Today I wore a dress I got at Target a few weeks ago when I was in a shopping slump. I’m really glad I decided to get it because it brightened my day a little and it’s just too cute. It’s by the MERONA line. The lacey cap sleeves are my favorite part! Oh, and it’s NOT black! It’s like a navy/royal blue mix:
Dress- Merona @ Target
Belt- J. Crew
Shoes- Jessica Simpson

I just got back from one of my fitness classes and let me tell you y’all, it was INTENSE tonight. The first half of the class consisted of cardio exercises that focused on using a bosu ball, then we did 2 flights of stairs 8 times over, and then we did a combo of punching bags and weight lifting stuff with 8 different stations, with 4 minutes at each station. One of the girls in our class wears a heart rate monitor, and she burned 630 calories in the 1 hour class!
Hope everyone is having a great week!
xoxo,
Veronika.

Nice work V and I love that dress! I will have to go to Target and scope it out. I started working out with a personal trainer last week- wow I had no idea how hard it is! They push you and don't let you get away easy either! I do love it and it's worth it for the next 3 months until my wedding! You definitely inspired me there 🙂

@cmrpsu—yay! i'm so glad and I 100% agree—a trainer makes you realize you can do things that you never ever thought you could!
keep on workin' it 🙂

Really pretty dress, I love navy blue! The sleeves are sweet and romantic too.
I haven't been able to work out intensely since my accident, but I have gone to the gym twice this week and it feels great! Just to get moving again and burn some calories makes me feel better and stronger! I'll amp it up once my physical therapist tells me I can =)
Andi says
Wow, you look fantastic! Love the whole look V!

That dress is great though, and I love that it's from Target.

Your posts about your workout classes are encouraging. I am on a weight loss journey and I use your blog as motivation! And you dress cute, too!. Love the shoes. I wore a pair nearly exactly like yours today. They are my current fav pumps. Cheers!

Awww, that dress is very cute indeed. I tried it on but the length is waaaay too long for me.

@michelle—it's so rare for me to find a dress that's long enough so I was thrilled when this one turned out to be the perfect length!

I wish I had seen that dress when I was at Target! I hated almost everything there the other day!

great dress, the sleeve are so cute

I love that dress!
I really need to invest in a heart rate monitor. I don't trust the ones on the gym equipment, and I would love to see how many calories I am actually burning.
Summer says
LOVE the dress! And I love how your nude Jessica Simpson pumps go with everything…super cute!
Julie says
Wow I love that dress! It looks so much better on you then the model on the Target website. Adding the belt really makes a difference. I think I have to have it but it looks a little short for where I work, of course you're taller. It might work for me since Michelle said it's a big long. Do you mind sharing what size you purchased?
[email protected] says
@julie—I got a 6 but I wish they had a 4 because the 4 would have fit a bit better which is why I belted it. I think just above the knee is perfect for work.
Julie says
Also, I wish Target had an option where shoppers could post a pic. I wouldn't have given that dress a second look from the website b/c it looks shapeless and an odd shade of blue. On you it's perfection!
[email protected] says
aww thanks julie 🙂 that is a VERY good idea—and you should write to Target and suggest it!!!
Julie says
Oh I don't doubt that it's work appropriate. It's just that I work with kids so we're encouraged not to wear skirts/dresses that fall above the knee. Plus I'm a bit insecure about my legs;)
[email protected] says
ohhh I see what you mean! totally understand that in that situation it might be hard to wear a dress or skirt 🙂
Sherry says
Beautiful dress! Love it with the little belt too!
