It’s no secret, Target has a cult following and for good reason. If you’re shopping for home, baby, husband, or even yourself – whatever you need, you can probably find it at Target. Last week, I posted some new Target arrivals for both women and men. The Target posts were the most viewed and most purchased items since I’ve started this. Keep in mind I’ve only been writing and posting for a few weeks now (hehe), BUT people love Target.
If you want to check out the outfits I purchased in real time, head over to my Instagram stories where I will be trying on the four outfits pictured above. If Instagram stories is not your thing, continue reading to see if you need any of these looks in your closet this season.
This long sleeve smocked waist top in mint green was the first item to catch my eye while shopping the new arrivals. Initially it was the color I loved. I purchased this top in my usual size (medium) and pictured wearing it with high waisted jeans or shorts. Right now on Target’s website, this top is $20. This top paired perfectly with these high-rise frayed hem jean shorts. For $15, I was very surprised by the quality! I ordered the black, but these shorts also come in a light and medium jean wash, a white jean and a lavender color. The white is so cute and definitely on my list!! When I first tried these jeans on, I compared them to the Abercrombie Boyfriend Jean. The Abercrombie jeans were featured in my best denim jean shorts for the season post. These Target jeans could be yours for less than the Abercrombie jeans! Biggest selling point on these shorts – the frayed hem helps give some extra room in the thigh area which makes this pair of denim extra comfortable! These Daisy Slide Sandals paired nicely with this outfit. This style of sandal seems to be the trend this season. If you’re not willing to splurge on the trend, these sandals are $14.99 on Target’s website. They’re comfortable and true to size.
**To talk just a bit about my jewelry, my necklace is from the Rocksbox subscription box. Rocksbox is a subscription jewelry company that is $21 a month. Each month, they send you three pieces of jewelry. You have the choice to either pick out those three pieces or receive three surprise pieces. If you chose to purchase any piece of jewelry they send you, you are able to put that $21 credit towards your purchase. If you’re not interested in buying what they send, ship the items back for three more pieces! If you’re interested, you can use my code JacquelineBBFF148 for one free month of Rocksbox!
This Striped Balloon Sleeve Top & matching Striped Gray/White Shorts were the next outfit I tried on. With these try on sessions, I typically post one outfit that’s a bit out of my comfort zone and one “me” outfit. This was definitely a “me” outfit. It’s easy and it’s comfortable. I really love sets because you can just pull them right out of your closet and throw them on. No thinking about which top to wear with which bottom. And the easier the better especially with a little one. The top is $29.99 and I sized down to a small. The shorts are comfortable and I really like the length. One strange thing to note with these shorts, the shorts the model is wearing online have a drawstring. When looking at the description on the website, they explain these shorts as having a drawstring, but my shorts did not have a drawstring! Just an elastic waist. Either way, I will still be keeping these shorts, they still fit well. You can always wear this shirt/short combination with a belt to give you more shape at the waist. I paired this outfit with my Tory Burch Miller sandals.
You know I had to include a lounge outfit!! I saw these Beach Tapered Pants for $18 and thought they would be perfect for the transitional months when it’s still too cold to wear shorts, but when I wanted something other than leggings. This will probably be my “walking in the park” with Archie outfit. The pants came in two other fun colors (a coral and a lime green). I went the safe route and purchased the black pair, but I really wish I picked up the fun lime green color! The waistband is thick and comfortable. I paired these pants with this Snap Placket Tank $8 on the Target website and comes in so many different colors. The front buttons make it a great shirt for any breast feeding Mamas too!
Lastly, I purchased this Be Happy Tie Dye Sweatshirt and paired it with these High Waisted Biker Shorts. I envisioned this outfit on as I was at the beach this summer riding my bike on a beautiful day. The sweatshirt is $19.99 and I sized up to an XXL for an oversized fit with the biker shorts which are $12. I think these are the perfect biker shorts. I really like the biker short trend, but until these shorts, I haven’t been able to find the right pair! Most I’ve tried are simply too short, but these are a bit longer making them a great length for me.
