Target Try On – The One with the Coat

You guys – did you see my latest Target try on videos on IG stories? I had a really honest moment in the middle of the try on. I told you that I literally lost my breath when I saw one of the items on the rack. I was kind of embarrassed to even say that out loud! BUT I have a feeling a few of you know what I mean and can relate! I have been wanting a coat like this for a long time and to finally see what that is affordable was BREATHTAKING (insert 50% seriousness and 50% sarcasm).

This try on featured a few options for holiday dressing – do you know what you’re wearing for Thanksgiving and the holidays? I am not a great plan ahead’er but doing this try on session started to get my ideas rolling.

Fancy Bow Loafers – Target Try On

During the time when Soren goes to preschool, Espen and I hit Target for the usual items. And by usual items, I mean a long stroll through the apparel area with a side stroll through the shoe aisle. On this particular day, I found a pair of loafers that closely resemble these loafers from Anthropologie (these are pink…but they’re similar, right?).

I proceeded to try on a handful of items – all paired with this pair of loafers – and while you may not be able to tell in the videos I post on Instagram, Espen was throwing goldfish at me the entire time. It was a fun little game. And then I clean them all up at the end. He helps 0%.

Let’s get on with the try on! Here are some shots from the try on session!

The One with the Hat & Two Monkeys

The morning was one of those mornings…where we did not get out of our PJ’s until 10:30. That sounds really nice and idyllic but it wasn’t. The boys were cranky and taking turns screaming all morning. I’m realizing more and more that I need routine – and part of that routine is getting up and getting ready for the day. It’s so nice to have a lazy morning, but it throws all of us off our schedule which leads to mayhem.

So we went to Target to buy cold medicine and a new toothbrush. Just the essentials, right? But of course we strolled through my favorite aisles and found a few goodies to share with you. Here we go!

First up was a faux fur vest. A few nights ago, I was strolling through Target (weird, I was there earlier this week?) and I was wearing my faux fur vest that is from 2005. I bought it at Gap and it has held up well! Not to mention it’s cycled through a few rounds of the fur trend cycle. Anyway, another woman complimented my vest and I told her it was vintage (aka old). I told her to keep her eye out because Target would surely carry a similar item soon! Well what do you know – a few days later, this guy showed up!

I’m posting a lot of pictures of the same outfit because…it captures the essence of the mood in the fitting room. I want to publicly apologize to the Edina Target for the insane amount of noise coming from our room as well as the amount of crushed animal crackers left on the floor.

I also tried on on (& bought) this hat. I am just a mom, wishing I had more time to shower, needing a hat to cover up my hair. So I found this guy and ended up bringing him home.

Next I found this cream/blue stripe top. It was a little too big, but would make a great top for a casual look with jeans. It was so soft and fit true to size.

I also tried on this cozy sweatshirt dress. I explained this is my Instagram stories, but while I love this item, I struggle to style it. If it were black, I would have no problem, but since it’s navy blue, I don’t know what to pair with it. I think it would be great worn with bare legs and brown booties, but that’s not practical for MN winters. I think if you pair it with jeans, it’s too much blue…and so maybe you just pair it with black leggings. I don’t know – it’s up to you how you want to style it – but I can tell you that it was super comfy and fit great!

Lastly I tried on a top in a rust color – my favorite color of the season! It was beautiful and would look great with a pair of denim and boots or heels. My only callout for this top was that it ran a little bit small. I am almost always a small in this brand, but ended up sizing to a medium and it still felt a tad small for my preference. It also came in a navy blue with multi colored dots. Very cute!

Thanks for following along. I hope you enjoyed the photo collection of the boys – I am sure you can only imagine all of the songs Soren was singing and all of the food Espen ate off of the floor! Aghh!!
