I needed the complete collection. And no, they were not available online except for the purple love one, i.e. the one that I had managed to snag in my size, thanks Target (although I see now that they have added the blue heart one I’m wearing above). I may or may not have also checked eBay in case there were others on the hunt of these low supply, high demand gems. And yes, since each of the sweaters aren’t online you’re stuck with yours truly modeling (coming from the girl who was hiding behind her dog in yesterday’s post and now I’m all “look at me, look at me”, fear not I won’t make a habit out of this), don’t let this get you deterred from falling head over heels.
I flirted with admitting to you guys how many Targets I actually ventured to in a two day span, but I may lose readers by doing so. Seriously. The important part is I’m proud to say my collection is complete, I am the proud owner of all four. The shakes have subsided. I can sleep well. Just so you know, any comment that you’re making to yourself while shaking your head and possibly also rolling your eyes that I’m cray cray…believe me, I’m fully aware of it and am reminded daily by my husband. I’m also well aware that I live in South Florida and will be able to wear these for all of 45 minutes this season, but whatever, my office is cold. Or maybe I’ll just wear them all at once like Joey…
By now are you just jumping out of your seat reading this dying to know what each of these infamous sweaters look like before you grab your keys and run to Target? Feast your eyes on this fabulousness (hope that didn’t just make me sound like Teresa Giudice, who’s managed to practically trademark the prefix “fab”, ok sorry I know now I’m just teasing you all with anticipation)…
I don’t know who decided that foxes are “in” this season, but they definitely are and this little guy is no exception! I also love the attention to detail that was put in to them, with a random color stitched on the inside of the collar, which actually helped give me inspiration as to what I could pair it with!
Owl sweater paired with Gap Sexy Boyfriend Jeans & Gap Suede Loafers in Electric Fuchsia (Side note: 25% off all online orders with promo code GAPFALL25 until 9/9)
Love sweater paired with Gap Cropped Legging Jean (color no long available online) & J Crew Classic Leather Ballet Flats in Tawny Sand
Fox sweater paired with AG Prima Mid Rise Cigarette Jeans (new fav jeans purchased here for almost half off!!) & J Crew Classic Leather Ballet Flats in Golden Sunflower (color no longer available online)
So, I wish you all good luck on your mission on getting your paws on your fav version, should you choose to accept it.

The AGs look perfect. Do they run pretty true to size?

I think so! They’re snug with a little stretch as well. They’re amazing and I basically haven’t worn any other regular jeans since purchasing!
