It has been HOT in Texas lately. I’m talking…
it feels like THIS!! I’m all about cover-ups and tank tops in the summer. But at this point, I’ve reached my max. It is time for some cooler weather, scarves, and booties. Unfortunately, here in Texas I don’t see relief in sight.
Sunday at church one of my girlfriends, Amber, had on the cutest tank top. I asked her about it and guess where she told me it was from…
I mean. Don’t we all love Target? I went in for a couple things yesterday and walked out with so much stuff in my cart that all my kids had to walk! #howdoesthathappen
Ryan gets it. For some reason Tab doesn’t. hahaha!
Thanks to my girl, Amber, I made a couple trips through the clothing department and thought I’d share a few of my favorites…
This flannel shirt went home with me. It’s super thick (not thin and cheapy feeling at all). I love the buffalo plaid on the inside and it was plenty long. Sometimes button ups like this can be too short on me, but this shirt wasn’t at all. The sizing on some things were all over the board. I got an XS in this shirt. Unfortunately, I’ve spent tons of time searching Target online to give you a link and it’s NOT on their website anywhere!!! Boo!
This tank was the one Amber was wearing at church. It was very Anthropologie-ish. So cute! But again…MIA on the website.
I remember last year sharing similar mixed media jackets and not wanting to spend much on one. This one was perfect at under $35. I got a medium in this jacket.
I had to show you my little Vanna White. 🙂
This long cardigan was cute, but it was a little too small. I needed a medium.
**A little addition to this post**
I text messaged Amber to make sure I could reference her. We discussed our Target trips and she was so sweet and sent me a couple of her Target finds to share with you.
Do I have the cutest friends or what?? Her picture is WAY better than me holding it up! haha! Isn’t that tank cute?? For size reference, she got a medium. She said she would have preferred a small, but they only had a medium so she made it work. I LOVE this tank!
SO cute!! And…it looked great with her cute Kendra earrings!
And Amber scored this popover. She has to dress up for work everyday, and this top is perfect. It can be dressed up or down and will go with tons. I’m loving her cute wedges!!
Love it!! Adorable with white, chambray, denim, or black!
Amber, thanks so much for helping me out today!! This was fun. Maybe we should do another virtual shopping trip together again soon. XOXO
I thought I was going to show you some super affordable cute goodies today. It would have been so easy to shop from home, but it just didn’t work out that way. Sorry, ladies. I guess now you should go into Target for some toilet paper and try a few of these on along the way. Ryan will understand. 🙂
Happy Wednesday, Girls!! XOXO
I actually got that tank this weekend. I was so excited to find it. It is so cute!!!
I'm so jealous!! I wanted it in my size!
Love that flannel!! I will be checking my local target for it!! 🙂 Also, where are your jeans shorts from? LOVE them!!!
Thank you!! They're from Gap last year.
Amber is such a doll!! That flannel shirt! I'm going in today to snatch it up!! Love!!
Her outfit on Sunday was so cute!
Amber's tank is darling! And I LOVE that first shirt on you! I just got a black and white shirt like that with a contrasting fabric inside and it looks so cute cuffed! p.s. Target's website makes me ragey.
Girl!! Me too! I was ragey last night working on this post!
I've found some cute clothes at Target lately. I agree, the sizing is all over the place, which doesn't always make a girl feel good! But the price tag sure does 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
The sizing was all over the board! It probably had something to do with juniors and women's but I couldn't tell where one ended and the other began. Ha!
Thank you for sharing! I love your style so much, seriously. Cute finds and affordable. Yeah, girl!
Thanks, Hilary!
I love, love, love that media jacket!!!
I did too!
I LOVE me some Target!! As a stay at home mom to 2 little girls, it is basically my home base! Ha! A little tip for finding things online…if you download the target app, there is a scanner on it. You can scan items when your in the store (like if you want a size they don't have in store or something) and it will show you the online item. Trying to find something on Targets website without scanning it can be like a needle in a haystack. Hope that helps!
Thanks Robin!! This is so good to know. I flipped through every Merona shirt online and that plaid was no where to be found.
Love that plaid shirt. Target always has such fun adorable things !!!
Thanks!! I thought it was cute too!
Love so many of the items but my favorite is the jean jacket. Do you happen to know if that one is online? And if not what brand is it at Target? Thanks so much!
I couldn't find anything online. Seriously I would search "women tops" and little boy tees would pop up!! It's Mossimo. 🙂
Awesome finds! Guess where I'm headed now?? Come on kids, we're going to Target!
This does NOT help my Target obsession! Seriously!! That top Amber has on is ADORABLE and that flannel shirt…Ohhhh Love!!!!
My kids asked when we were walking in the other day why "Target" is named "Target" so my husband quickly replied: "because it targets our bank account", and then changed it to "actually, it targets our marriage!" Haha!
Awesome finds! Guess where I'm headed today:) Thanks Erika!
Ebby Lee is cracking me up in the background! I love the grey tank too – and I just stocked up on bathing suits for next year at Target – clearance buys are my FAV!
Your friend Amber is a doll. I love her sassy short hair! She's gorgeous!
Also, loving that plaid shirt on you! Looks awesome!
Hi, what color nail polish are you wearing? Love it!
Who doesn't love Target? I'm there at least twice a week! Love the cute tank 🙂
I can't afford to go twice a week!!! I always spend way too much!
I am LOVING that plaid button down. I'm going to Target tonight and will definitely be checking to see if they have it!

Um y'all are adorable and I NEVER looked that cute when I go to target! I NEED that plaid shirt, like may have to run and get it today!
Linds @ not a mom
I resisted trying that tank on in target last week, I may have to go back bc it looks so cute on! I loved it in the store! I live in Arizona, so we are in the same, hot, boat as Texas! However, this summer has been more humid than normal, so I think that's worse than our normal hot hot! I too in looking forward to fall weather (but it doesn't cool down & stay cool here until Halloween usually, oy!) & cute, fall clothes!
🙂 Rebecca
Love the plaid shirt! It goes with my college colors for alumni games 🙂 What brand is it?
Merona. 🙂
You look amazing in all of those clothes! That Ebby Lee has some great genes coming her way as she gets older 🙂
Ha! Your post had me laughing hard at the beginning. I need to show Ryan that Gosling photo. He doesn't get it either 🙂 Those clothes are super cute on you! You look great! I got THE cutest dressy tank at Target this summer too. I love Target!
Hi Erika!
Can you tell me what brand the tank top, plaid shirt and long cardigan are? Thanks! Christina
The tank is Xhiliration, the plaid is Merona, and I don't know on the cardigan. Sorry!
I got the tank this morning (thank you!!) and saw an XS at the Target off of Park and the tollway. Just guessing that might be the size you're looking for!
Went Monday te. Back today after reading your post lol Ahhh my bank account hates me! But I got 3 cute new tops 🙂
