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...

I always love your outfits - the pieces are so easy but you always look on-trend and chic! That dress score is killer!
I notice you rocking a pair of Jack Rogers - I wore my first pair for the first time over this weekend. Do you do anything with the sole on yours? I almost busted my butt on numerous occasions!

Oh girl, you know I am proud! so cute- I don't even remember seeing it! And that teal floral shirt- um, how did I miss it? I feel a trip to Target coming on.......

The cords were the same on me in the waist, but the colored jeans fit much better. I ended up with the snakeskin ones - they fit the best! I got a great pair of crimson jeans at Walmart when we were in TN - I was surprised!

I get so jealous of all the great Target finds from my fellow bloggers. I cant ever find the cute colored denim and/or cords. The joy of small town living.
