Hey friends and happy Monday, the last Monday of the month. This is where the year officially starts rolling in my mind.
Have you ever bought something on a whim only to have it turn in to one of the best purchases you ever made? Well that’s the exact thing happened to me when I bought this tunic…at Target of all places. I think we can all agree that Target has some really great fashions these days and I think I found this about the time they were really starting to up their game. I’ve probably had it 3-4 years and every fall, winter and spring it’s one of my favorite pieces. I also think I’m not alone because I see very similar pieces from time to time on websites, and Target even has this one that has very much the same feel currently. That means you could easily recreate this look for yourself.
When is black and white ever a bad choice? NEVER! I love them together, maybe a bit too much. My tunic is the perfect length for leggings and how I always choose to wear it. It’s also the perfect travel piece and one I wear frequently for that purpose too.
My favorite way to pattern mix is consistently stripes with leopard or plaid with leopard. In my humble opinion you can’t beat mixing those two together. And as if I haven’t said it enough times already, these leopard flats are one of my go-to pair of shoes. They go with so many things and I can walk and walk in them without killing my feet. I actually just had to replace them.
One of the ways I frequently wear this is layered under a vest, but this coat would be a great option for a colder day. So if you are looking for a piece that stands the test of time and seasons, then I’d suggest one of these tunics.
Here’s to a great (pre-Super Bowl) week.
Check out these very similar tunics I found for you.

The tunic looks so nice – I love the length. Hope you have a wonderful week!

I can totally see why it’s a fav and wishing it was in my closet, lol!! Love it with the leopard. It is amazing how much I crave these kinds of clothes now and not the professional wear I was forced to wear to the office. We couldn’t even wear capri’s or sleeveless! I loved most of it but I love being comfy so much more. You are looking Mighty Monday fine and I hope it is a great one for you! xoxo
Lisa Richardson says
You can borrow it?. I know you are loving wearing what ever you want these days. I’m so happy for you! XO
Kellyann says
You are always finding the very best things at Tar-Jay! I really like this with your vest and the leopard accents from your flats and the earrings! I may just pull the trigger and get those earrings. Stripes are always a good idea. Tunics are always a good idea. Together they are major winners! Happy Monday my precious friend!
xo,
Kellyann
Lisa Richardson says
Well I try. LOL. You should definitely get these earrings. I think they’re even on sale for a dollar or 2 less right now. They’re really nice, especially for the price.
Laura says
I’m loving the tunic styled with the vest and pops of leopard! This is such a transition look going into Spring! I wore my leopard earrings for the first time last Friday and then I went out and ordered a second pair in the light floral. Got to get all my shopping done before the big spending freeze next month! Looking good, Mama!!
Lisa Richardson says
Thanks friend. Is the spending freeze for Lent? (we don’t do that) Shop til’ you drop cutie!
Jaymie Ashcraft says

I love a good Target find, and that tunic has held up really well! Perfect idea for a travel outfit or just a cute and comfy, work from home outfit!

Jodie's Touch of Style says
I love that feeling. And as much as I try to think will I wear this, sometimes you are SO surprised.
That’s why I don’t get too upset over the things I buy and don’t wear as much….there are too many that I do love!!
XOOX

It’s a happy surprise when that happens
Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom says
That b/w tunic is just the perfect length and I love it with the vest and leopard flats. I saw some very similar earrings to those at Target in their Sugarfix (or whatever it is called) area. I almost got them last time I was in… I didn’t realize there was an Amazon look alike pair!

It really is such a great tunic and I hope it never wears out. The earrings are so light. They’re almost as light as N&S.
leaculp says
I like everything about that top, the length, the black and white/ecru stripes and the neck. So, so cute! Yes, much to our dismay here in La. it is Super Bowl week. Not sure if anyone from here will even watch it. :o))
Lisa Richardson says
Thanks Lea. It has been a favorite and I’ll be so sad when it wears out.
Julie Caron says
Oh, that’s cute. I have a similar one from JCrew and I wear it all the time. Love the stripes.

A stripped tunic! Fabulous! I really should buy a new stripped sweater, mine was worn out and I love a stripped sweater!
Lisa Richardson says
I’ve gotten quite the collection and still want more. I need to control myself. HA!
Ruth Maldonado says
Stripes are definitely a go to for me. I love this one and how cozy it looks!

What a great tunic! It looks really comfortable too! I love how you layered it with your vest!
