Ready for take off?

First off: HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!!
(totally one of the most underrated holiday's of all time, also one of the BEST movies EVER!!)

Last Saturday I went on a mini-shopping spree at Target mainly it consisted of toilet paper, paper towels, Tide, garbage bags, diapers and Dr Pepper.  But while perusing around I found some cute sunglasses!  I decided for less than 20 bucks to try them on and voila' I was sold (no literally!)  I had been lusting after these aviator glasses for awhile, but with my track record on sunglasses though it might not be a *good idea* to get them.  Then I found these cuties...
Do you like my new shades?  I could not find them online but here are some very similar sunglasses that are also cheap!!!

Both photo's taken with Hipstamatic on my iPhone.


* I hope all you lovely ladies enjoyed the HUGE sale and got lots and lots of great stuff!!!  I would have totally nabbed this dress (hint, hint hubs!)  Luckily I already own this but it is sad because it's still sitting in the box it arrived in, because it's a wrinkled mess and I have yet to iron it!  I hope you got lots of goodies!!

Let's try this again!

I have no idea how many times I have said I am on a 'no buy' to turn around and go crazy on sale day.  I decided that I am going on a 'no buy' for the ENTIRE month of February, for me this will be a huge challenge in self control.  We are going on a cruise mid March and I really want to save up for my vacation.  I have decided to give my cc and debit card to my hubby and take out a certain amount of cash that has to last me the entire month!  I told my husband about this idea and he laughed at me- he thinks there is no way I can do it (so now I am even more determined!)  Well that's my plan and last night I had my fingers crossed sale items would start popping up so that I could pick up one last thing but no sale.  I still decided to pick up one last thing...

This cute skirt- I just know it will be so cute with the navy blooming lattice, or a cropped red cardi.  My size was running out fast so I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger.

I also placed an Old Navy order and grabbed this as a swimsuit cover up and for only 10 bucks I had to get this 'Crew-a-licious' cardi!  So that's it I know I can do this but it will be hard, kinda nice every once in a while to really take control of yourself (at least I think it will be!)  So I will just live vicariously through all of you ladies come sale day!  Wish me luck!

OOTD- Mustard yellow!

 My Sister called me and made me promise that I would do a 'no buy' with her until after Christmas.  I decided I will because my kids want a lot of things for Christmas, and I already know I will go CRAZY (on things for them) come black Friday!!!  I have a 'must have' list I will allow myself to get things from IF they hit sale.  Also if I find the elusive Maeshowe shirtdress in my size on eBay I am SO bidding!!  I was not really sure about this cardi when it arrived, but for 20 bucks how could I pass it up!? Here is what I am wearing today...
Top J-Crew: similar here
Cardi Anthro: Shadowsleeve
Jeans J-Brand: Skinny
Shoes All Black: Diamond quilted
Belt Anthro: Bow and Angle
Necklace Tiffany: Key


Here is my Pre-Christmas wishlist....  
as you can see I already picked one up!!!
