Target is one of the few stores I have actually been going inside of these days. Not only does it have the household essentials that I sometimes need to grab (Purell, toilet paper, that kind of thing). But it’s also a hotspot for teachers doing prep during summer, thanks to their huge Back to School area (which usually opens as early as July!) and their famous Dollar Spot Deals.
But whenever I go to Target, I can’t help but wander through their clothing aisles and end up with a handful (or sometimes an armful) of cute items. I definitely am not comfortable going into fitting rooms right now, which means I end up buying a bunch of stuff to take home and try on (after letting it sit for three days so the germs can die)!
After several trips to Target, I finally feel like I have a summer wardrobe happening (months of sheltering-in-place meant clothing shopping was mostly leggings and sweatshirts)! So many of these items are versatile enough to wear in or out of the classroom. But mostly they are just great casual summer staples. And I can keep them all because Target’s prices are so affordable!
Here are my favorites:
- Overalls: These overalls are so fun and comfy. They are super stretchy, which is must in my book, and the pockets are actually functional! I could see myself wearing these to school with a puff sleeve blouse and some high-top slip-on sneakers. These overalls run big, so I sized down.
- Tie-Dye Sweatshirt: I have to admit, I am loving the tie-dye trend. I was so excited to find this sweatshirt and even more excited that the fit was so nice. I went one size up so that it would be a little loose. The colors are so summery, I just love them!
- White Cut-Off Shorts: These white Levi shorts might be my favorite item I found. They are the perfect short-shorts – flattering, but still trendy. I love the distressed look. I definitely won’t be wearing these to school, but I they will still get plenty of use this summer! Levi’s run small, so order up if you’re between sizes.
- T-Shirt Dress: I’ve been wanting to add a T-shirt dress to my wardrobe, and this one is the winner! I love the muted teal, and the slightly loose fit, and the just-right length. I can’t wait to style it with a jean jacket, baseball cap, and flip-flops! Runs big, so go down if between sizes.
- The Perfect White T: I’ve been on the search for the perfect white T, and I finally found it! I wanted an oversized fit with a crewneck. This shirt is just the right sturdiness. I went two sizes up to get the perfect oversized feel. Did I mention it’s only $9? I’ll probably have to go back for more!!
- Just-Right Shorts: It’s so hard to find shorts that aren’t too short to wear to work. These are pushing it, but I think I could get away with wearing these to school if I paired them with a nice blouse and some sensible flats. But they may just end up being summer shorts. The color is great because it’s so neutral it goes with everything!
Which look do you like the best?
