Recent Purchases 7

Waffle Knit Knot Top in Dark Green: I got this top for Christmas and I really like it! I've been eyeing it for a while and was happy to receive it. The dark green color is nice, it's longer in the back (not quite tunic length, but close.) which is great, and the tie is adjustable. The buttons are also functional if that matters to you or not.

A lot of the reviews recommend sizing up two sizes for a looser fit, but I only sized up one size and it's a bit baggy. I wanted it kind of fitted, but not too tight or anything. It's meant to be a baggy fit so just take that into account if you're thinking of purchasing it.

Daily Ritual tunic tee in Medium Blue and Dusty Rose: I really like these tees! It's so hard to find decent tunic length tees (I'm 5'8" and they're never long enough!) and these are great! The medium blue is a really pretty color and the dusty rose is somewhere between red and pink. It's not a true rose color as it's close to red, but definitely not a red either. It's just lighter in color than in the picture. I wear these all the time and would highly recommend them! They're fairly inexpensive too which is great!

No Show socks from Amazon: Normally I wouldn't even mention socks, but I think we've all had issues finding decent no-show socks. These had a lot of good reviews so I thought I would have them a try and I was really surprised at how great they are! They truly stay on and don't slide off. 

They have a rubber grip along the back of the heel to keep them on and they do stay on. I've worn them with multiple types of shoes (loafers, flats, oxfords.) and they've stayed on every time. The material is not too thin but also not too thick either. 

Women's Short Sleeve V-Neck Button-Front Tie Waist Dress in Red: This dress is listed as red but it is definitely more of a burnt orange like in the picture. This typically is not a color I would gravitate towards, but I liked the style of the dress a lot and decided to just get it anyways. There are a couple of other colors (a mint green, lilac, and yellow) but I ended up liking the red the best. Overall just a cute spring dress.

Women's Floral Print Puff Short Sleeve Button-Front Dress in Red: The Universal Thread line at Target has been doing a great job with dresses this season and considering how much I like vintage inspired styles, this was one dress I just couldn't pass up! 

The print is a little busier than I would normally prefer, but overall I really like this dress.

Luxe Printed Swing Tank in Burgundy Dot: These tanks from Old Navy are always a favorite of mine. I think I share one every time I do one of these posts because I like them so much! It doesn't look like this color is available any longer, but there are always new colors and prints coming out!

Mid-Rise Linen-Blend Shorts in Red Sumac: These shorts are also a favorite of mine. I already have them in black and chambray, and decided to get the red as well. I really prefer lightweight shorts in the summer and these are great. I find them to be a bit pricey for the quality at full price (I mean, they're nice quality, but $27 for shorts at Old Navy seems like a lot.), but they're frequently on sale which is great.
