Target for clothing is really hit or miss with me. I usually find something I like, but then when I try it on I’m between sizes. Always. The bust will fit but it will pull at the hips. Or the waist will fit but the thighs are too tight. Oh the issues with shopping for a pear shaped body. Anyway, it’s one of the many, many reason I love wearing dresses all summer. They’re easy, breezy and seriously super comfortable.
So back to Target. Over the weekend Stephen went in to pick up a few t-shirts and I took a spin through women’s clothing. I came across this dress and was immediately drawn to it– mostly the ikat print skirt. I tried on this one and another in a different color way and took home the black and purple one. Turns out, next day I’m still thinking of this one. Black and purple dress went back and this one came home. It’s $20 of fabulous.
Personally, I would never wear it with heels like the model (it’s a jersey top and plain cotton bottom) but I think with my t-strap flats it looks fab.
Oh, and seriously I don’t think anything on the Target website is flattering on models. They could seriously learn a thing or two from J.Crew.

OH MY GOSH! How cute! I went and looked at some other things and your observation about the models/modeling is SO TRUE. I am going to Target this weekend…
The Bee Charmer bought some new towels that I am coveting…
Thanks Julie! The towels are totally on my list of things to get. She’s convinced me they’re fabulous. (We’ll she and House Beautiful Magazine!)
