real-life style & beauty
When I heard Target dropped a new denim line, Universal Thread, that’s basically a budget-friendly Madewell alternative, I was ALL IN. I rounded up my favorite pieces from the size-inclusive collection of everyday basics, most of which are under $30!
I bought these LOFT Performance Denim Leggings during the Black Friday sale, and I’m wearing them on repeat this winter.
