Happy Monday!! We had a long weekend over here. Not long like we got an extra day to have some fun… Long like my entire family, except me, is really sick. I feel so bad for them all! I know this crazy sickness is going around but I am just waiting for that break we are going to catch. We all stayed in our pjs, and consumed an insane amount of orange juice and chicken noodle soup. I am channeling all the positive vibes because I don’t have time to get sick. Especially with Jules headed out of town tomorrow! Aside from all the sickness, we got an insane amount of snow! It snowed ALL weekend long and I am not happy about it! How am I supposed to think about Spring clothing when there is 5 inches of snow in my yard….
Speaking of Spring clothing! Have you guys checked out any of the Universal Thread items at Target??? I attempted a small try on session the other day! When I say attempted, I mean Jax and Mia were with me and they were CRAZY! I did find some yummy stuff + I am going to tag all of the things I absolutely loved, but didn’t get pictures of me trying them on.
So if you haven’t already checked out the new line, here is the scoop. It has all the Madewell vibes at Target prices. I actually really love the quality of the clothing and have been pleasantly pleased with what they have put out! I really love the accessories and the shoes! There bags are adorable, and I love all of the (faux) leather sandals! I didn’t try on any of their jeans, but I’m thinking I might need to!
Here I will show the pictures of the try ons, but head to my Instagram Page, corrine_monique, to follow my account and see the try on videos in my stories!
Last year I searched for a pink denim top forever!! When I finally found one I like it was sold out! This Long Sleeve Soft Twill Shirt is perfect!! I love the fabric, it is so soft and falls perfectly. The fit is great! I would personally size up one or two sizes to get a bit of an oversized fit, but you could definitely stay true to size for a more polished look. This color is so springy, and this top also comes in a beautiful olive green color! Oh and see what I mean about my kids being crazy….
I L O V E a good t shirt dress and this T-Shirt Dress is good! I love the fabric. It isn’t too thin, which makes it fall nicely. The sleeves are a great length + I really like the scoop neck. It has a high low hem which is nice to have the extra length in the back! My regular size fit, but personally I would size up to give myself the extra length! You will see in my stories how I paired it with my denim jacket and it is the perfect combo for spring heading into summer!
I have been wanting a jumpsuit, and this Tie-Front Jumpsuit is adorable!! First of all, you can’t beat the price! $30! You could wear this so many different ways too! The fabric is so soft, and the tie in the front gives this jumpsuit just enough detail. I love it paired with my denim jacket, you can get that HERE, but I am also loving the Universal Thread denim jacket HERE! I would also pair this jumpsuit with some fun heels or wedges for an outdoor event!
This was the winner of the entire try on session! I have seen this Tunic Pullover on so many people, and new I had to try it out for myself! I stayed true to size, and this pullover has the perfect oversized fit. It is longer in the back, so you could wear this with leggings or skinny jeans. I would even wear the outfit in this picture and pair it with my favorite Sincerely Jules Lux Jogging Pants and my Sam Edelman Mules. I can tell I am going to be wearing this sweater well into the spring and summer months! It comes in two colors, cream and black, and you better believe I got both!
So I wasn’t able to try this on on, but I’m pretty sure I’m headed back this week to pick this up in every color! I am obsessed with Crew neck sweatshirts right now. This Crew Sweatshirt has the perfect worn in feel and look. It doesn’t have that crispy brand new feel and you could wear it with so many things!! This one comes in three colors and is only $19.99!!
Shoes! Let’s talk shoes. These Cut Out Booties would be the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe! They are the perfect transitioning pair + they are crazy comfortable!! They fit true to size and have the cutest detailing with the braids! This taupe color is so versatile and can be paired with pretty much anything! I feel like my Target shoes last me for years, and with these coming in under $35, you can’t beat it!
So there was no way I could make it through this post without talking about a good pair of mules. This Woven Mule is so cute!!! They come in three different colors and are so comfortable! The woven style is perfect for the Spring and I love this Cognac color here. If you are in between sizes, I would size up one. I don’t love it when my heels hang off the end of my mules. Is anyone else completely obsessed with mules??
This is the last item for today, but I couldn’t leave it out! These are the perfect Marc Fisher dupe! These Espadrille Sandals were all the rage last year, and I am already seeing them come back out this year! I got the Steve Madden pair HERE last year and love them! You can’t even tell the difference, and these are half the price!!
