Coral

After looking at my closet, I realize I have another pattern (besides nude shoes)...CORAL!  Almost everything I have purchased recently is coral.  Do you remember the pieces here?  Both have an orangey-coral.  I also purchased these pieces this season:

Mossimo Maxi skirt - $24.99

Banana Republic - Circle Print dress $60 (40% off $98 )

Things I LOVE - All under $100

Find me more coral!  I can't get enough!

Spring Forward...but not yet!!!

One GREAT way to save money over time is to shop off season. I know, I know...you are so ready for bright colors, short skirts, and strappy sandals.  But take a minute and think about what you wish you had this past winter....was it a great pair of riding boots?  Beautiful coat?  Now is the PERFECT time to get those pieces!  Here are some great items I found that you will be THRILLED you got come September!

Frye boots? Nope, TARGET!  Yep, I am serious.  I get more compliments on these boots...genuine leather and Buy 1 get 1 50% off.  So, split with a friend or get two colors!  I did!

 

Target Merona Kasia Leather Riding Boot - $74.99

I probably wear my tan coat more than anything in my wardrobe during the winter.  This one is a fabulous deal and I LOVE the toggles. 

 

Larry Levine Camelhair - $96.56 (from $275.00)

 

J Crew toothpick Jean - $39.99 (from $125)

Anthropologie - Dashes knit blazer $49.95 (from $98)

SAHM Fridays

About a month ago,  I moved from a 5-day work week to a-4 day....I just needed more time with my girl.  So, I have Fridays off now and BOY, do I have a new appreciation for Stay At Home Moms!  It is so wonderful to be home with her more, but it is a LOT of work! 

Our day yesterday....

6:00 - MC wakes up EARLY
8:00 - MC thinks it is hysterical to rub her breakfast burrito through her hair
8:30 - Bath to clean out the breakfast burrito
8:40 - MC poops in the tub (of course the day after the cleaning lady came)
9:30 - Target run - where she pulls the wall of bathing suits onto the floor
12:30 - 1:30 - SHORT nap - what is that all about??
7:00 - Much needed date night with Michael at Lobster Bar!

Some pics of our day below (I'll spare you the tub picture)...

Because of the Target chaos I was not able to try much on so I just purchased a couple staples.

Tip: Each year buy new white tank tops and t-shirts.  They get grungy throughout the year so start the spring off with some new fresh white.  I liked these at Target because they were longer and cheap!  Old Navy has great ones also.
