Off the Rack: No Sign of A+ by Aldo at My Target But Here's What I Saw Instead

New fall shoes and clothes - need to make a Target run!!
Earlier this week I visited Target to see if the new A+ by Aldo collection had made its debut yet, but sadly it had not. I've seen some pics on Instagram of the bags cropping up at other stores in other parts of the country but no luck in my area just yet. If you've seen the new Aldo shoes or bags, let me know, I'm dying to see them in real life! If you're as excited as me and can't wait to get your hands on some A+, you can shop a few styles online on sale (buy one get one half off!!)...but I'm waiting to try stuff on. I'm in love with the navy Emery boots and this Mulberry-inspired bag...drool.

Until Aldo arrives, we can console ourselves with some other new arrivals from Merona, Mossimo and Sam & Libby. If I were to buy a new pair of ankle boots it would have to be these chic and versatile Denise wedge booties. I tried on the Eliza leopard booties but for $45, they're not quite right. The hunt for leopard booties continues. Maybe this pair at Old Navy?

In the clothing department I noticed a cool faux-suede shift dress that's very on-trend for fall and some new burgundy pieces with leather accents. In the handbag section I was loving all the Merona Timeless Collection bags. I bought the burgundy bag you'll see below (can't find it online) but I'm not sure if I'll keep it yet as it was $45 and I paid full price. Who does that?! I also bought a black wool hat because clearly the gray one I bought during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale isn't enough. Once again I may return it because I paid full price. Impulse buy. My excuse is that we were just trying to find some relief from the heatwave in our area (thermometer on my dash said 97!)

Take a look and see if anything catches your eye - the hidden wedge boot is one of those styles I'm seeing everywhere! Have you bought any boots yet? Which do you recommend?

I picked up this Liz Lange t-shirt dress in black (I already own the striped version and love it). Size small. 29 weeks. "Mommy, can we go now?"

I got the A+ shoes! I got the brown booties one with the tie on the side. It cost 47.00$ with tax. I saw it cheaper earlier online. It was on sale at first. I needed to try it on though. Really liked the one I bought. Looks really cute and felt comfortable for as high as the heel is. P.s. I love your blog. It's my favorite to check everyday! Keep up the great work!

Aw yay!! Thank you so much!! And thanks for the scoop...I had those brown booties in my shopping cart, too! Looove them but just don't get to wear heels as much lately so I'm waiting. I'm glad to hear they look and fit well.

I love these posts! I have been thinking about getting a gray bootie and I LOVE the buckle one from Sam & Libby. I have a pair of leopard booties from Nine West. I got it a few years ago. I'm really picky about what the print looks like (no idea why) and I got them for like $40. I just checked their website and they have a few for 25% off, but the price is still a bit steep.

Just found a couple of the A+ styles at my local store. Except for the boots with suede side-tie, they're all pretty cheap-looking, very plastic-y. You'd be better off just waiting for a sale on regular Aldo shoes.

Oh that's disappointing. I came across one lone A+ bag at Target yesterday and I'm glad I didn't order it online for $44.99...didn't look worth it. However there's a BOGO sale going on now so I could possibly justify the sale price...possibly...
