Acquired Taste Blog: Weekly Specials 9/5
Intro: Each week, I post a blog dedicated to the “specials.” Like all fine establishments, there’s usually a seasonal or weekly special that deserves its own separate menu. Think of this blog as a limited menu with a lot to offer.
What: The best of the week. It could be a haul from the weekend or various ways I styled a classic piece. Whatever it may be, this weekly post intends to offer something *special.*
Why: I often receive inquiries about some of my favorite pieces, whether they be new or old. Instead of having to keep track of Instagram messages and links, I thought it might be easier for everyone to just have everything in one place each week.
When: Hitting the blog every Thursday.

Brand: Mod & Soul
Price: $
Ingredients: This lightweight dress is great for work or play! A simple oversized piece can be dressed up with tights and the right heels or a quick dress to throw on with your sneakers to hit the farmers market. Oh, and it has pockets! Because women have things to carry too.
Description: This dress runs a little large, but it is supposed to be an oversized, boxy fit. I’m wearing a small in the picture and it fits just right.
It is lightweight so if I were to dress it for colder months, I’d throw on an oversized cardigan or tights for warmth. However, for the last of the hot days this is a great, easy outfit for any occasion. If you need a last minute wedding dress or just a simple dress to serve a multitude of events, this is for you. Currently this dress is only available in black but rumor has it that more colors are coming soon.
Tip: Pieces like this don’t need a lot to add to them. I recommend pairing statement earrings or necklace and a classic pair of shoes.
Brand: Modern + Chic Boutique
Price: $
Ingredients: This faux leather key chain is evidence that Instagram ads can go right. I stumbled upon this bracelet through a random Instagram story ad and took a chance on buying it since it was only $9. I actually ordered two: black and brown, but there were over 20 colors to choose from.
Description: I’m notorious for picking up my keys and wallet and heading out the door. Living close enough to walk to many places, it’s not always necessary to carry a purse for a quick errand. However, when I end up shopping and carrying home things, it’s a pain to try and carry my keys. And to be honest, this happens more often than you would think. Because most clothes (unlike the dress above) don’t have pockets, I’m stuck carrying clunky keys. But no longer! I love the look of this key chain and how practical it is. Everyone will have these in their stocking this year. Sorry for the spoiler.
Tip: Order early and order multiple. These did take a while to ship since they were coming from a small boutique in Utah, so don’t expect one quickly if you’re in a rush.
