At night, you’ll want to go for something deeper and warmer, maybe even a solid color with a pair of pumps.

Spicing this ensemble up with a pair of stan smiths will do the trick and making this outfit not only brunch appropriate but hip, trendy and super comfortable because who has time to wear heels and possibly risk being inebriated? We aren’t advocating for risky behavior at all, but just in case wear some comfy shoes.

More specifically the homebody who hasn’t yet gotten hip to the fact that you can now pay people to grocery shop for you in the comfort of your home. Thus, you’ve got to get on out of the house and head to target for your essentials and maybe grab a pair of shoes or two. 

Wearing a maxi dress is also super chill! Throw on your dress and a pair of birkenstocks and do all your shopping for the month. Depending on how cold Target is, maybe even throw on a denim jacket. You’ll not only scratch some things off your to-do list but you’ll be hella cute while doing so!
