Hitting the Target

I always love a good Target find!  The other night I was at the store without kids and was able to score a cute dress from the clearance rack for twelve bucks! Here is the outfit I was out running errands in - the sandals are another Target steal from earlier in the season that you can now find marked down in stores!

And the $12 dress that I hope makes Peggy proud!

A few weeks ago Debra posted about some cute cords that caught her eye and not wanting to miss out on great deal, I decided to give them a try.  Initially, I passed on them since they were too big in the waist, but after trying them a second time I decided for the price they were livable.  I think when I take them in to be hemmed I will ask about adjusting the waist - anyone know if this is an inexpensive fix? I can always belt them too.  Here are some pictures to give you an idea of how they will fit the petite sector ;)

Surprisingly, Mossimo colored denim in the same fit is a lot more snug in the waist then the cords are.  I usually have the opposite happen, where cords run tighter - but not in this case.  I have been wanting to try some red jeans and on the cheap, so these were a perfect find.

And a final feeling-the-love-for-Target outfit. I loved the cut and colors of this cute top and with a cardi and dark denim I think it will transition well into the fall.

And that about covers my recent Target purchases of the non-essential variety! When you are there an average of twice a week, it's easy to be distracted from the paper towels and baby formula...

Hi-Low and Hello Again!

More catching up!

I really love the Parted Rays Blouse even though it is very long on me, and probably not the most flattering when I wear it untucked.  Although I hate the idea of hiding the cute yellow layer on this top, I knew when I saw the store inspiration post over at Effortless Anthropologie, that I had to recreate this outfit.

And here are two quick, casual outfits with some more hi-low tops from this season. I really like the way this silhouette pairs with skinny jeans, giving you good coverage in the back, the extra length makes me feel less self-conscious.

This top I have paired with dark denim, white denim, and now yellow - plus I've worn it with shorts - definitely a summer favorite!

Yes, Campbell does steal the show, and our hearts every single day - she is our doll baby for sure! Thanks for the sweet words :)  Since she rarely leaves my arms, you'll be seeing lots more of the girliest baby sister!

Duets

I have been snapping outfit pictures all summer, but frequent jaunts to the pool, vacation (and all the packing/laundry associated with it) and just general madness and mayhem of having four young kids home all day has prevented me from finding the time to actually post them.

Time to catch up!

I wouldn't go so far as to dance behind my shopping cart in Staples, but with back-to-school upon us, I can't help but feel excited to return to a more scheduled life.  And with only two little people home during the day I should be able to blog with more frequency in the Fall.  Unless of course homework, soccer, street hockey, 3 kids birthdays and a trip to Disney come between me and being on the computer... Let's just hope my babies have mercy on me and nap simultaneously!
