Girl Time...Shopping, Dinner, Coffee...(what could be better?)

 (Ok, first off...I have to apologize for the quality of my pictures lately.  I've been taking a lot of snapshots on my iPod...and the quality is NOT good.  So sorry!)

With that out of the way...

Last Friday, my sister messaged me on Facebook last minute, out of the blue, and asked if I wanted to meet her at the mall for a night of shopping, dinner, and coffee!

Are you kidding me?
YES!

We started off in the food court with some loaded cheese, bacon, ranch fries...YUM-O.

That gave us just enough energy to start our shopping excursion.

We browsed through many stores...window shopping and admiring all the things we wanted, but didn't want to pay full price on, LOL!

Then we got to Old Navy.  Neither of us are big Old Navy fans.  I like the low prices on their sale/clearance racks...however, I have issues with some of their quality.  Many of the things I've bought there come unstitched and the necklines run notoriously large and gap.  Most of their clothing runs small too.  So I made a vow...no more paying full price at Old Navy.  If I come across a REALLY good bargain on the clearance rack, that's the only way I'm spending money there.  Well, as luck would have it, I found these two cute tops...leftover spring/summer merchandise.  I got one in aqua and one in coral.  They are loose, billowy, and longer...so they cover your fanny.  Great to layer with a long sleeve shirt and pair with leggings and boots in the fall or with sandals and flats in the spring/summer!

 I wore the coral one on Saturday and really liked it!

Oh!  I forgot to mention the best part!  These two awesome shirts rang up at $3.12 and $2.78 respectively!  Ha!

 I also found these two cute cotton sleeveless dresses.  Totally long and flowy.  They don't cling to the midsection at all...which is my biggest concern.  I'm thinking I may wear the red one for Christmas with a black long sleeve shirt underneath, black leggings, and either a long necklace or scarf...and of course my black riding boots.

 I was playing with this plum colored one once I got home and put a black shirt under it and a multi-colored satin scarf that I knitted with it.  I haven't worn it yet, but I think with black tights or leggings and boots it will be a great look!

And the best part about these two dresses...the cost!

Can you say $4.00???

 Next we went to Target down the street.

Boy did we score some bargains there!

They were obviously clearing summer/spring items as well.

I got this cute little dress for $7.00!

I'm thinking I may be able to wear it even now (before spring) if I pair it with my little black button down sweater and some black tights and boots!

 Same with this one...$7.00!!!

Pairing it the same...with the black sweater and tights/boots.

 These sheer little tops must be popular or something because I'm seeing them everywhere.

I got my first one this past summer at a garage sale and I would have totally never bought it if my sister hadn't talked me into it.  I'm so glad I did, because I LOVE IT.
So when I saw more of them at Target, I grabbed one in each print!

I got these for $4.00 each!

This blue one has a floral print.  Great to wear with leggings or skinny jeans and boots, with a long sleeve shirt underneath.

 This one was $4.00 also.

And don't laugh...the print on this one...it's purple...ANTELOPES, LOL!

I asked my fashion conscious sister if that was tacky and she said no.  You can barely tell what they are anyway.  I was surprised when I went home that I had the PERFECT matching long sleeved shirt to wear underneath and I'm wearing it today!

And my last $4.00 number!

This one is a charcoal gray and has a floral/bird print.

I'm so excited about my bargains!

It always feels good to restock your wardrobe...especially when they're bargains!

Woot!
