Its going to be rough

Ash challenged me to not buy any clothes in the month of August... I feel like its going to be kind of rough. I agreed to do it because my shopping has gotten a little out of control. I warned my boss that if I come in and I am crying that he shouldn't take it personally- its because I found something I wanted and couldn't buy it. Sam is so stoked- he thinks he should get to have my normal shopping budget for the month- not a chance. Luckily, before the challenge I took Stockden to Old Navy and picked up some fun new things (hopefully that will tide me over for a while).

Here are a few of the things I got. I absolutely LOVE my new cheetah print caridgan. I feel like I will wear it ALOT. I love the green shirt underneath too! I have been LOVING green and cheetah together. I think both of these pieces will carry me very nicely into fall.

So, I was doing really well the first two days of the month- still excited about my recent finds when I checked the mail and these beauties where waiting for me there!

The yellow one is mine and the other two are Ash and Kate's. I decided I couldn't wait to wear it. Its it just the cutest thing ever! I have been DYING to get one! I think I may need more than one color though!

This is what I am wearing today! I think the yellow adds just the right pop of color. I have a feeling that I am going to work this piece pretty hard. 

Vegas Shopping and Wedding Dress Shopping

Because it was a holiday we decided to head down to Vegas to do a little shopping. Ash didn't want to go, so me Kate, and McKall headed down for the day. It was so fun and I got some GREAT new things. We really only went to Forever 21... by the time we were done there we were all out of money. 

Here's what I got:

Me and McKall got the same mustache shirt and McKall got purple skinny jeans instead of red. We will be twinners for sure. It was so fun to get away and spend time with two of my favorite girls. While we were down there we stopped at David's Bridal and Kate tried on some wedding dresses. She looked so beautiful! Because she doesn't have G's yet, she made me try on one to make sure she would be covered up. It was weird. I told her that was more dresses I tried on than when I got married (I didn't want a dress and I did not want to go dress shopping. I borrowed my cousin's dress and I was happy with that). It has been really fun to go with Kati though. Here's the type of dress she likes:

She will have some little cap sleeves though

 The only bummer was that I got a FLAT tire on the way home. I must have ran over a screw in Vegas and it was really flat. Luckily we stopped at a gas station and they helped us get my spare on. Silver lining.

I Love Target

I seriously love Target. I guess its really more of a love/hate relationship. I love it and I can ALWAYS find something I want there, but I could seriously spend my whole paycheck in there and not even think twice about it. I have gone through periods of time where I have had to limit how many times I can go there in a month- which was 4. Sad, I know. Well, on my last trip there Target was good to me. I found the CUTEST rugs. There were a steal for $12! Whooo hooo, so I bought three of them. I love how rugs change the whole feel of an area, and I am OBSESSED with stripes lately. Successful shopping trip if you ask me.
