Target Haul Vol. 4: Holiday Style

It’s the most wonderful [fashion] time of the year! Does anyone else loving getting dressed up during the holiday season like I do?! It’s a time where you can play with textures and fabrics, hues of red popping galore, and a little sparkle never hurt anyone.

Since my Target Hauls [here, here and here] are some of your favorites - and mine too - I thought it would be fun to put together affordable holiday looks all from Target! What I love about all of the pieces and outfits I put together is that even after the holiday season, you’ll still get so much wear out of them. That’s key for me, as you know I love maximizing my wardrobe as much as possible!

From a flowy red maxi dresses to tie-waist wide leg white pants and beyond, there’s a little something for everyone and every style in today’s post. Keep scrolling to see over 20 affordable holiday looks!

LONG SLEEVE RED MAXI/MIDI DRESS

The moment I saw this dress on the rack I knew it was going to be a favorite! The beautiful berry red color is so stunning and perfect for the holiday season. The sheer sleeves add a bit of a romantic and extra feminine touch to the dress. I love how much movement it is with the 3 tiers and best of all…IT HAS POCKETS!!! I honestly didn’t realize it had pockets until I brought it home and it made me love this dress even more!

After the holiday season, you could easily transition this into the spring by wearing sneakers and a denim jacket. I think that would look so cute and is such an easy way to maximize your wear out of this dress. It would be great to wear to a wedding or shower, too!

Target refers to this as a midi dress but for me, it pretty much hit at my ankles. It does hit mid-shin on the model on the site so exact length on where it hits you may vary based on your height. I’m 5’3” and am wearing the XS; dress runs TTS. It is originally $39.99 but it currently on sale for just $27.99! It’s also available in two print patterns.

LONG SLEEVE PLEATED SHIFT DRESS

If a long dress isn’t your thing but you still want that holiday pop of red this long sleeve pleated shift dress is for you! As with the maxi/midi dress above, the sleeves on this are sheer adding an extra feminine touch. This dress has tons of movement to it…and plenty of room for endless cookies!

You could easily wear this dress with heels or with tights and booties. I think either would look great for the holidays. You can also add a pop of leopard print like I did in the last photo; adds to the versatility of the dress! Post-holiday season, you could easily pair this with sneakers and a denim jacket as the weather transitions to spring. This would also look great with a faux leather jacket and heels for date night or a girls night out in the city. You could easily wear this dress to work, too. The options are endless!

In these photos I’m wearing a small because it was all that specific store had. It did feel too big and thankfully I was able to find my true size, which is an XS, and it fits great! It is $32.99 and a great deal for how versatile it is.

LONG SLEEVE V-NECK SWEATER DRESS

If you’re looking for a dress option that is a little less dressy than the two above, this sweater dress is for you. I just love this beautiful burgundy/wine color; it still says holiday but isn’t the traditional red. It’s super soft material and I also like that it’s not a super fitted sweater dress. There’s plenty of room and you don’t feel restricted at all.

This sweater dress can easily be paired with heels or tights and booties for the holidays. After the holiday season, you can easily pair this with a faux leather jacket for a night out or with a denim jacket as spring starts rolling in. It’s $29.99, is available in 3 additional colors, and runs TTS; I’m wearing an XS.

LONG SLEEVE V-NECK SWEATER DRESS LAYERED WITH EMBELLISHED SWEATER

Since I’m all about maximizing your wardrobe and finding multiple ways to wear pieces, I love pairing the v-neck sweater dress from above and layering this gorgeous embellished sweater over it. How fun and stylish, right?! The colors coordinate so well and the layering effect makes the sweater dress look like a skirt! To keep the sweater with that tucked look, use a skinny belt to hold the bottom hem in place and fold over like you would a front tuck.

Sweater dress runs TTS and I’m wearing an XS. It’s also available in 3 additional colors. The embellished sweater is so cozy and also runs TTS; wearing an XS. The embellished sweater is also available in white.

LONG SLEEVE CREWNECK MIDI DRESS

This long sleeve crewneck midi dress had me feeling a tad bit sassy wearing it! The color is something I don’t typically gravitate towards because of my skin tone but it just kept calling my name on the rack so I had to give it a try. And girl, I loved it! It’s an incredibly soft knit fabric and has two smaller slits on the sides. I love that it’s more of a fitted option and feel that dresses it up a bit more.

Again, this is an incredibly versatile piece. After the holiday season, you can easily wear this to work, paired with a faux leather jacket, denim jacket, blazer and beyond. You could wear heels, booties, sandals or sneakers. The dress is originally $22.99 but currently on sale for $16.99! It’s available in this fun brown color and black. It runs TTS and I’m wearing an XS.

TIE-WAIST MOCK TURTLENECK T-SHIRT MIDI DRESS

Comfort plus fashion and a put-together look…this dress has it all! It is SO comfy! It’s a thicker t-shirt material so it will help keep you warm during those colder months. It has a mock turtleneck that isn’t restricting and a tie-waist to accentuate your figure.

Easily pair this with heels or tights and booties. You can layer a blazer or leather jacket over it to maximize it’s wear. It comes in this beautiful neutral color and also comes in black. It runs TTS and I’m wearing an XS. It is originally $32.99 but is on sale for $23.09 currently!

PLEATED MIDI SWEATER SKIRT WITH EMBELLISHED SWEATER

I love the mix of cozy fabrics yet the sophistication of the pleats in the skirt and the pop of sparkle from the sweater embellishments. Definitely a perfect holiday look! And one that can easily transition post-holidays for the office. Wearing an XS in the sweater skirt; I’d say it runs a little bit big but very close to true to size. Also wearing an XS in the embellished sweater and it runs TTS. The sweater skirt is $27.99 and the embellished sweater is $34.99.

PLEATED MIDI SWEATER SKIRT WITH CREWNECK RIB-KNIT SWEATER

Showing the versatility of this pleated midi sweater skirt by pairing it here with a simple crewneck rib-knit sweater in cream. I love how the pleats in the skirt and the ribbed texture of the sweater play off of each other and pretty much line up perfectly…like they were meant to be paired together! It creates these long lines that elongate your body.

This is yet another look that can easily transition after the holidays for work, and you can pair the sweater with jeans for a casual weekend look.
