Yesterday Caroline and I went to Target after school because she decided she needed some new mechanical pencils to get her through the last three weeks of school. And then as we were walking to the checkout lane, she glanced over at the kids’ clothing department and something caught her eye.
A pair of overall shorts.
She rarely asks me to buy her anything in the way of clothing. Which is probably for the best because it would be my kryptonite.
And so I bought her the overalls even though I know from personal experience they could later lead to fashion regret. But apparently the irresistible siren song of overall shorts is in our blood.
Here are some things that are cuter than overall shorts:
A couple of weeks ago on Mad Men, Megan Draper had on a crochet mini skirt. And I kind of loved it. It made me wonder why we cast crochet aside as a viable clothing option.
This dress has gotten great reviews and I bet you can find in on sale at some point because Gap is always offering 30-40% off. It would be great paired with a colorful scarf or with a denim jacket on over it. Or both.
This is a little pricey, but it’s so gorgeous that I had to include it. Apparently Mad Men is totally influencing my fashion preferences because this is so Betty Draper. How great would this look with white pants or over a simple white shift dress for a summer wedding?
4. lenore floral print kimono dress
See? I’m all about the 60’s and 70’s right now. Love the colors in this and it’s a great price for a fun dress or even to wear as a tunic over leggings.
5. embroidered & lace babydoll dress
This is like a fresher version of the Free People flowy trapeze tunic. I love the detail on the bottom and think it would look so cute layered over a t-shirt or tank with skinny jeans. I have a top that’s similar to this that I bought at a garage sale for $5.00. It was possibly one of the bargain highlights of my life.
6. brighter than print maxi dress
I adore this. And I totally think you could wear a tank or a bandeau under it if that’s your preference. It would also look great with a denim jacket on top.
Love these earrings. I got a pair of turquoise earrings for Mother’s Day and I’ve basically worn them with everything I’ve worn since then.
Yesterday when we walked in Target they had all these Merona tote bags lined up and I fell in love with them. Sadly, I am not in the market for a tote bag, but I would absolutely buy one of these if I were. They’re perfect for a weekend getaway or to take to the pool or lake. Or even the beach.
9. old navy embroidered gauze tops
I think this is really pretty. Perfect to wear with shorts or jeans.
10. old navy sleeveless cross-front tops
A few weeks ago I went in Old Navy and tried on this top in a large because they only had one in stock. I loved it even though it was too big and searched the store for a smaller size only to be disappointed. Now I realize it’s because they are only available online and I guess the one I found was one that someone returned to the store. Anyway, it’s a great top at a great price and this look is so in right now.
There you have it.
Have a great Friday.
