NO Spend May!

Hello Blog Friends! I haven't had much time for blog reading of late, so I feel out of the loop. I am following some of you on Instagram. I really miss some of my blog friends, but time just doesn't allow for my endless blog list reading of late. 

Some of you may recall I did a "Keep Your Money May" way back when in 2010! I've joined up with some Instagram friends to do a no spend on clothing and accessories in May. Truth be told, I could dress out of my closet for more than a month and probably never wear the same thing twice (this is a fact I am proud of and not so proud of - bought it all dirt cheap, but still overkill!) So during May I will work on making my closet work and pare down what doesn't work! I've already shared many clothes with my friends at church and I've sold a few here and there online. 

 

Instagram is great, but it's terrible for feeding your "WANT" monster! I promise, daily, there is something adorable someone wears that is available at a retailer near me for and affordable price! I will try to keep the IG inspiration flowing, by using "like" items I already own. Can I do it? I don't know. The first email I got this morning was for Very Jane and a Jcrew knock-off Fan Necklace I've been wanting for months. Did I buy it? NOPE - but only because it was SOLD OUT! What if it was available? I probably could have justified a way to get it in my mind. 

The point is to try to STOP completely and be content with what I already have. End of story. Watch and see how it pans out............

Thursday Target Threads!

I am dumbfounded that another week has passed by without a post on the blog. Just no time, but Instagram is quick, so here are some shots from there!  

Shirt: Loft, Blazer: Merona, Pants:Merona, Necklace: Ebay, Pave: Groupdealz, Bracelet: Michael Kors via Ross

These mint jeans are still a favorite for me - I got them last season at Target- the Mossimo Premium Denim line which never disappoints!  I'm catching on to a new phenomenon on Instagram - IG shops! I bought this mint blouse new and I love it!  Guess where it's from? Just guess!!  KMART! Hello, the quality is better than some of my Anthro! It's the Jaclyn Smith line. 

Tip of the Day!

It's not Target related, but if you haven't been to Old Navy in the last week, it might be worth your while to go. They made a lot of markdowns on Sunday and many items I had wishlisted went on clearance!  I had a Friends & Family coupon, so I had a small haul, but remember their 30% off Stuff & Save starts tomorrow for Old Navy card holders! 

Still gearing up for my half-marathon.  I have to run 11.5 this weekend and I'm scared.

The Look for Less

$148 - that's what this Jcrew Rosette necklace will set you back - if you can find one as they have been sold out!  I loved it, loved it, the minute I laid eyes on it in the "style guide"!  Well, lucky day in the morning, I found one on my daily Groupdealz feed!  Whoot!  And not for $148, but a mere $19.99!  The quality is amazing! I recommend it wholeheartedly!  If you see these come back to Groupdealz, feel good in picking one up!

  

 Let's talk about another sold out item!  This striped oxford from NY&Co.  Glamour magazine said a striped button down is one of Spring/Summer 2013 "Must Haves"! It sold out in 1 day online and in store, the clerk told me they were gone in 2 days!  As I left the store disheartened, I saw one in the window display, and it was my size!  I really love stripes and oxfords - so a winning combination!

 

Oh Nautical, you slay me!  I also found my Prabal Gurung for Target sandals on 70% off - $8.98! 

Thursday Target Threads!

This Merona dress was purchased at Goodwill.  It was new with the tags but I'm sure it's from several seasons ago!  Scarf is Target and Blanket Boots are a Target score!  

I'm so excited to be at almost 300 Google followers!  
When I hit 300, there will be a giveaway!  

  Blanket Boots $10.49!

What are you ladies wearing these days?

Thursday Target Threads!

My last post was last week's Thursday Target Threads? Wow, where has the time gone?  We had family come to visit and I feel like we've just been busy busy busy!  

I've had this Target graphic sweater for a long time and today I pulled the tags off! My jeans are also Target Mossimo and my flats as well!  (Shirt: Old Navy, Necklace: F21)

Scored these blanket boots I had been wanting for $10.48!  They were a missed salvage item! This green polka dot cardi was on sale for $6.48.  Loved the color.  Trouser jeans are Merona and shirt is Old Navy, shoes are Payless and necklace is the wonderful Stella & Dot! Don't forget to order from my PARTY! 

Showcased here would be my Merona satchel! I've gotten more compliments on this purse than any other I've owned I do believe!  Shirt is JCP and trouser jeans Merona.

Thursday Target Threads!

Linking up today for Target goodies!  Add your stylings below!  This is the one and only Prabal item I knew I wanted at release.  It sold out like hotcakes. I found it one day at full price and bought it, then felt bad, and returned it, then this past week I saw it again for 30% off and snagged it. Not my ususal 70% off, but I thought I was lucky to even see one this late in the game!  

Sweatshirt: Prabal Gurung for Target ($20)

Jeans: Holding Horses Anthro (got these for $10!!)

Booties: Target Mossimo ($8!)

Congrats to Valerie from The Style Files! She won the Prabal Gurung clutch last week!
