Fun Finds: TJ Maxx/Marshall's Style

The other day I got to shop for a few hours all by myself. That hardly ever happens and it was quite a nice little shift from the usual! I got to try on all the clothes I wanted and actually looked with a purpose at the clothing section of TJ Maxx and Marshall's.

Most times it is too overwhelming for me and I skip it all together so that the person {most likely David ; )} who I am with doesn't get even more bored--haha.

I did pick up a couple of cute items for summer and managed to save some pennies while I was at it!

I got this little sheer tank and fun sun dress for less than thirty bucks! I really like the cut of the sundress because it is super flattering. There were more colors and I almost added those to my basket but I exhibited some self control. It does happen from time to time.

I was super happy to pick up these square toed leopard print flats by Jessica Simpson.

My leopard obsession is still going strong and these are sure to make all of my outfits just a little more fun! And, since Scoutie Bear loves chewing on my current pair of leopard flats it was definitely time for a replacement. It's funny because she doesn't bother any of my other shoes so Dave and I joke that she must be a fan of leopard prints, too! Plus, the square toe makes me feel like I'm wearing pointe shoes....I never did get that far in ballet. Sorry, mom!

The thank you cards had me at hello with their vintage vibe floral print and for $1.99 I couldn't pass them up!

So tell me....are you a TJ Maxx/Marshall's fan? Or does the thought of rummaging through all those racks make you nervous?? ; )

Gotta Have Them

So the another night while I was watching the abysmal season of Design Star, I was totally smitten with Genevieve Gorder's shoes. {Sorry for the quality, I had to do a screen cap of the video.}

The mustard yellow immediately drew me to them and, in that instant, I knew I wanted them. If you've been watching this season of Design Star you'll probably agree that getting sidetracked by fashion is just an inevitable occurrence since not much designing seems to be going on there.

I could go on and on about my disdain for this season's show but I think I'll leave it to this blogger, who seems to have a way with words and says what I think am certain everyone who is watching, really feels!

Anyhoo, back to those shoes! Well, a couple weeks went by and like normal, I forgot about them. But, fast forward to tonight and I stumble upon this post, on this blog, featuring this photo and I see them-the shoes that I had so lusted for weeks prior, but forgot about until that very moment.

I knew this had to be a sign, right? So I magnified the image to see if I could read the fine print but-dang it- I unfortunately couldn't.

I thus resorted to my trusty friend google and typed "yellow cut out wedge." Hoping for fast results I somehow ended up on like the 10th page of endless.com and found them! And, wouldn't you know, one size 8.5 left! Yup, in my cart they went and by now they're on their happy little way to my house...probably in enough time to make an appearance for the first day of school outfit. We shall see.

And as I look back at good ol' Genevieve's shoes, I notice they're not the same, but who says inspiration has to lead to an exact replica? Yeah, not me. : ) Let's hope I like them just the same!

Enjoy your weekends, friends. ♥

Wedges Winner

I wanted the Cynthia Vincent wedges so bad and of course they've been sold out at every Target in my area for weeks. However, the other day I was strolling the aisles and came across one lonely yellow box of wedges and wouldn't you know that they were in my size! I'm sure they were a return because they we're all by their lonesome and I was the lucky buyer who scooped them up.

Here I am today at my family reunion sporting my fun find! Pictured with me is my mountain man of a husband {he loves his beard!}, my mom and step-dad, and maw maw and paw paw. : ) Sorry for the photo quality, I stole it off of my cousin's facebook.

Dancing Shoes

I loved my shoes I wore to the wedding! They are a little more fashion forward than the rest of my most recent footwear and I am excited I found them at my beloved Target.

{Please ignore the bright blue hotel carpeting!}

More Colorado and wedding pics to come...: )

Another shoe post

Hmmmm....I'm digging what I see at Payless.com! Keep the goods coming. I loooove shoes and shopping for them online. Look below at the lovelies ;-)

Spring in winter???....I love it!

I was innocently browsing Target.com and came across a "Spring Preview" section for shoes. I now think I am in love with these. Why oh why do retailers have to tease us with next season's trends when this season just started ???
