SPRING SHOE EDIT: TARGET EDITION

Happy Monday, friends and welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend full of self-care and good weather. I know Coachella kicked off this weekend; did any of you brave the massive crowds and attend the festivities?! While I live for all of the fun outfit photos on Instagram, there is no way I could swing Coachella; my anxiety is not set up for that kind of crowd…I can barely make it through Music Midtown (lol). Anyways, while everyone was living their best life on my Instagram feed, I was chilling at home watching baseball, The Masters (holy comeback from Tiger) and perusing the Target weekly add! While looking through the add, I saw that shoes for the family are currently BOGO 50% off; which is perfect considering I just posted a photo on my feed of all of my favorite shoes for spring! I thought I would hop on and share my favorite sandals/mules/wedges for the upcoming season (all affordable and from Target) and share some that are currently in my cart! As always, I will list and link everything below, so let’s jump right in!

**Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links**

Kersha Embellished Slides • Velma Pointy Mules • Adelina Wedge Sandals

Velma Pointy Mules (pink) • Dv Bryn Asymmetrical Sandals

**Now before I get started, I know some of these are already sold out; however, they should be restocking soon. If you have your heart set on a specific pair, keep checking the website (and I’ll keep an eye out too!), I’m sure they’ll be back soon!**

1. Kersha Embellished Slides – $22.99: How cute are these sandals?! I’m obsessed with champagne/rose gold hues and think the embellished straps make them a great option for dressier occasions! I sized up a 1/2 size to an 8 but probably could have stuck with true size. Note: They also come in a black color option!

2. Velma Pointy Toe Mules – $22.99: I’ve raved about these mules more than once on my blog, and I still stand by them today! I’ve ordered 2 of the pink and recently snagged the gray! I love the pointed toe detail, I think they’re super flattering on the foot and incredibly comfortable (IMO). I sized up a 1/2 size to an 8 and think they fit like a glove!

3. Adelina Wedge Sandals – $32.99: I finally gave into the wedge trend and snagged this pair last week! They are the perfect height to wear with summer midi and maxi dresses, jean skirts, shorts or even jeans. I sized up a 1/2 size to an 8 and find them to be incredibly comfortable and easy to wear!

4. Dv Bryn Asymmetrical Sandals – $22.99: Okay, I know almost every size in every shade is sold out, but y’all, these are worth checking in on. They’re super cute, easy to wear and the asymmetrical line makes it different than your average slide sandal! I’m swooning over the bright coral shade and plan on picking up a pair as soon as they’re back in stock. NOTE: I stuck with my true size (7.5).

WHAT’S IN MY CART!

Mad Love Adia Bow Slides • Reese Quilted Sneakers • Striped Knotted Bow Slides

Jenny Slide • Rylie Knotted Slides • Dv Bryn Asymmetrical Sandals

HA! So as you can tell from the image above, I have a thing for slide-style sandals; they’re easy to throw on and compliment just about any look! As for sizing, I typically go up about a 1/2 a size in slides; however, for the last pair and the quilted sneakers, I will stick to my true 7.5!

So that wraps up this Target spring shoe edit; I hope you guys enjoyed it and found some fun spring inspo! What are your go-to spring/summer shoes?! Are you a sandal gal? Or do you stick to sneakers and regular flip-flops?! Leave a comment down below and let’s chat!

XOXO,

OLD NAVY SPRING FAVES + GIVEAWAY

Happy Friday, friends and welcome back! I know it’s been a while since you’ve seen my face around here, and if you’ve read my last couple of posts, you probably know why. To make a long story short, I’m feeling overwhelmed and under-appreciated in the blogging universe, and just haven’t had the desire to pour my time into something that isn’t bringing me joy. However, I told myself that when I found/had something on my heart that I wanted to share, I would…so here I am! As you can tell by the title, I’m sharing some of my favorite Old Navy items that are perfect for the transition into spring! I don’t know what the weather is like where you guys are, but it’s finally starting to warm up here in Atlanta! Yesterday we hit 80 and despite the rain, today we’re hoovering around 78 degrees (praise hands)! Anyways, let me stop rambling about this glorious weather and get into the picks! Oh! And before I forget, as mentioned in the title, I have a giveaway going on over on Instagram that I will share more about at the end of the blog, so stay tuned for that!

*Old Navy is currently offering 50% off all dresses, shorts, tees and polos for the upcoming Easter holiday!**

Fit & Flare Midi Dress • Rib-Knit Tank • Distressed Denim Jacket • Slouchy V-Neck Cardigan

High-Rise Distressed Straight Leg Jeans • Floral Split-Neck Blouse • Tortoise Sunnies

Mid-Rise Twill Shorts • Sleeveless V-Neck Top • USA Towel • Palm Pool Slides

Tie-Hem Linen Shirt • Mid-Rise Boyfriend Shorts • Wrap Front Swimsuit

1. Fit & Flare Midi Dress – Orig: $39.99 / Sale: $19.99: I am absolutely obsessed with this dress; it’s the perfect length for Easter Sunday or a sweet spring wedding. It comes in a variety of patterns/colors, has a subtle v-neck and is flattering on a multitude of body types. I sized down to a medium given that there’s a stretchy panel in the back and think it fits like a dream! How cute would this be paired with some strappy sandals or a fun pair of wedges?!

2. Rib-Knit Tank Top – Orig: $9.99 / Sale: $5.00: These are my favorite fitted tanks for layering. They have great length, look wonderful tucked into dress pants, jeans or shorts and easily pair with a cardigan or blazer for those chilly office environments! Fits TTS (I can wear both M & L).

3. Distressed Denim Jacket – Orig: $44.99 / Sale: $38: Denim jackets are all the rage right now and I totally see why; they literally go with EVERYTHING! They’re warm enough for the chilly spring nights but light enough to wear during the day without dying of a heat stroke! Fits TTS and comes in a variety of different washes!

4. Slouchy V-Neck Cardigan – Orig: $34.99 / Sale: $27.99: If you’ve been around a while then you know I’m the queen of cardigans, and this bad boy is a staple piece in my every day wardrobe. While this isn’t as long a most of my cardigans, the slouchy fit give it enough length to keep me comfortable. Fits TTS and come in a variety of colors (the yellow is too fun to pass up)!

5. High-Rise Distressed Straight Leg Jeans – Orig: $49.99 / Sale: $30: Y’all, I can’t say enough good things about these jeans. I have been itching for a pair of distressed/straight-leg denim that didn’t make me look like a box and I have finally found them. Given my body shape, they are pretty fitted through the knee area and then subtly get wider towards the end of my calf/ankle. They feature a high-rise waist, thicker material (more structured with a teeny amount of stretch) and IMO are a great “grown-up” jean option! They fit TTS (8) and come in a few different washes! NOTE: You can get an extra 20% off today at checkout!

6. Floral Split-Neck Blouse – Orig: $26.99 / Sale: $21.59: These are my go-to blouses for the office; they’re lightweight (perfect for spring and summer) slouchy and ultra flattering. Old Navy is constantly debuting new patterns/colors every season; so if you’re looking for something that’s easy to throw on but still keeps you looking polished, I would recommend picking up a couple of these! Fit TTS.

7. Tortoise Sunnies – Orig: $12.99 / Sale: $10: I mean what is there to really say about these? They’re tortoise sunnies! They’re cute, cheap and perfect for a day at the park (or beach :)!

8. Mid-Rise Twill Shorts – Orig: $24.99 / Sale: $12.50: I like to call these my “adult” shorts. If I’m ever going somewhere with parents/grandparents/church members (you get the idea), I like wearing a pair of these. They offer great coverage and are a bit more dressy than your typical denim shorts for summer. NOTE: If you’re between sizes or a bit curvier on the bottom, SIZE UP!

9. Sleeveless V-Neck Top – Orig: $24.99 / Sale: $15: Much like the long-sleeve split-neck top mentioned above, this is great for the office and comes in a variety of patterns/colors. If you’re dress code allows it, I think these can be worn without a cardigan/blazer while still remaining polished in most business casual settings. Fit TTS. NOTE: You can get an extra 20% off today at checkout!

10. USA Towel – Orig: $12 / Sale – $9.60: The perfect towel for summer! If you guys have been around a while, then you know I’m obsessed with all things American flag themed; tumblers, shirts, koozies; you name it, I love it. If you’re not a red, white and blue kinda gal (or guy), they have a ton of different options to choose from.

11. Palm Pool Slides – Orig: $16.99 / Sale: $11: A classic pair of pool slides; everyone needs them. If you’re between sizes, go up!

12. Tie-Hem Linen Shirt – Orig: $32.99 / Sale: $26.39: How cute would this be with a pair of denim shorts or mid/high-rise jeans? Even though it features a tie-hem in the front, it offers enough length to not feel too cropped! The pastel stripes are perfect for spring and the linen material will keep you cool and fresh all season long. Fits TTS!

13. Mid-Rise Boyfriend Shorts – Orig: $34.99 / Sale: $12.50: If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of denim shorts that don’t show your cheeks/squeeze your thighs, these are it! I think the light wash will be perfect when I get a tan (I’m coming for you bronzing mousse) and the non-distressed look make them a great option for church outings, family functions or really any event where holey shorts aren’t appropriate – lol! Fit TTS.

14. Wrap-Front Swimsuit – Orig: $45 / Sale: $36: It’s that time of year again…swimsuit season (yikes, I’m not ready). As much as I love a fun 2-piece bikini option, I’m much more comfortable in a one-piece swimmy. This suit has pretty good coverage (though it does sit a little higher on the hips) and gives you the prettiest silhouette. It’s flattering in a variety of ways and feels like it will hold up well throughout the season. Fits TTS and also comes in a tall version (which I would highly recommend if you’re taller than 5’4″ ish)!
