3 of my items are scheduled to be delivered today & the other tomorrow! That was fast!

Seeing @ColdSteel ’s descriptions of everything makes me want to head over to Target later today! I have 2 stores equal distance from my house! This really takes me back years! :lol:

Okay! Back from an exciting trip to Target. There were some items still in stock, mostly numbered size dresses and the outerwear. Thought the sleeveless wind thing with a hood was cute but… I need sleeves. The apron was also cute but also on the thinner side. I have a Hedley and Bennett apron that serves me very well and puts up with my spirited cooking.

I picked the two things I wanted to try on that I couldn’t ship or buy online pick up in store. Oh and the pouch set and a crossbody for Miss “I sure don’t need more pouches in my life!”

I am about 5’ 7” and change and wearing a Medium in the gingko dress and a 10 in the mini. The sweater material feels very nice and the right kind of weight. Not too thin, not too heavy. Hit about midi on me.

I tried both an 8 and a 10 in the mini dress but the 10 was the better fit—I’d say these ran true to size. It feels more like crepe in the hands than a prickly poly.

The jumpsuits and wrap dresses felt like slightly heavier target jersey wrap dress/dress fare, but I have my own little curated collection of those.

These definitely feel like good Target Designer items!!

I received the long sleeve B&W dress and the sleeveless light blue dress today
The coral sleveless dress and wrap top will arrive tomorrow

The B&W long sleeve dress is a lot like the DFV dresses I've always liked -- soft, silky cotton/lyocell combination
The light blue sleeveless dress is stretchy sweater like material (viscose/polyester blend)
The wrap of the sleeveless dress is higher which I like because I'm short and short waisted. The wrap of the L/S dress hits more at my natural waist. As of now, I'm definitely going to keep the l/s dress. On the fence about the blue one. I'll probably keep either this one or the coral one that comes tomorrow (same style/material/diff color)

You will need to forgive me -- its been a loonnnnggggg time since I've shared pics of myself
Due to health issues, I've gained a lot of weight & I'm not as confident as I once was
But I think we're "old friends" here and I know how helpful it can be for others to see, so here it goes . . .

That yellow dress looks so good on you!!
The coral looks great too
I don't know how ya'll have so much confidence to wear wrap dresses with nothing underneath
I've never been able to do it -- always have to wear a tank or half bra & keep the girls well tucked! :lol:

If I'm in a work or otherwise professional setting I usually do! They usually stay in a pretty SFW position but after a little moving around we're a little more after hours :lol:

I just tried on the sweater knit pants and they're a definite keeper. I liked the top they were styled with but I feel like I wouldn't get as much wear out of the top as I would the pants. Sure, it's a set, but I try to be a little more thoughtful about things in the old wardrobe these days. Your picks look beautiful! The patterns are really pretty and that blue is gorgeous.

I got to take a peek at the sheets/duvet stuff in store and I know I'll like it. I usually buy my sheets at Target anyway!

The bigger bags looked nice, I'm actually super happy with the crossbody one. Great size, lightweight.

Didn’t grab too many pics but I did take one of the apron for the curious.

Caved and ordered the green knit top to go with the pants. Would look nice over some smooth-fronted pants or leggings, for that matter. or as a lighter weight layer for a dress! Would totally also work layered over a tee. Also got the geo arrow dress, M was out of stock so L it is. I do love my wrap dresses, I talked myself into this one for its composition and washability. I do most of my DVF in gentle cycle, dry flat anyway but maybe something I'm a little less protective of.

The top should show up in my pickup order along with a ton of Peeps that I am most assuredly not going to obsessively save until Easter and then devour, no ma'am :lol: . Dress should be getting here tomorrow per the order screen.

I like the geo jumpsuit but it doesn't look the easiest to take off. I prefer the material that the Lilly Pulitzer x Target one is made of anway.

Ah, Peeps, Spindrift seltzer, and Target designer collabs... that's what the Easter bunny brought me this year!

I like the collections, just don't have the patience for the madness. I still think the best was Missoni, in terms of quality. From this collection, I wanted houseware items. My mother stumbled upon a few things this morning and got those for me.


I keep crossing my fingers hoping for a DVF collaboration, but at the same time I think 'nah, because THAT would be total madness x 10' lol

Ahhh DVF would be nice :smile: Idk in what capacity they would collab, DVF for H&M or DVF for Target. It would still be interesting. I can imagine the wrap dresses, shoes, accessories, and housewares.

Next on my list… a floor length mirror.

I am loving the wrap sweater top. Got a size M. The slight bell in the sleeve, the barely asymmetric hem. Reminds me of something my grandmother would have worn in the best way possible.

you look great!
I ordered this one and the B&W one
Ordered 2 sizes to make sure I got the one that fit best!
I have a feeling these are the pieces I'm going to get the most wear from

Can I ask -- are these long enough to wear with leggings? Thats how I thought I'd wear them

Thank you and @cecchetti and @A bottle of Red !

Definitely long enough, I think! I have a short torso/short waist and I have a couple inches of tunic at the back. I will definitely be pairing mine with leggings too. I swear I'm allergic to sweatpants but miss that warmth and these are perfect for that early spring "nice day" to "chill evening" weather.
