Nails!

As I've said before, I was a little leery of letting my beautiful acrylic, french manicured nails go bye bye. However, I'm starting to think that this may have been a fantastic decision! Not only am I able to save an extra $40 and hour and a half of my time every month, just look at all of the beautiful colors I picked up at Target this weekend. (The Target that they just built literally RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from my house. Fabulous or disaster? I haven't quite decided yet...)

Only $21 for all 6! OK... I splurged a whopping $7.50 on the pink glitter. But wouldn't you too?!?!

And after a little Pinterest inspiration, this is what I came up with:

I painted my toes the pretty blue color above, but I didn't figure anyone would want to see my feet on here. Now, if I only I can stop biting these real (and might I add beautiful) nails!

Bargain Hunting

Last night, I did something for the very first time...

As I was wandering around the clearance section of Target, as any good bargain shopper would do on a rainy, cold Friday night, I stumbled upon a super cute blue-gray and tan tank dress. (I'll get pictures up ASAP, promise!) It had interesting colors, a flattering empire-esque waist, was knee length, and the straps were thick enough to wear to work without a sweater! I grabbed it off the rack, thinking I HAD to try this baby on! As I double checked the size, however, my heart sank. It was a maternity dress. But it didn't look like a maternity dress, so I grabbed one size down from my normal, just in case, and tried it on anyway. And guess what? It was super cute!

So, last night, I bought a maternity dress. No- I am not in preparation mode and no- I am not ashamed. It's adorable, flattering, versatile, and only cost me $6.24. Not too bad for a rainy Friday night.
