What I bought for March

 (& part of April and maybe May)

yeah...its that bad. When I get bit by the shopping bug that's it...stick a fork in me...my wallets toast. Well ya'll know how bad I want spring. Well in my mind if I buy it...spring will come. And dresses I've been buying. With shoes and bags to match. And jewelry. Ohhh jewelry. So here's a round-up of what I bought:

I bought the red clutch instead of the yellow because the store was sold out but with all the new poppy in my closet I figured I'd get more use out of it. Ditto for the flat black and whites. Now they may not be the floral I fell for, but they're adorable and comfy soooo, whats not to love? 

The striped dress I originally wanted in black and white but on a whim went with the teal, because that's how I roll. And I think teal and neon yellow = LOVE. 

I'm on the fence about the Old Navy neon flats, the 7's were too tight and the 8's seem a little big but I think (hope) I can deal.

This little guy was love at first sight. I actually had another necklace in mind to pair with the shirtdress but put it back for my little peacock. (It's okay because I have a 30% off coupon that starts in a couple days so you see I'll just go back and get it for a deeper discount. This is how the madness begins!!)
I love every single piece and can't wait to style them all. 
You might notice some things are different than my what I want for March post. Well that's because some things have sold out and I am not a patient "lets wait for delivery person" I want what I want. (I know what you're thinking "uh...spoiled much?" I know.Blame my parents.) 
However, I am very pleased with my purchases and came home satisfied that I will be content until the end of April/beginning of May when I just know I'll need new summer things. (Which is so not true I just know how my mind works.) That is until I saw that JCP, Kohls and Target are doing collabo's in the coming months and well...I missed out on Prabal Garung cause I was trying to be good and I'm kicking myself in the ass, so if I miss these, I will be destroyed. (too dramatic?) Well I'll try my damnedest to behave and pay off my cards instead of maxing them out. Debt free is the way to be?!

In total I spent a little under $250 with sales, coupon discounts and returns and exchanges. Which is pretty much two months of what I should be spending on clothing, etc. 
So its closet remixing time! (And coupon clipping tiiiime!) Who's with me?
Have you ever been on a shopping spree? (duh...stupid question)
What tricks do you use to curb spending and how often do you splurge?
Who budgets for clothing (or anything at all for that matter, I'm terrible!) 

P.s. Sorry for the long post- I guess I'm just passionate about my new duds!

Target Wishlist

So we all know and love Target. And we all know what happens when you go to Target for "just a few things".

Hours later you get home and the fiance asks "what took so long? you only have one bag?" Oh lots of traffic sweetie. Then you proceed to take in one bag at a time when hes not looking until all of the accumulated crap ends up in the house where you can then blend it in to make it look like its been there for a while.

 'Oh this old thing?'

Thank god for separate checking accounts. 

Lately with Target I've been practicing restraint and waiting until it goes on sale or there is a coupon somewhere in the www that I can use. 

The following are items that I've been watching for a bit and are on my wishlist. 

• Oscar de la Renta tote- $17.99
• Kirna Zabete faux leather pant $10.48
• Kirna Zabete navy blazer $17.48
• Kirna Zabete sleeveless Button Down $9.44
• Metallic jacquard skirt $13.98
• Long sleeve trench $20.98
• Sleeveless wrap dress $13.98

Clearly I may be favoring the Kirna Zabete collection juuuust a wee bit. 

However, scoring a trench for twenty one bucks is a deal! Its a closet staple which I do not own and the neutral palate will last me through many seasons. Plus the print matches the dress which is a super flattering cut for the curves that I'm sporting lately.

The navy blazer is huge for this season as is the tuxedo details. 

Faux leather pants have been on my wish list for eons. I've always just been a little too chicken to buy them. 

The button down with the bow is just so fem that I can't resist and I think it would look great tucked into the skirt. 

The skirt I would definitely need to try on as it is described as "full" and my hips are plenty of that already. 

And that Oscar tote...70% off....I mean really. Does it need justification?!

All this talk of Target makes me want to head up there now and work on some CARDIO shopping!

Whats on your wishlist? Where is your wishlist? And does Target do for you what it does for me?

XOXO
