Affordable Plus Size Fall Fashion 2024: Target Online is a Game Changer

Hey, lovelies! Remember when I had that major disappointment with Target’s in-store plus size section? Yeah… I was ready to give up on them completely. But as any true fashionista knows, you can't let one bad experience define a brand, right? So, I decided to give Target ONE MORE chance, but this time I went back to my tried-and-true method—online shopping! 🙌

If you’re anything like me, you know the magic of scrolling through an online store, adding to cart, and eagerly waiting for your fashion goodies to arrive at your door. There’s something so satisfying about it, right? And let me tell you—Target's online plus size selection did NOT disappoint! 🙌 Ready for the details? Let’s get into my haul, how Target redeemed itself, and why this might just be your new go-to spot for affordable plus-size fashion.

Target’s Online Shopping Experience: Fire or Flop?

Okay, I’ll admit it—I was skeptical. I mean, after my in-store experience, I wasn’t exactly expecting to be wowed. But y'all, Target’s online options are actually fire 🔥 Like, where were these pieces when I was in the store?! I have NO idea why they don’t stock these styles in their physical locations, but let’s just say I was impressed. And the prices??? Chef’s kiss 💋 I snagged nine pieces—and a boatload of accessories—for under $300. That’s right, under $300!

You see, when you’re used to shopping at stores like ELOQUII, ASOS, or Torrid, you expect to pay a pretty penny. I mean, a dress at Torrid can easily set you back $100, and don’t even get me started on the price of jeans. So, finding affordable plus-size fashion that is both cute and budget-friendly is a total game-changer! Ready to dive into these pieces? Let’s start the haul!

Look 1: The Elegant Ribbed Knit Crop Top

First up, we have the Ribbed Knit Long Sleeve Crop Top in black, and y’all, this one is an absolute win. 🙌 You know I’m a sucker for a good crop top, and this one? It’s got me feeling all sorts of cute. The material is soft, comfortable, and the vertical ribbing? A+. It gives the illusion of a snatched waist without sacrificing comfort. The neckline is a bit wider than I expected, so I’ll definitely pair it with a strapless bra, but this is one versatile piece that’s about to get some serious wear. This one is a keeper.

Look 2: One-Shoulder Ruched Top Vibes

Next up, let’s talk about this one-shoulder ruched top. Now, I know my pants don’t exactly go with it, but I HAD to show y’all this beauty! Every time I see a one-shoulder top, I’m sold. 💁🏽‍♀️ It’s flirty, fun, and the ruching on the side? I didn’t even realize that detail until it arrived, and it’s such a pleasant surprise! It’s subtle but adds that extra flattering element that makes you feel amazing. This top is giving me ALL the vibes.

Look 3: The Mini Skirt We All Need

Oh, but wait—do you know what pairs perfectly with that ruched top? THIS skirt! 😍 Let me introduce you to the Mini Skirt that is about to become a staple in my wardrobe. It’s a 4X, and while it fits well in the hips, I might size down to a 3X because it’s a little loose in the waist. I love how it drapes and flows—perfect for fall when you pair it with some cute boots. I wasn’t sure at first, but now that I’ve tried it on? Oh, she’s definitely staying.

Look 4: Nostalgic Vibes with a Tupac Graphic Tee

Alright, I don’t usually go for graphic tees, but when I saw this Tupac tee, I couldn’t resist. 😍 It’s giving me all the ‘90s vibes I didn’t know I needed. The fit is relaxed (I’m wearing a 3X), so if you want something more fitted, you might want to size down. I’m loving the retro feel, and honestly, I can already see myself wearing this on repeat with jeans or even tucked into a skirt. Versatility at its finest!

Look 5: A Corduroy Comeback with the Cargo Mini Skirt

Now, let’s talk corduroy. I used to avoid this fabric like the plague because, let’s be real, it’s not the most forgiving. And back in the day, brands didn’t even bother making it in plus sizes! But this Corduroy Cargo Pleated Mini Skirt in gray? It’s making me rethink everything I thought I knew about corduroy. It fits so well, and the pleated design gives it just the right amount of edge. This is perfect for pairing with some knee-high boots and a chunky sweater for that perfect plus-size fall fashion find.

Look 6: Off-the-Shoulder Criss-Cross Crop Top Goals

Let’s move on to this Off-the-Shoulder Criss-Cross Crop Top. When I tell you I was hyped about this one, believe me! It's black (of course), but what really sold me is how soft and comfy it is. It’s made of a jersey material, which makes it perfect for casual outings. But fair warning—this is not the top for dancing or moving around too much. Keep it for those nights when you’re just trying to look cute and stay still. 😂

Look 7: Brown Bodysuit

Next up is a piece I couldn’t wait to try—a brown bodysuit. I’m wearing an XXL, and let me just say, it fit like a dream. I stepped right into it, no struggle at all. The material is buttery soft and the color? We LOVE brown on brown skin. It’s a thong bodysuit, so just be prepared for that, but honestly? It’s worth it. This piece is perfect for layering under jeans, skirts, or even a nice blazer.

Look 8: Faux Leather Button-Down: A Dream Come True

I’ve been on the hunt for a faux leather button-down for forever, and Target finally came through! It’s a 3X, and it looks great when worn open, but I tried to button it up, and… let’s just say it’s staying open! 😂 I’m not mad, though. I already have a few outfit ideas for this one, and I’m excited to style it in different ways for fall. Faux leather is such a great way to elevate any look!

Look 9: The Showstopper—Wide-Leg Denim Jumpsuit

And finally, we’ve arrived at the pièce de résistance—the denim jumpsuit! 🎉 Y’all, this piece had me nervous, but my gut told me to size up, and thank goodness I did. I grabbed a size 28, and it’s perfect! There’s zero stretch in this jumpsuit, but the wide-leg cut and tie at the waist make it work beautifully. I used to shy away from wide-leg styles, but I’ve learned that when they’re tailored well around the waist, they can be incredibly flattering. This jumpsuit is hands-down one of my favorite finds, and I’m excited to wear it ALL season long. The original one was sold out, but I found this alternative that is even more appropriate for fall.

Final Thoughts: Is Target Redeemed?

Whew! That was a LOT, but I’m so glad I gave Target another shot. My online shopping haul was such a success compared to my in-store experience, and I found some true plus-size fall fashion finds that I can’t wait to style. I’m especially thrilled that these pieces were affordable without sacrificing style or quality.
