As you can see, there are a bunch of great deals right now at Target.  I didn't even post everything that I got!  I also picked up a pair of really cute leather gloves, some Biore products and a bunch more shampoo.  I even picked up E some new corduroy pants from the boy's department for about $5 each!  

I also got a new huge, brown leather purse that I love so much...it holds all of my stuff and it's super roomy-for only $8!  I wanted to take a picture of it for the blog, but I left it in my car today because I had too much stuff to carry inside.  I will take a picture of it soon though and maybe feature it on a Pieces of Me post. 

Are you a Target fan?

OOTD

Hey friends.  I have been taking pictures of the outfits that I have been putting together in an effort to try and share them with you.

It's been somewhat of a struggle, trying to put together a professional wardrobe when all I wore for the last three years of school were sweats and sneakers. lol.  Hey gimme a break- they were fashionable sweats, PINK from Victoria's Secret sweats were all the rage. Anyways, I have a couple of trousers that I accumulated over the last year or two because I had practicums that I needed to dress up for.  Pairing these with cardigans and blouses were all I really needed to do in order to create a look.  

But then I got bored...SO I pulled out some of my favorite summer dresses, accessorized them with statement necklaces, thick tights and booties to winterize them a bit and I am in LOVE.  Take a look:

 Black Blazer, cuffed with 3/4 sleeves-thrifted

Fuchsia racer back dress-TJ Maxx

Black ribbed tights-KMart (not pictured)

Black men's wear inspired booties-amiclubwear.com

Turquoise owl necklace-gift from sis-in-law who thrifted it

A couple of simple accessories can really make an outfit-don't you think?  

Anyways, look forward to a couple more of these OOTD posts.  I have some more pictures in my folder that I need to upload and draft for you all.  

Love always,

Yes to the Dress!

Hello dolls!  I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect dress for a very special weekend.  I had what I wanted in mind but either the price was too much or size was wrong.  Glad to say though that I finally found the one after much debating!

Here is my dress for the upcoming wedding that I am attending this next weekend in Milwaukee.  This is a one shoulder dress in purple silk. I ordered this dress off of Lulu's.com for under $50.  Unfortunately, I bought the last one in this color.  Sorry ladies.  I think there might be other colors available though if you like this style.

Pairing my simple black heels from Guess with this dress and a bib style necklace to accessorize.

Necklace $5 from Charlotte Russe

I also have an appointment to get my hair done while I'm in Milwaukee for that Saturday so I am excited to see what they will come up with.  

Wedding wishes,
