okay, somebody needs to stop me....now! i am definitely incapable of saving money. bad me!
i did a big target run and got various boring things for the house, toiletries, a sewing kit, a dvd player (yay!), a swell crushable green and pink laundry tote, cute purple striped swell sheets, and a pair of green and gold earrings. i also bought some mossimo linen pants and a cute blue xhilaration dress, but they both need to be returned. not so cute on me... :( for some reason, i can't find any of this stuff on their website!
YAY! I finally found my weaverrs in brown! Thank you ladies for those who posted about Dillard's. My LONG search has ended and these puppies will be on my feet tomorrow!
From Gap, I got a cream/white blazer with puff sleeves, khaki buttons up the front, military collar. It's cute, lightweight, good office and going out piece for "chilled air" environments, but no pic available on website.
And when in Latvia, I got a grey handknit shawl that is gorgeous...it's made from fine wool. Can't wait for winter to wear it!
From The Limited: pink and turqoise capris, and a purple tee.
From the Gap: 2 pairs of jeans for hubby and this wrap sweater in white:
From Anthro: I was *going* to buy this skirt in neutral w/ blue lining, but they didn't have my size, and the website only sells green and black, so now I must play phone tag and see if I can get it from another branch. Grrrr.
And thank you to the people who suggested alternatives to Sevens in my previous thread! I tried on some Joe's and COH and they fit *much* better. As soon as I can find them for less than full price, I'm getting a pair.
My future mother-in-law took me shopping on Saturday. I got:
From Express - 2 pairs of crop Editor pants - 1 black and 1 cream/brown stripes, black/white lace silk cami, a white cotton blazer, jean skirt, brown cami
From The Limited - cuffed jean capris, khaki Drew pants, khaki Drew crop pants, aqua sequin shrug, aqua cami, coral peasant t-shirt, turquoise boy-beater, 4 turquoise bracelets
From Banana:
in pink
another BR shirt in pink that's not on the website, a pair of brown Nine West sandals, and a free wicker looking beach bag/purse from Limited.
i wasn't going to post, but my friend wanted to see me new ipod case. www.hausofpods.com i got two bottles of jergens natural glow in medium (we'll see if this stuff is all it's cracked up to be) and i know you all are wishing you could have some of my TWIZZLERS!!! i couldn't help myself, and the bf was paying.

After many calls to many many Gap stores in Florida, i found and ordered this shrug from a Gap in Illinois. It is almost completely sold out on-line (only xl and xxl available). I hope after all this, i like it and it's decent quality. I also bought a pair of VOZ sandals from bloomindales that were featured in the latest Lucky. Those are being shipped to me as well. No more shopping for atleast another two weeks.
i did okay, considering i only went to this little dead mall nearby (had a gc), and walked the ENTIRE mall in an hour....
finally got these nw shoes in brown:
ae tees:
(i must have 15 green tees...i need to stop) and the same shirt in purple, with dandelions in white and it says "you can't always get what you want"...it's not online anymore.
also from ae, a hot pink/green plastic bead bracelet.
and a really cute gap denim skirt.
oh, and i stopped at marshall's (like i do at least weekly - it's dangerous when it's right next to the grocery store!) and got a longish skirt with some crazy mixed patterns on it...i'll post a pic soon 'cause i need advice on whether to keep or return.

I bought it at Arden B (I couldn't find it on the website). It has built in cups in the front portion of the top so you can wear it without a bra. It was $78. I have been looking for some cute going out tops to wear with jeans--I don't go out that much anymore but when I do I am always at a loss for outfits. They had a lot of cute stuff at Arden B but this one really caught my eye and I love the way it fits.
Drew, I don't see the monkey shirt online after a very quick search, but I got it at PacSun, it is the brand Tilt - I usually don't shop there, it is a little young for me, but I was doing a mystery shop & had to make a purchase. I thought I'd be buying some earrings or something for my 17 yr old sister, but that tee was on sale for $12.99, and it was cute - i took another picture - the monkey wraps around the side - he is very funny.
Love your shoes, btw, what a great buy!!!
