Classically Abby - Classy, Modest, And INEXPENSIVE： I Shop At TARGET ｜｜ 5 Classic Outfits On A Budget

00:00:00.000 Hello classic crew and welcome to today's video where I'm going to be showing you how to look

00:00:05.000 classy and elegant while shopping at Target. So my mom was recently visiting to help my husband

00:00:13.780 and me unpack the house and it was really nice because she just did an incredible job but on the

00:00:19.680 rare moment that we decided to actually just take some quality time and spend some time together

00:00:23.800 we went to Target for fun. We decided to go to Target for some quality time. I love Target,

00:00:29.240 I'm sure you do as well. Target is amazing. We all go in with one thing to buy and end up leaving

00:00:35.280 with a cart full of things and so I thought a little Target trip would be fun. So when we went

00:00:40.060 inside I love looking at their clothes but my mom said to me I don't know how you make their clothes

00:00:44.160 look expensive. I've never been able to find clothing there that I think looks expensive.

00:00:49.100 Well by the end of that day she had bought me a few different things as a birthday present because my

00:00:53.780 birthday is coming up and I'd also found a dress that she loved even though she didn't know that

00:00:58.320 she loved it until we brought it home and she tried it on because you can't try it on in Target

00:01:01.380 right now with the pandemic restrictions. But she did end up agreeing with me that you could

00:01:07.220 definitely find clothing there that looks expensive or you can style and make look even better. So I was

00:01:13.360 really excited to share these looks with you especially because right now Target has some amazing

00:01:20.100 modest clothing. Really beautiful and on top of being beautiful it also looks classic. So I just

00:01:26.440 absolutely loved that they had such a wide variety of clothes right now that were really appropriate

00:01:31.800 for someone like me who wants a classic elegant and modest wardrobe and I did it all without

00:01:37.020 breaking the bank. So I'm really excited to share these outfits with you today. I think you'll really

00:01:42.200 enjoy them. I'm going to link everything in the description box below so if you want to try something

00:01:46.940 you definitely can. So let's get into it. The first look I want to share with you today is this blue dress.

00:01:52.520 So this was actually the first dress that I saw with my mom when we went into the store and the two

00:01:56.860 of us just both fell in love with it. It is so modest. It has these beautiful puffy sleeves, this

00:02:02.740 beautiful length, very boho looking. I really enjoy that and the pattern I really enjoy as well. I think

00:02:08.160 it's really feminine and pretty but it's kind of a unique color and I loved the high neck. I thought that

00:02:13.820 was really pretty. I also really enjoyed that it wasn't totally fitted because that gives you the

00:02:18.660 opportunity to wear this in two different ways. So the first way that I wore it is without a belt

00:02:22.440 just really easy and flowy, very feminine. It doesn't really cling on to any curves. You could

00:02:27.820 definitely wear this and eat as much as you wanted and not worry about it and something I've been

00:02:32.580 loving this season, something that I can't wait to keep wearing is a midi dress with ankle boots. I

00:02:38.300 think that is so flattering. Not the kind of booties that hit below the ankle but the ones that actually

00:02:42.660 come up above the ankle. That is just so flattering to me, so feminine, really makes you look attractive

00:02:49.360 and this is a dress that I think looks great with a pair of boots. These boots I also got from Target.

00:02:54.180 I think they look so expensive. I'm absolutely in love with them and I think with this outfit it is

00:02:59.240 perfect. I paired this dress with a pair of kind of wooden earrings that I felt went with that bohemian

00:03:06.320 style. A friend of mine actually gave me these earrings as a bridesmaid's gift when I was in her

00:03:10.520 wedding this summer and so I just thought they went really well with this dress. They're a statement

00:03:14.480 earring but they're not competing with the outfit because they're not a bright color or a bright

00:03:19.000 pattern. They're pretty simple and I like that they're kind of almost minimalistic in the design

00:03:24.560 and then I wore it with my Nord green navy blue watch. I loved the navy blue with this. I liked that

00:03:29.940 it was minimalistic. It didn't really compete with the outfit but it just kind of elevated it and made

00:03:34.480 it look even more elegant. So that was the first way that I wore this dress. Now the second way that I wore

00:03:39.100 this dress was by pairing it with a brown belt. I thought putting this brown belt on here really

00:03:43.600 accentuates the waist and it's just a totally different look. It makes the dress look like a

00:03:48.500 totally different dress which I love. You could wear it without the belt one day and then wear it with

00:03:52.500 the belt another day and it looks like two different outfits and that's really cool. And I just threw this

00:03:56.420 belt on. It matches the boots and it goes with the rest of the outfit. I chose a wider belt here but I

00:04:01.820 think you could actually also wear a bit of a thinner belt. Not a super thin belt but just kind of like a belt

00:04:06.740 that you might wear with jeans would also look good with this and I really enjoy how it really defines the

00:04:12.220 waist and gives you just a little bit of extra shape. This is the kind of dress that you could 0.88

00:04:16.620 definitely wear to a brunch with your girlfriends or maybe out to a farmer's market. I think it's really

00:04:22.740 feminine and a good addition to any modest wardrobe. Number two is this black and white dress and I really

00:04:28.900 liked this dress because again it had a similar feel to that last dress with the puffier sleeves, the higher

00:04:34.160 neckline and the longer length but it feels entirely different because it has a stretchy waistband. So it

00:04:40.420 does bring in that waist a little bit more than the other dress did which was just loose and flowy 0.88

00:04:45.580 and it has this really intense black and white pattern which I really like. I think it is a statement

00:04:52.420 in and of itself and so I decided to make that the center point of the whole outfit. I didn't want to

00:04:57.140 compete with that pattern. I felt that this pattern spoke for itself. So I paired this outfit with a pair of

00:05:02.920 high-heeled boots. This is one of the only ways I think you can wear a boot that goes up to the knee

00:05:08.160 with a midi skirt is by wearing a heeled boot that does that. So by doing that it kind of dresses up

00:05:13.740 the whole look. I decided to make this a little bit fancier so I put on these heeled boots and then

00:05:18.260 I paired it with this black belt. I just liked the idea of kind of defining the waist even more

00:05:23.620 than the actual ruched part because then by putting a black belt around the waist it really brings

00:05:29.660 attention to your waist. So I really liked the way that that looked and then keeping in that idea 0.99

00:05:34.520 of not taking attention away from the pattern of the dress I just put on a really simple silver cuff

00:05:39.860 which I thought was very pretty and very simple but didn't really compete and these really simple

00:05:45.220 black earrings that again just kind of went with the outfit to go with the outfit but don't necessarily

00:05:50.560 take attention away from the dress. I think this is a really nice outfit. Honestly you could wear

00:05:54.940 this to work. I think it's very appropriate for a work day and then if you wanted to wear it to

00:05:59.440 dinner you could definitely transition it over the course of the day because it is a little bit more

00:06:03.460 dressy. Outfit number three is definitely the most casual of all three outfits and I was so excited to

00:06:09.040 share this one with you because this is the kind of top that I think is really good for a pair of

00:06:13.380 leggings. So there's definitely been some controversy about are leggings pants and can you wear something

00:06:19.060 over them or what do you have to do to make them modest? I am of the opinion that not that

00:06:24.560 leggings aren't pants they they are but that you should definitely wear a shirt that covers your

00:06:29.560 bottom when you're going to wear a pair of leggings because I don't think that they're particularly

00:06:33.040 modest. So this shirt was the perfect fit for that. It is something that really does a great job of

00:06:39.560 covering up that lower region when you're wearing leggings but you can still go out and run errands

00:06:44.320 and play with your kids and it's very comfortable. It has pockets which I think is really cool and it's

00:06:48.720 something that really elevates the leggings. It doesn't make it look like you're just wearing something

00:06:52.480 that's schlubby. You're wearing something that is modest but also has a little bit of style which I

00:06:57.500 love. I also adore the color of this shirt so I am really excited that I found it. My mom actually

00:07:03.580 picked it up and said you should try this. I think this would be great for you when you want to run

00:07:06.820 errands and I totally agree. So this is just a really great top if you're somebody who wants to wear

00:07:11.400 leggings but still wants to be modest. I also have these shoes from Target which I love. I don't know that

00:07:17.320 they're still available but they definitely have similar options. I wear these to work out in. I wear

00:07:21.480 these to run errands. I just think that they are the most flattering pair of tennis shoes while also

00:07:26.660 being so comfortable. I wore them all over the British Isles when my husband and I went on a

00:07:30.500 cruise and I was never in pain. They were just really comfortable and easy to wear and they're

00:07:35.400 perfect with this outfit which I am very happy about. And then I wanted to just pair it with some

00:07:39.980 tiny little feminine jewelry. I didn't want the jewelry to compete with the outfit. I didn't want it to

00:07:44.680 become something where you had to wear big statement jewelry with something that's very casual.

00:07:48.460 So I just put on these tiny little hoops and a little heart necklace something that was not going

00:07:53.440 to draw attention away from the outfit but was just going to add a little something. Outfit number four

00:07:58.420 is this jean dress. I love this dress so much. It's really hard to find an affordable dress that is

00:08:05.840 actually fitted and that fits you well. So this actually runs a little bit big. I bought this in

00:08:09.840 an extra small. I'm not usually an extra small but it fits me in that size and I just love the fit of

00:08:16.000 it. I think it is so so flattering. It's got the very tight bodice. It has a square neckline which I

00:08:23.320 think is beautiful. It has these beautiful ruched sleeves. The whole design of it is just stunning and

00:08:28.820 so modest. I just am I'm in love with it. So I decided to dress it up but you could definitely dress

00:08:34.440 this down too. I mean it's a jean dress so it's never going to be that dressy but you can definitely

00:08:39.580 choose to wear it with boots or you could wear it with a pair of heels. So for this video I decided

00:08:43.860 to do a pair of heels. I didn't want to take any attention away from the dress because I just think

00:08:48.260 it is so beautiful. So I put on these navy heels. They have a little ankle strap that's just very

00:08:53.340 attractive but they don't compete with the dress. They just kind of add to it which I absolutely love

00:08:58.820 and then I put on a pearl necklace. I love this pearl necklace from Pearl Source. I think it is

00:09:04.620 absolutely beautiful and stunning and I also love the idea of a round necklace with a square neckline

00:09:11.660 as opposed to a pendant. I think that that's a very attractive thing. It kind of has this interplay

00:09:16.540 of shapes which I think is beautiful and a pearl necklace is a perfect way to do that. Pearls are one

00:09:21.240 of the most classic pieces of jewelry. You can't convince me otherwise so I thought that that would be

00:09:25.900 really pretty to pair. Again it also plays into the idea of white and navy, my favorite color

00:09:30.420 combination so I just decided to play into that. And then I wore these earrings that are fake pearls

00:09:36.040 that I actually got off of Amazon. I wore these on my wedding day so they have a little bit of an extra

00:09:40.420 meaning but they're kind of a little bit dressy without being a statement earring which I thought

00:09:45.420 was a very good fit for this outfit. And I could definitely see wearing this dress out to a pumpkin patch

00:09:51.100 maybe not with the accessories that I chose but you could totally do that and you could definitely wear

00:09:55.140 this out to a lunch with someone and you would look perfect. The last outfit I want to show you

00:10:00.280 today is one of my absolute favorites. So I saw this skirt when I was at Target and my first thought

00:10:05.280 was I had seen this skirt paired with sweaters on Pinterest quite a few times. And I actually bought

00:10:10.260 this skirt from Target and the sweater from Target separately but then I realized that they actually

00:10:14.140 looked amazing paired together. So I put them together and I love this outfit. This is a very in-style

00:10:19.620 look for the fall and winter season is the satin skirt and the sweater combo. And it's just very

00:10:25.060 flattering because it's more fitted on the bottom. It has that silk satiny texture on the bottom and

00:10:29.720 then you have the heavy wool a little bit more boxy look on top. And just that pairing looks awesome.

00:10:35.760 It is so pretty. I love this outfit so much. And I paired it with these statement heels which I

00:10:42.600 love. You guys know this is one of my favorite pairs of shoes that I own and I loved that the embroidery

00:10:47.820 on the back matched the skirt. And the strappy shoe really goes with the outfit. Kind of the bottom is

00:10:53.020 this kind of almost sultry looking skirt and shoe combination. But then you have the sweater which

00:10:58.700 just makes it look more modest and I just really appreciate that. And then I put it with these

00:11:03.640 beautiful drop pearl earrings. I think these are absolutely stunning with this look. I wanted to have

00:11:09.880 some statement pieces with this look. I actually think that the statement pieces for this look are going

00:11:15.040 to make the outfit. The skirt and the top together, the skirt and the sweater together look great. But

00:11:19.900 the shoes, the bracelet, and the earrings are what really elevate it and make it perfect for a night

00:11:24.680 out, a holiday party. I think this would be perfect for a holiday party. So I loved this bracelet with

00:11:31.200 this as well because it just again brought a lot of sparkle to this outfit, made it feel very holiday

00:11:36.140 to me. And I cannot wait to wear it once holiday parties are back in session, back in swing.

00:11:42.660 And I'm very excited about that. So this was one of my favorite looks. I loved the length of this

00:11:48.460 skirt. But it definitely is something that has to be worn with a heel. If you don't wear this skirt

00:11:52.920 with a heel, it won't be flattering. But wearing it with a heel will look great. So that's it for all

00:11:57.480 of the looks that I put together for this video. I love shopping at Target. I love buying inexpensive

00:12:03.060 clothing and making them look expensive. 99% of my clothing is really inexpensive. I get it at TJ Maxx,

00:12:09.720 Kohl's, Target, on sale. Anywhere I go, I buy stuff that is pretty inexpensive. And I just find ways to dress

00:12:16.900 it up, pair it with accessories that make it look even more expensive. And if I can do that with a Target

00:12:22.440 budget, I can do it with anything because Target is awesome. They have really inexpensive clothing and they

00:12:28.060 have such beautiful, modest options right now. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Let me know in the

00:12:33.260 comments which of these outfits was your favorite. I'd love to hear. Thank you guys so much for
