Every six months or so I like to go through the old closet to pick through the things I haven’t worn in awhile. Perhaps you remember the last purge? I held on to this questionable Target Xhiliration top and I’m afraid to say it needs to go in the donate pile. Sometimes it takes a picture to make that final decision. If I were planning a pregnancy then maybe…but I’m not. It’s time to let it go.
But onto some good news. I also added some wild animal print to the ‘ol closet for a steal of a deal. I’ve been sort of a snob when it comes to the watch I wear (not Cartier or anything remotely close to that…I wish..or not) but it does have to be a good brand name that I love. However, after purchasing a white MK watch I’ve found that I really can’t wear it with everything. For that reason alone, it was not worth the purchase so as I was making my weekly Target visit I came across this animal print Merona watch for a great price of $19.99, again, not a watch you can wear with everything but at that price it’s like adding a great pair of statement earrings to the mix and I felt it was totally worth the purchase.
My next stop was Macy’s to use a gift card from my mom. I happened to come across these fun booties by Carlos. Regular price $99 and after sales and additional discounts I paid $34. Yay! So it was a successful shopping adventure this month spending just under $55.
What new items are you purchasing to update your wardrobe?
What I’m Wearing:
- Top-Target xhileration
- Skinny denim jeans-Mossimo Target brand
- Shoes-Pizazz Booties by Carlos
- Bag- Michael Kors saddle bag circa 2007 or 2008 (I hold onto my bags for a long time)
- Bracelets- All by Stella and Dot
- Watch-Merona available at Target
My goal is always to mix higher end items with inexpensive items. Next week we’ll be adding a little more color to the mix.

I love those shoes!!! I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger on a pair of leopard booties this winter. You just made up my mind for me. So cute with the cuffed denim. Your wrist of bracelets and watch are fabulous too!

Thanks so much! It may actually be cheaper on the mainland. Everything tends to be a little higher here on the island.
