It's pretty safe to say that in the 33 years I've been alive I've never gone into Target and come out with what I went in for. Target is one of those stores that you must shop at your own risk because, quite simply, they have everything you could possibly need. It's an amazing problem to have. On one of my most recent trips in for a few household items I just happened to stroll past the women's apparel department. Needless to say, whatever was originally on my list instantly became a distant memory.
Since we are now in spring it's only right that I took a deep dive into their selection to see what new items they had in. As usual, I was not disappointed. The variety of options were endless, and the price points were even better. I'm a girl who loves nice things but also loves to keep as much money in my wallet as possible as well. So Target has become one of my go-to spots at the beginning of a season to load up on fashionable essentials. For me, spring means dresses, lots and lots of dresses. And I don't discriminate, I love different shapes, textures, colors, you name it I've probably bought it. The secret is to choose pieces that offer you optimal versatility so you can make as many outfits as possible out of a single item.
Denim Pinafore Dress
On top of the 8 other dresses, I fell in love with (yes you read that absolutely right, and that number is actually quite an understatement), there was one in particular that easily fulfilled my need for a versatile item. The Denim Pinafore Dress can be easily dressed up and dressed down, which is a major highlight for me. Lately, when I purchase an item I ask myself how many different ways can I wear this. If I cant come up with three off the top of my head then it doesn't come home with me. Think denim overalls but a teensy bit more feminine. Let the evidence of these pictures show, you will not likely run out of ways to style this dress. The best part, it's under $30.
Tshirt Dresses
A spring and summer staple that's simple, effortless, and feels like stylishly wearing loungewear out of the house. Last spring I was all about the muscle tee and that has absolutely rolled into this year as well, so this very bright Women's Sleeveless Tshirt Dress is right up my alley, or this Tie Dye Sleeveless Dress. If you're not really one for the shape of a loose-fitting, muscle tee dress, you can also stick with a classic ribbed cap sleeve dress for a more fitted silhouette, like this Short Sleeve Rib Knit Tshirt Dress.
Spaghetti and Tank Dresses
We also cannot deny it's going to be hot outside, and as the weather really heats up we want some options that require minimum coverage, yes more skin. If you're interested in something more dainty that's perfect for a picnic, or a brunch you should definitely take a look at the Sleeveless Button- Front Dress, Sleeveless Button Front Tiered Dress, or the Striped Tiered Tank Dress. Any of these are the perfect simple sundress for all of our spring shenanigans.
Babydoll Dresses
Babydoll dresses are a great option because they are able to transition well between warm and cooler months. Since we are all about cost saving over here, we want to get as much wear out of our pieces as we can. Some of my favorite options that Target has right now for this style are the Women's Puff Sleeve Dress, Babydoll Sweatshirt Dress, and the Long Sleeved Tiered Dress. Any of these would look amazing with a pair of tall knee-high boots in the fall.
We vowed that we were getting dressed this year and RSVP to all the things we couldn't do last spring. Therefore, we need options for all the looks we didn't have a reason to put on before. So if you're looking for a few new dresses for the spring Target absolutely has you covered. Check below to see all of the picks.
