Resistance Didn't Exist

I walked into the biggest Target ever in Pasadena in search for a planner....walked out with two new things for work. After internship orientation I felt the pressure to squeeze what I can out of my closet. These were on the clearance rack- so I feel a little better.

The color and the style catch my eye. It's a simple top, but had a little floral design to make it a little fun and casual without being boring. It's the perfect size, xs, but it's still loose and the V-neck and the fluttery sleeves are cute. (Massimo, org. $12.99 --> $9.08)


I can probably wear this on a casual Friday at work. It's long enough and not too showy. My first Converse Star brand purchase. I've always liked their stuff at Target, but never found anything on sale. The top portion is a cotton material and the sleeves have button/strap detail., the skirt hits at the knee and has a tie in the back to create a waist. I love the barely noticeable two shoestring holes at the hem of the skirt. (Converse Star, $29.99--> $14.99)

Bargain Hunting At It's Best

Today I broke my self-imposed shopping fast. I've been itching to go shopping and with Spring rolling around it's been super hard to resist. I only poked my head into Target for a look....

I went to the belt/accessory clearance section and found a belt I had been eyeing awhile ago!! They only had a small and an 2XL! I am a small but if they had a medium I would've gotten that one, cuz i like belts that sit low on my hips but oh wells :D


I love the unique double layer it has and the hoops. A very casual, versatile belt that I can wear with a lot of different stuff! (Target's "Mossimo, org. 16.99, sale : $8.49)











I was browsing the clearance racks, I was about the give up when I came across the last rack and I couldn't even tell what kinda dress it was at first - halter? It was all twisted, but I liked the color and it was either XS or XL! In the dressing room I found out it was even better - a one-shoulder dress which I have been wanting to add to my dress collection! I love the little details like the waist and the shoulder-hoop. Kinda "toga-y". I can imagine some gold hoops or braclets and I'm ready for a girl's night out!!! The fabric is a soft like jersey-cotton and swishes around.
(Target's Xhilaration, org. $26.99---> $6.74!)

Can you say, "Hallelujah!"

Shopping Therapy

So the economy has finally caught up with little ol' me. I got laid off last week from my lame-ass part time job- now I have no income. *sigh* what did I do on my first day as an unemployed?

go shopping. yes, I know it seems counterproductive, but you know what...it felt good not to care or stress out about what you can't change. Besides... I was SO on my game yesterday.

Zara Large Tshirt (org. $25) $7.99 + H&M black belt $9.90 w/ 20% off coupon= $7.92







Butternut yellow Maryjanes from Target (org. $16) $4.98


My first Zara purchase- I love the store, never could afford anything, and clearance stuff never have small sizes....they didn't again - I had to get creative!

I am usually a very conservative shoe shopper, I stick to blacks and simple patterned shoes- nothing crazy, but these yellow shoes were my way of stepping out of my comfort zone and they were too cute to resist!

Don't scoff at Target - they actually have some awesome stuff sometimes and buried treasures await in the clearance racks. (I've gotten a corduroy coat for $10 before)
