Here are some of my
shopping rules:

-Never spend over $200/$300 in one trip.
Once you start spending you lose perspective
on what you really need or love. 
It's a snowball effect. 
I call it a smash and grab. 
Buying with out thinking.
MORE does not equal BETTER.
BUY LESS but more QUALITY items.
Nobody needs 52 t-shirts :)

-Only buy what you LOVE

so much you wanna wear it out of the store!

You need to be EXCITED about your purchases.

They need to make you feel like a million dollars.

-SPLURGE on basics that will last you forever.

SAVE on trendy one season items.

Tanya and I only had a little bit of time today,

therefore, we went where every mom shops in a hurry.....

and ran to the closest TARGET to grab some things. 

We got a feel for what she likes and how things fit her.

Here is what we found:

Shrunken leather jacket (she loves!) only $34.99 

and a lace top which I loved on her. 

Classic black sweater with a cowl neck. 

The longer length make this one young, hip, and versatile.

Jeggings and light brown riding boots.

We didn't like the boots but used them to try things on with.

The cute belt was a keeper - and it was on clearance AWESOME!!!

White Vneck and charcoal cardigan are just a wardrobe staple. 

We discussed all the great things she can do with the cardigan. 

Just wait.....good things coming!

Okay....here was a great example of a sweater she liked, but didn't love.

We left it there. 

You gotta love it

and wanna marry it

and wanna have little sweater babies with it. 

If not, DO NOT purchase!!!!

Other purchases made:

A great black turtleneck, that Jackie O would approve of,

and another great black waist belt.

I think most everything we found was on sale, right Tanya?
We did good.

More to come tomorrow!!!
