A little argyle and a little raspberry

Even though I've blown my shopping budget for the month, I went to Target and TJ Maxx this weekend! I should've just stayed away. I ended up getting a few things, but I only spent $20!

At Target, I got:

- the plaid dress in the previous post, $8

- a half slip, $8 which I desperately needed to prevent my skirts and dresses from clinging to my tights

- raspberry colored tights, $3, which I plan to wear this week with a black jersey dress and my new slip!

And in my trip to TJ Maxx, I somehow convinced my husband to buy me something! I think the fact that it only cost him $3 helped! I found a super cute, super warm pair of argyle sweater tights. They are black and gray and super adorable! I don't know how I'm going to wear them yet, and they aren't the most flattering things I've ever worn, but I love them all the same.

They look a lot like these, minus the burgandy. They are just black, gray and white argyle:



I think I might try them with a black turtleneck, denim pencil skirt and black flats or black knee high boots.

Is it crazy that I can't wait til February so I can spend more $?! The deals are just too good, and I have far too many things on my wishlist!

Cute Shoes at a Bargain

I stopped in Payless last night on the way to the gym - I didn't have much time to look because hubby was waiting for me outside in the car. Anyway, I was quickly browsing the size 8s, when a worker came by and asked me what type of shoes I was looking for - I told him the truth - cheap ones! Ha!

Well, Payless does have their share of cheap shoes. And some of them definitely look cheap and feel cheap! But, I've actually had some good luck with shoes from Payless, ones that actually are comfortable and cheap enough to throw away when they wear out or go out of style.

Here are a few of my Payless picks. They are having clearance now and I saw many shoes under $10!

I'm going back tonight to grab these babies! So cute for spring and only $9! I love the coral color! I imagine wearing them with a white dress or a khaki skirt.



These loafer style pumps are super cute! They look silver to me, but the color says gold. I didn't see them last night, I'll have to see what they look like in person. The site says 24.99 on these, I would only get them if they were less than $15.



Zebra print knot flats, $16.99. I tried these on and loved them! Still too pricey for me for what they are. I'll wait on these to go down in price. They will go with everything though!


I also saw these mustard stacked heel sandals on super clearance - I think they were $5! This is the only photo i could find of them... someone was trying to sell them online. Hope they don't mind I'm using the photo (If you do, let me know and I'll take it down)!



Those are my picks at Payless. Can you tell I'm leaning towards pastels and mustard yellow for spring? So ready for it!!

Great finds at Old Navy clearance

After the gym last night, I stopped by the mall with the intention of going to Michaels to get some knitting needles. Well, Old Navy is right next door, so I parked in the middle and actually never made it over to Michaels! I was a bit distracted by all the deals at Old Navy! I think they had just put out the new sale merchandise and there was a lot of good stuff in the Medium section, which is usually picked over.

Here is what I got:

Light gray ruffle front cardi, $12
I love the tiny baby ruffles. So many of my ruffled tops have giant big ruffles in your face. So I really like the tiny ones and soft color on this cardi. Can't wait to wear this with light pink!


A yellow boat-neck tee, $2.49.
Mine is a white/yellow stripe with a tiny chest pocket. It's so cute and nautical, which is one of my favorite looks. I will likely save this for spring and wear it with white and navy and possibly my red and navy scarf-print flats. Can't beat that price!

Black and taupe color block skirt, $9
I immediately loved this skirt and hunted for 10 minutes for my size. It's not perfect (it puckers a bit at the hip) but for the price I figured I'd make it work. I'll probably wear it with a cardigan over it any way. It reminded me a bit of the Horizon Line dress from Anthropologie that Kim from Anthroholic is so fond of.

Taupe tiered/ruffle mini skirt, $7
I saw this on the rack right when I was leaving and bought it without trying it on. It's a bit snug - but by the time its warm enough to wear it it should fit just fine. It's adorable! I love the ruffles on the butt! Too cute! I thought it looked familiar but couldnt place where I'd seen it. Then I realized that it was from Rosa at Love at First Shop who wore it with a vest and cognac boots! I have so many ideas in my head for outfits with this skirt. Here is one I just put in polyvore. I just need these shoes (Aldo Equia, $59) to wear with it!
