If Only Target Sold Breeches

I seem to buy a surprisingly large amount of my riding wardrobe from my local Target; I wrote about the great sock find here. I also buy my everyday riding socks as well as all of the unmentionables there, too. The active wear department seems to be synonymous with riding wear.

My favorite Target finds are riding tops. I have a few official riding shirts, but they were either gifts, or picked up from a clearance bin online. I am hard on my shirts so I have a hard time plunking down $50 for a top that's going to get really dirty, repeatedly. So each summer I hit my local Target for 4 or 5 sleeveless running shirts. They don't shrink, they move with you, and they're cheap!

I was doing some Christmas shopping over the weekend and happened to pass through the active wear department. Right away my eye was drawn to a hot pink running shirt with long sleeves. I bought three or four of these shirts last winter and loved them! When I saw the price tag, $14.99, I also grabbed the purple one right behind it.

Don't you love the subtle swirls?

I like these shirts because they hug your body like a second skin. A vest goes over them really nicely, and if it's a bit colder, they layer really comfortably under a sweater or jacket. Now, if only Target sold breeches, I'd be set!
