Each week, we're turning to some of our favorite fashion bloggers for tips on when to splurge and when to save. Next up, we're chatting with the fearless and fabulous Lauren of The Pear Shape!

Earlier I shared some photos of the shoes at Target, now here's a look at some of the fashions. Nothing really screamed "buy me" but there were a few nice pieces worth noting. Let's start with the polka dot blazer by Merona (above, $34.99) - who can resist polka dots? Speaking of irresistible, the juniors section had a few trendy animal motif sweaters that made me smile (but I think I'm too old to actually wear a bunny sweater). Moving on - Mossimo has some of the most fashion forward pieces, included a black moto vest and plaid short sleeve sweater. Merona delivers great staples, like a pencil skirt in leopard print or houndstooth. And if you're looking for a basic denim jacket, cargo jacket or chambray shirt, you'll find all of them at Target for under $35 each.

Are the selections at Target a bit boring right now or is it just my store?

A chiffon trim sweatshirt by Clu is $205 at Net-a-porter.com. See how Cupcakes & Cashmere's Emily wears her olive green Clu sweatshirt here.

While this sweatshirt only comes in gray/pink or ivory/floral, it's a similar concept for a lot less. Shop it for just $24.99 at target.com.

The day before the 3.1 Phillip Lim launch, I made a quick trip to Target to see what was new in the shoe department. Ankle boots are still going strong and with good reason; you can wear them with skinny jeans and even certain skirts and dresses. They're cute and usually comfortable which is why I can never seem to have enough pairs! This season, I think the Mossimo "Kyla" buckle boots ($24.49, target.com) are really strong as well as the Merona "Kaitlin" olive green ankle boots ($24.49, target.com). Both look more expensive than they actually are, and the green coloration on the "Kaitlin" is a welcome change from taupe and black. In the pumps department, I am loving the Sam & Libby "Dominique" ($39.99, target.com) in cabernet - such a great color! The only thing lacking at my store was tall boots - I only spotted one pair and it wasn't too impressive.
