Summer Styles from Target

SUMMER STYLES FROM TARGET - SMART SOUTHERN STYLE BLOG

Hard to believe that it is already the second week of July! It has been in the 80s and 90s here, so I have been dressing cool and comfy this summer. I found quite a few cute styles from Target recently that will keep you cool this summer, and they won’t break the bank. Every item I am sharing is priced below $30! I am sharing sizing details and links to shop under each photo.

Both this PUFF SLEEVE TOP and RED MIDI SKIRT are so versatile. The PUFF SLEEVE TOP is a thicker materials and the sleeves are so fun! The shirt is not very long, so I recommend wearing it with a skirt or high waisted shorts or jeans. It runs true to size and I am wearing a medium. The RED MIDI SKIRT has a pretty outer layer of eyelet and three ruffles. It has an elastic drawstring waist and a nice fit. It runs true to size and I am wearing a medium. This LAYERED NECKLACE is also from Target and goes with so many different outfits.

This TIE DYE DRESS will be in heavy rotation this summer. It is soft and comfy and I love the length. It comes just an inch or two above my knees, so it is not too short. (I am 5’5” for reference.) It runs true to size and I am wearing a medium. And how cute is this RAINBOW PURSE?!? I actually found this in the kid’s section at Target for $15 and thought it would be a fun way to add some color to my summer outfits. Also, you’ll see that my puppy Bandit snuck in a few photos as well as some on my try on videos on Instagram!

Who else loves tacos? If so, this TACO TEE is for you! I shared it on my social media recently and several of you purchased it. It runs small, so I suggest sizing up. I am wearing a large.

I found several cute graphic tees and shorts at Target including this JOHNNY CASH TEE which is fun and versatile. Wear it by itself now and in the fall you can layer it under a cardigan. I recommend sizing up in the tee if you want a roomier fit. I sized up to a large. I paired the tee with these CAMO SHORTS. They have a 4” inseam so they aren’t super short. They are made of a nice chino material and run true to size. The GOLD SANDALS I am wearing are a best seller at Target. I bought mine last year and the sandals are back this season because they were so popular. They run true to size and have a nice cushion so they are comfy.

I shared this BLACK MIDI DRESS on my feed recently and several of you purchased it. It is such a great dress! Simple yet versatile. It has cuffed sleeves and small slits at the bottom. It has a roomy fit, but I recommend sticking with your regular size. I am in a medium.

This CHOOSE HAPPY TANK has been added to my workout tank collection. It is soft and comfy and I like the longer length. It has large arm holes and you can see part of your bra under the arms , so I just plan to wear it working out. I recommend sizing up in the tank. The LEOPARD TEE is a great basic and I like the longer length. It runs small, so I suggest sizing up. I am wearing a size large. I paired both tees with CUFFED DENIM SHORTS that have just a little distressing and a nice amount of stretch. I find that the shorts run a bit small, so I recommend sizing up. I am wearing my regular size here and they were too snug for my liking.

This $20 MIDI DRESS has been one of your most purchased items in the last month and I can see why! It has a flattering fit and is very comfy too.  I love it so much I bought it in both camo and black and it comes in several other colors as well. The dress runs true to size and I am wearing a medium.

When I saw this tee that said “I am my best self when I’m holding a holding a mojito”, I knew I had to have it! I very rarely drink, but when I do, I love a good mojito! This MOJITO TEE has a very light tie dye print on it. It has a roomy fit, so I suggest getting your regular t-shirt size. I am wearing a medium. These LIGHT WASH DENIM SHORTS are one of my favorite recent Target finds! They are super soft and have lots of stretch. They have a 4” inseam so they aren’t too short and run true to size.

This red RUFFLE DRESS was also popular when I shared it on social media recently. I love the ruffles on the sleeves and the skirt. It hits at a nice length about 1-2 inches above my knee. (I am 5’5”.) It is slightly low cut but with the tassels tied at the neck, you cannot see any cleavage! It is fully lined and also comes in white. The dress has a roomy fit and if you are not busty you could probably size down. I am wearing my regular size medium.

One more graphic tee to share…. This MTV TEE reminds me of watching music videos on MTV as a kid! I love the cactus theme too. I recommend sizing up and I am wearing a large. This tee is selling out quickly, so I found some other cute MTV tees HERE, HERE & HERE.

This NAVY LEOPARD PRINT DRESS has such a flattering fit. It goes in at the waist and lays nicely on the body. It comes in a few different prints and is $30. I find that the dress runs large and recommend sizing down. I am wearing a size small. This black LAYERED NECKLACE I shared above also looks great with this dress. And here is a closer look at the cute RAINBOW PURSE I shared above.

Edited this post after it was published because I forgot to share this cute FLORAL SWIMSUIT. I love the colors and the ruffle that wraps around the top of the suit. It comes with optional straps you can attach if you want more support. The swimsuit provides great bum coverage and support as well! I am wearing the swimsuit with the LIGHT WASH DENIM SHORTS I shared above. The swimsuit runs true to size and I am wearing a medium.

I am doing a full try on session over on my INSTAGRAM stories, and saved it under the “Target” highlight if you want to take a look. I hope you found a few items to add to your summer wardrobe.
