Summer Styles from Target


Hard to believe that it's Memorial Day weekend and summer is just around the corner!  I am always looking for a few cute affordable pieces to add to my wardrobe with each new season.  I found a bunch of cute summer items recently at Target, so I wanted to share those with you all. I am doing a try-on session on my Instagram Stories with all of these items, so you can get a full fit review.  I am also going to save the try-on session to a highlight labeled "Target" on my Instagram profile.  If you don't already follow me on Instagram, you can find me HERE.

This first outfit may be my favorite.  I love a good kimono as I think they are flattering and so versatile!  The colors in this RED KIMONO are so vibrant and pretty.  The kimono runs true to size and if you are in between sizes, size down.  I paired the kimono with some OFF WHITE BUTTON FLY JEANS that are also from Target.  I love that the jeans are cream verses the usual off white.  They are a good quality thick material and not see through at all!  I think they run true to size.


I love this pretty BUTTON FRONT DRESS! It has functional buttons and small slits on each side at the bottom. It comes with a sash but would also look good with a leather belt  This dress would also look cute paired with a denim jacket for those cooler evenings.  It also comes in black if red is not your color.  The dress runs true to size and I think it would look good on all body types.


Casual comfortable dresses are my summer uniform and this STRIPED TANK DRESS will definitely be in heavy rotation.  I am wearing my regular dress size, but you could size down if you are not busty.


This outfit is another favorite as I love how versatile each piece is.  This FLUTTER SLEEVE TOP has such cute details!  It has 2 layers of ruffles on the sleeves and I love the pretty print.  The top has buttons that go down the back and it runs true to size.  You could also wear this top with some black or navy pants for a workwear look.  I have been looking for a longer length DENIM SKIRT and was happy to find this one.  It hits mid-knee on me (I am 5'5") and has an unfinished hem.  I recommend sizing up one from your standard jean size in this skirt.  

TRAPEZE DRESS - $37

I love the style of this TRAPEZE DRESS! It has a collar, functional buttons and cuffed sleeves.  It is made of a sturdy cotton and is great quality.  I will say that is you are taller than 5'6", this dress may be a little too short.  I sized down from my regular dress size and would recommend that for the best fit.


I can always find great basics at Target.  This CAMO TEE runs true to size and I recommend sizing up one size from your regular jean size in these DARK WASH FRAYED HEM SHORTS.  I also have these shorts in a light wash which you can find HERE.  I also really like these BUTTON FLY SHORTS & recommend sizing up in them as well.  The camo tee also comes in other colors such as this BLACK TEE & WHITE TEE.  You can't beat the prices as the tees are all $8 and the shorts are $17.


I love loose flowy dresses, so I was excited when I saw this BOHO DRESS.  It has tassels that you can tie at the neck and is a good length.  The sleeves have snug elastic at the ends, but I do not think it is uncomfortable.  I would recommend sizing down from your standard dress size. 

In several of my outfits, I am wearing the same pair of TASSEL EARRINGS and COLORFUL SLIDE SANDALS that are also from Target.  You can see how versatile they both are, as they go with so many different outfits!  The earrings are only $13 and are great quality.  The slide sandals are only $23, go with everything and run true to size.  The reviews on line say that the shoes run narrow, but I have slightly wide feet and my regular shoe size fits great.
