Review: Miss Trish Girls Sandals and Target Xhilaration Dresses

blue6

Dress: Xhilaration Juniors Iris – size XS (buy HERE)
Sandals: Mossimo Patsy nude sandals– size 5.5 (buy HERE)
Belt: Ann Taylor Limelight – size XS (similar HERE)
Necklace: Amrita Singh (similar HERE)
Likes: I absolutely adore this iris blue color. It’s gorgeous! And the back detailing is very unique and very outside my box. I like the fact that there is adjustable straps on top so it’s not so low cut.
Dislikes: The material is polyester and very thin. It feels like I am wearing lingerie (sort of expected)- a little too sexy for me. The material is see-thru so I have to wear a target skirt slip underneath. (hence the picture with me showing the slip- and no I am not trying to be sexy)

Verdict: Return.

I love the patsy nude sandals but they are much too big. Such a bummer. Any ladies that can fit into a 5.5 would LOVE these! Super comfy and adorable.

Dress: Xhilaration dress in teal– size XS (buy here)
Sweater: Ann Taylor limelight cardi- size XXSP (similar here)
Shoes: Miss Trish girls – size 3 (buy here)
Belt: LOFT leather braided- size XS (similar here)
Necklace: Amrita Singh (similar here)
Likes: The style and detail of the Miss Trish sandals are super cute and perfect for Summer.

Dislikes: My feet are a bit too wide for this even though the size 3 fits nicely everywhere else. The adult Miss Trish size 5’s are too big so I don’t think I am meant for this brand. My feet feel a slightly trapped in the straps towards the middle of my feet which probably  means I have to size up to a 4 kids.

Verdict: Return 🙁

So my entire order- fail! You’d think I would stay away from Target but I just ordered this maxi dress in XS and hope it works out. I don’t have any maxi dresses and not even sure I can pull it off. I had to add $75 worth of stuff to get 20% off (promo still going on) so I found this crochet dress in XS. It also comes in petites but all the tiny sizes were sold out and I am pretty disgusted at how expensive this is!

 Anyone else have luck with Target?

  1. Too bad those dresses didn't work out – the colors look great on you!

  2. As an avid lover of blue, I can really love the Sapphire Blue color of the first dress (Sapphire Blue is one of the "official" colors of my online work). It's still a lovely dress to look at. That's especially when worn by a beautiful lady like yourself.

  3. Well, that's unfortunate!! I love the colour of the teal against your skin but I don't like the dresses at all… they don't do your shape justice.

    I found the Women's Miss Trish sandals to be very narrow as well, but doable. I'd love to have smaller feet but I wouldn't love to have all the problems that come with finding shoes that fit!!

    Fingers crossed that the maxi works out for you.

  4. Try the original Miss Trish of Capri sandals. They fit true to size and can be gotten for a huge discount. I bought mine for $40 on http://www.6pm.com (shipping included), a far far cry from the $500 they originally retailed for. Try eBay, they tend to have a decent selection of the original Miss Trish for wallet-friendly prices.

    I really don't like Target for clothes – they're cheaply made and cost quite a bit for the low quality. Is it just me or did the quality really go down lately? I think you made the right choice of returning the stuff.

  5. Totally agree with Aubrey!….love the teal and mustard color mix so much! I could take or leave the flat sandals but the nude ones are adorable! The dress's don't make the most of your amazing figure so I totally agree with return! That's funny because I order extra's all the time just to get promos or free shipping (as long as it's returnable right 😉

  6. Agree with returns on both. The dress has a pretty and unique back, but the front isn't flattering on you. I think a more fitted bodice fits you better. It's a bummer about the shoes. Keep looking though b/c I'm sure there is one for you out there!

  7. I can see why you're returning them. Those dresses are so not you. It's fun to try something new once in a while. Great colors for summer though! I love the combination of teal and yellow.

  8. Aww, so sad that they didn't work out! The colors are indeed just gorgeous on you! Does this mean you'll look for some other items in Iris and Teal? 🙂

  9. Sorry the order didn't work out for you! The back of the dress is fun, but doesn't quite look like your style! Better luck with the maxi dress!

  10. Too bad those dresses don't work out for you (agree, they look too thin more like a nightie than a dress). The colors are gorgeous though. They look stunning on you (then again, you always look great in whatever you wear). I've never purchased any dresses (yet) at Target. Usually have more luck with their cardis.

  11. Teal is your color. You look stunning in that color and I think it is a cute little casual dress. Perhaps you can find a different dress but in that same color this summer.

  12. gurrrrrl i love these dresses on you you look AMAZING in summery jewel tones!!! the teal color especially is stunning on you!

    haha actually i'm not entirely sure of the price because the hubs gave it to me as a gift and he dealt with my Chanel SA directly.. i have seen some threads about it on purseforum tho and it says that there's a bit of markup.. but considering how quickly chanel prices go up… hahah.

  13. I love that teal paired with lime. love it!!

    Btw, do you have a tour of your home or living room in this website?? I really like how everything is very minimalistic, but speaks elegance! This is the look I'd like to go for in my place as well, and pictures would be very helpful! You've got lovely taste!

  14. You look gorgeous in the aqua dress however, I totally get what you on the fabric dilemma! They keep making things thinner and thinner and wearing a slip in the summer time is just uncomfortable and it sticks to you! You made the right choices to return both!
