One More Time

Since I am cutting myself off cold-turkey in 2010 from shopping, I did a last time binge to stock up on some basics.

Nothing too much, just a few items .... lol

Where else to go for some cheap basics than Target? (Just basics, I already raided the Rodarte Go International Line, more on that later.)

And the clearances were glorious! on tees, on jackets, on sweaters, on shoes and on accessories.

I picked out a few things and even made a trip to the fitting room. I usually HATE fitting rooms. I'm much more buy, try it on at home and then return. And Yes, sometimes I forget to return, I get busy or just plain lazy. Receipts pile up and unworn clothes with tags stay in the back of my closet.

What I came out with:

2 white tees

1 black tee

2 pairs of leggings (I've never done leggings, they were always a little too 80's for me, but the point here is to be daring and creative.)

1 red sweater (soooo comfy and soft, suprising find at Target?!)

The same sweater as above but in Gray

1 pair of skinny jeans. The trick to finding good skinny jeans whether at Target, Gap or Banana Republic is the FIT. They have to be Tightttttt, but not so tight they give you that infamous Muffin Top. And they have to be in a nice dark wash, unless you are 5'10" and weight 95 pounds.

2 pairs of earrings-big and ostentatious, how I usually like my earrings :-D

andddd a pair of pointy-toe leopard print flats!

I already own a pair of leopard print flats (Jessica Simpson with the square toe) but I'm the type that believes if you truly LOVE a style, you should stock up on it. In high school I would shy away from pointy toe shoes or flats in general because I thought I had big feet (I'm a size 7.5-9, depending on the brand,) so I've come a long way to not be afraid to draw ALL the attention to my feet. I can't wait to style these with some professional as well as casual outfits.

All this and not too much damage to my debit card. A good way to transition to the New Year.

And an example of some flashy earrings from Target
