I have a confession to make… I’ve been to Target a few too many times this Spring.
I usually have a lot of self control when it comes to Target. I know that it’s a magical place filled with all of the things you didn’t know you wanted, but my dancer’s budget doesn’t usually allow me to go crazy like I want to. But, I’ve been working a lot more than normal and I actually needed to update my work wardrobe. Plus Target is really affordable and their new clothing lines are really awesome!
I bought a few new work outfits, accessories, and a new rain coat (totally necessary right now,ugh).
Here’s the rundown on what I bought, including overall reviews and specifics on sizing.
For reference..I am 5′ 4″ and my measurements(in) are 34, 27, 37.
1.) Women’s Striped Shirt Sleeve Wrap Dress – A New Day™ Black
I love this cute wrap dress from A New Day. Everything at Target seems to run HUGE(anyone else feel this way?). I bought this in an XS and it fits perfectly on my 5′ 4″ athletic build. It’s super flattering and comfortable. Great coverage, though it might be appropriate to wear shorts underneath on a windy day ;).
2.) Women’s Striped Short Sleeve Tie Waist Jumpsuit – A New Day™ Gray/White
This is another item that runs big. This jumpsuit is super cute. The wide legs tricked me into thinking it was a dress on the hanger! I bought it in a small and it’s a tad big, but still fits well. I saw a lot of negative reviews about how hard it is to get off. I haven’t had a problem with that, but I think it’s because it’s a little big on me? I’m not complaining! It’s There’s elastic in the waist and a zipper on the side. It’s so comfortable.
3.) Women’s Short Sleeve Button Down Shirt – Universal Thread™
I reviewed this shirt in my other post. I have it in olive, white, and striped. I’m obsessed with it. I have it in XS. It’s another item that runs huge. I have broad shoulders and a big rib cage, so I usually hate shopping button downs, but this fits wonderfully (that’s why I got it every color).
4.) Women’s Anorak Jacket – A New Day™
I bought this jacket in black. It’s a great rain coat! Definitely best for light/medium rain coverage though. I needed a small, since it’s a little tight in the sleeves. I love all 3 colors that it comes in. I love the cinched waist and little “duck tail” on the back. It’s very flattering. I hate when coats make me look like a large blob. It’s casual, but also works with a dressier outfit.
I also got both of these pairs of earrings. They are both lightweight and super cute. I especially love the Ball Drop earrings and wish I had them in a few other colors!

I would love to hear from you about your Target clothing shopping experiences! I want to know if I’m the only one that thinks everything runs HUGE.
Thanks for reading! xx
