Over-sized Sweater & Distressed Shorts

Happy Wednesday Loves! I want to start a new, weekly post. The idea is, every Wednesday I’ll post an outfit or an article of clothing I purchased that week and will chat with you about it. I don’t have tons of extra money each month/each paycheck. I have a car payment, insurances, groceries, student loans…you know bills haha! My point, is that I don’t have this abundance of extra cash laying around for clothing, make-up, eating out, etc.

The goal of this weekly Wednesday post is to share some affordable fashion ideas. So to be up front and honest, the majority of clothing you will see are going to be from my favorites, Old Navy and Target. If I could live at these stores I totally would! I think a lot of us would actually.

Outfit Details: Shorts, size6 (Target) | Jeans, size4 (Old Navy) | Sweater, sizeM(Target) | Sunglasses (Target) | Booties, size7 1/2 (Target) | Bralette, sizeS (Nordstrom Rack)

So to kick off my first Wednesday post, I’ve selected an outfit I purchased last week (a few items I’ve purchased a few weeks ago). With the weather slowly starting to warm up we have to start transitioning into warmer weather cloths, right? I found the cutest denim shorts from Target for only $19.99! These high-rise distressed shorts are super cute and comfy. They are the Mossimo brand at Target. I would probably size up in these shorts, if you want them to be slightly loose. If I would take the time to do a return I would probably do that, although pictured below is my regular size, 6.

Jeans are dark wash Rockstar jeans from Old Navy. Online right now for $29. Guys, I wear these jeans with literally everything!

Now, for my new favorite light weight sweater, also from Target! The sweater is from the Universal Thread brand and is $24. I would also size up as I will wear this as an over sized sweater, I’m wearing a Medium. It’s very light weight and perfect for warmer Spring weather. In the pictures below I’ve it with a bralette. However, last week when it was cooler I wore the same color t-shirt under it for more coverage! It was pretty perfect.

My booties are ALSO from Target! I purchased these a few weeks ago and I’m so in love. I managed to talk Steven’s sister and mom to buy them as well. They are the perfect shoe for Spring, Summer, Fall and maybe even Winter. They are from the Universal Thread Brand, $34.99, and I actually sized down a 1/2. I usually wear an 8 but these are a 7 1/2. I do have a question about these though – maybe you guys can help me! I feel these come too low on the sides to wear socks (I know gross) but what socks would you wear with them – that won’t show? OR are these shoes that we just don’t wear socks with? hmm, what are your thoughts?!

Okay, these sunglasses – they were definitely an impulse buy. I couldn’t resist them – they are SO cute! I love the blue mirrored lenses & aviator – people can’t see your eyes and the reflection of the sun makes them very pretty. They are only $14.99! If you’re in need of new sunnies and don’t want to break the bank these are a perfect choice!
