Shop the new AVA & VIV collection in stores and online
After looking for a monochromatic grey marl look for some time, I found a perfect pairing in these jogger pants and slouchy top from AVA and VIV, the new plus-size collection at Target.

The Challenge
Target is one those places where I’ll go because I might just need some makeup wipes and I end up coming home with a new scarf, a novelty mug, and an oh-so-cute seasonal greeting card—and the wipes if I remember them. Last time I was there, I went to the new AVA & VIV section and finally got a chance to see the collection in real life. I limited myself to $50 because (like you) I have so much clothes! I found plenty of pieces in the $20-25 range, including both of these. This outfit is a great example of making the most of your wardrobe. When shopping, I keep in mind what I already have in my closet and how new pieces might be used to create a completely new look.
The Look
I’m in love with this chic weekend look that I put together. Wore it to enjoy a lunch date with my husband. If you want to recreate this look, you’ll need joggers, a slouchy top, a long blazer or duster coat, and some statement accessories. I ended up playing up the black tie on the joggers with bows on my heels. Cream and grey run through my glasses and necklace, keeping with my grey theme. Added blush in my bag, jacket, (and my nails!) for a feminine touch.
More Ideas
I’ve already worn both pieces with sneakers and a denim jacket for a trip to the park with Julia. The joggers are SO nice to lounge in around my home and office. For that “Parisian fashion editor” look, you could wear the pants with a satin camisole and a tuxedo jacket. Or for a cute mom-on-the-go look, the top is long enough to wear with leggings—I’d just add a top bun and some fun flats.
Have you seen this collection in person? Let me know!
This look is beautiful! I love how you described all the different ways you can style the pieces you got. It really got me thinking. I did a fitting room review of a few pieces from AVA & VIV too. I liked several and liked how they could mix and match. I have been eyeing a few of their bathing suits too.

Thank you Janeane, it always helps me to envision at least three ways I can wear something–that way, I feel more confident about buying. My local Target didn’t have swimsuits yet, but I did see them online. Please share a link here to your post so I (and anyone else) can read it! xo
I’m having a blush moment! Where is that jacket from? I need it!
Here’s a link to the jacket: http://rstyle.me/n/xpt9vm4t6
So, when this first came out and everybody sort of dragged I was on that band wagon as well, but I think that it’s safe to say that you don’t have to wear it like the models, you add your personal touches and come up with something that’s reflective of your own personal style. I really think you managed to do that here and do it perfectly. I’ve tried the sweat pants and jogger, but they never look good on me, but I’m loving this look and I think the blush coat kicks it up a notch.
Where can I find the blush coat?

Thank you!
I just knew I had to wait to see the collection in real life, so I waited to form an opinion. One of my earliest blog posts featured a lime jacket I found at Target–either Mossimo or Cherokee–I loved it and it lasted me years. So I know Target can get it right. I’m excited for their fall collection.
Some other more unique pieces from AVA and VIV that I liked: the citron tissue blouse, the black and white pants, the grey blazer. I try to approach any new line or shop by finding something that fits my style and can work with my existing wardrobe. The pieces I focused on in this post are simple, but super versatile. And as I wanted to show, simple can be chic too! Styling is key.
