This entire outfit falls into that elusive category of 'Things That Look Way More Expensive Than They Are.'

Man, I love that category.

I twittered about this dress twice because I knew it would sell out before I could get it photographed and posted -- it cost a whopping $39.99 from the Thakoon for Target line. I've been wearing it constantly -- I even threw it on for a meeting with a producer last week when I wanted to look confident and professional, but still totally fun. There's nothing like wearing bright colors to make you feel energetic and excited -- I layered a black cardigan on top and was good to go! (Let's hope the dress brought me some luck!)

These shoes are almost sold out too! (I guess that means I have good taste, right?) These little stunners are by Jessica Simpson and $98 -- I know they're a little bit of a design rip-off, but I think the whole trend of crazy structural details in shoes is likely to be short-lived, and at under $100, I can embrace it without feeling like it's a major investment. And they are just so cool looking!

The sunglasses are from Forever 21, and I love their totally 80's vibe -- I feel like I should be wearing some leg warmers with them. Which can be arranged. ;-)
