***TARGET SHOPPER ALERT***
I found the cutest line of clothes at Target. I think it just launched — like, literally just rolled out! — because when I walked into the store this week, the sales associates were pulling these huge racks of clothes, and they were stocking the displays and ooh-ing and ah-ing as they hung the shirts, dresses and sweaters, which, of course, stopped me in my tracks.
The line is called Universal Thread. It’s very J.Crew-meets-Levi’s, with a sprinkle of Ann Taylor on top. There’s lots of denim and prices mostly around $25, with different cuts of jeans, different washes and — get this — different lengths. I saw short, regular and long. And some cute mid- and high-rise styles, too.
Buuuuuuut I didn’t get any jeans, LOL! I grabbed a few tops instead because 1) they were adorable (hi), and 2) I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to find my size if I hesitated, so I just went for it.
I’m head-over-heels for this light blue denim button-up shirt.
It’s comfy heavyweight 100% cotton and has two pockets on the front (also seems well made). The fit’s on the looser side, too, so it fits like a boyfriend shirt, but it isn’t over-sized or anything.
I’ve been wanting something like this for ages to layer on top of dresses and tank tops. It’s perfect! And I have a feeling it’s going to last a long time.
I also grabbed this adorable striped shirt with bell sleeves. Like the denim shirt, it’s also 100% cotton (although it’s lighter weight and airy) and feels well made.
And look…
There are buttons on the back! Isn’t that such a cute touch? I’m gonna wear this with the dark wash Levi’s I’m wearing in these pics and either hoops or threaded earrings.
I smile 🙂 every time I see the sleeves in the dark blue cotton ruffle tee at the top… Aren’t those ruffles cute? They’re so swing-y and flow-y. I think this top will look cute ? with a pair of shorts — perhaps a lightly distressed pair of cutoffs…or maybe a bright pair of denim shorts.
Anywho, check ’em out next time you go to Tar-ghay. The prices are reasonable (the blue tee is $17.99, denim button-up is $19.99, and the striped top with bell sleeves is $22.99), and there are other cute things, along with the jeans and shirts. I also saw dresses, sweaters, tanks, tees and lots of accessories, too.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Oh, boy… TGIF this week, babe. BIG time. 🙂
That bell sleeve top is adorable. I may have to go seek it out for myself. TGIF!!!
Canadian Tuxedo? That is cute!
I love that they have different length jeans in store. I almost always have to buy shorter lengths online. Those tops are cute! I love the one with the bell sleeves. Happy Friday!
Ooh I love Target! A decent percentage of my wardrobe is from there lol. And I adore the denim shirt – but I already own two so maybe I should avoid Target for awhile ?
My roommate/bff works at Target in the clothes section and she texted me on her break the day these clothes came in because they’re so my cup of tea! There’s a top that’s kind of a square-neck, striped peasant top that comes in a red scheme or blue and white and I’m already planning to pick up the blue and white version on Sunday I really like that stripe bell-sleeve top too! And can I really have too many white and blue cotton tops for summer? I don’t think so.
When I first saw the collection I thought “Madewell” but I definitely see a J-Crewish vibe as well.
Wow you look absolutely stunning Karen!! I love your outfits… And I really really really love your make up!?? Can you please tell me what make up products you used?
Thanks so much for your lovely blog, have a great weekend!
Lots of love from the Netherlands
I told you that, didn’t I? Thanks for not calling me out and making Canada want to punch me. HAHA!
These are so cute! I actually thought your first shirt was velour at a quick glance and then realized it was denim. You’re right – lots of great details at very affordable prices! I’m glad you found some pieces you’re going to love for a long time. 🙂
What lipstick are you wearing?
Hi Jenny, I’m wearing a shade from Nudestix called Ally.
