I forgot that today would be like a Monday, but the show must go on, no?

Today’s post is Target heavy! I really didn’t shop clothing at Target much this summer at all after a very successful Target winter. I found a sweater and a vest last winter that I loved. Alas, at the end of this summer I found linen pants and then two basic but with nice details tops to wear with solids or printed bottoms.

I bought the pants in all three colors, but returned the black since I have other black options. I kept the white and the polka dot. I would say these stretch out a bit and you might need to size down. I was happy that they came in short length. I paid $21 for each pair on sale.

The shirt I am wearing I bought in both the white and the black. It’s pretty lightweight. I paid $25 but they are now on sale for $17.

I am pleased with the pants and the tops. I don’t necessarily want to buy Target clothing but I got sucked in.

Here is me in the black top and white pants:

Now let’s talk about the CicyBell jeans. They are available on Amazon and the stripe down the side just had me swooning. I already have a pair with a stripe down the side from Halara so why did I think I needed more? Why am I the way that I am? I paid to have them hemmed because the stripe doesn’t come in petite or extra petite length. I am 5’4 and the extra petite length in Halara (that only comes in some styles) is perfect. Because they are elastic waist, you can pull them up higher or lower them to your liking, too.

The CicyBell are very similar to the Halara, but here they are on me. They don’t come in different lengths, either. I have on about a 2 inch heel.

They are very, very long. I think the Halara are a little better quality and because I have washed and worn them so many times I can attest that they hold up well. So, I am happy that I am still a big fan of Halara. The Cicy Bell went back.

Let’s talk about the CicyBell oversized button up. I look like a security guard. It is pretty thick material and is pretty well made, but it did not work for me and it went back, too.

Me in the combo:

Now I look like I have my dad’s security guard uniform on for dress-up.

I also wore this dress this week to play mah jong and go to dinner. It is old Walmart Free Assembly.

This was my boating outfit on Sunday:

We talked about my sister’s wedding which happened 5 days before my twins were born. I was only 30 weeks pregnant so we didn’t know this at the time.

Hope you enjoyed those!
