Fall Finds: Few and Far Between...

Shopping for late fall is kind of my favorite. I love the rich colors, the comfy and cozy looks... but I haven't actually purchased many of my finds this year. Either the price is wrong, or I need something else more that week.... it's always something it seems like.

I snagged two fabulous items from Target fairly early on, and that's been about it, but I'm back on the hunt. I'm really ready for a little Christmas music and decor, but I need a few work outfits first.

Target finds:

Merona Madeline Studded Ballet Flat

Mossimo MB Chain Ponte Sld Jacket in Rubenesque Red

What are you searching for this fall season? Any favorites I need to check out?

XOXO,
Mrs. Jones

Neiman Marcus & Target fun...

How many of y'all hit up the Neiman Marcus & Target collection on Dec. 1? I did, but as much as I loved the collection, and enjoyed my Saturday morning jaunt, I only made two purchases.

The setup was very cool. They actually kept the whole collection together, and it's moved around locations at our Target a few times.

I loved these two clothing items, but the price tags were just too steep!

My lone purchases were two of the the Tory Burch lunch boxes. One for me, and one for my sister's Christmas gift. They're just so cute and useful! I debated a bit about the matching thermos, but I always carry a Tervis tumbler, so I passed on this one.

What did you check out? Did you think the prices were still a little high for the quality of items? It was really cool to have designer items a little more readily available, but $50 for three Christmas ornaments - no matter how beautiful - is still a little out of my price range.

XOXO,

My Style Monday...

It's the middle of summer. It's hot. It's humid. It's so hard to be both professional and comfortable even in a business casual workplace right now. Does anybody feel my pain?

I  can't just shop til I drop for some fab new outfits, but I can hit up the clearance racks and jazz things up with jewelry to try to survive the scorching summer months. And that's what I've been making an effort to do.

I almost find myself being too casual when I get miserably hot, so I've been making an effort to combat that tendency and look a little nicer than normal!

Cue my $12 dress from Old Navy with great wedges and a cardigan! This dress, already such a steal, also gave me a red and blue dress for our Olympics party and a nautical base for an upcoming bachelorette party. It doesn't get much better than a dress that can do triple duty!

I'm a dress girl, that's for sure. When I saw this Xhileration beauty for just $15 at Target, I couldn't resist it. It's perfect for the beach, and my black shrug cardigan and black flats make it perfect for the office too. What do you think?

My favorite find has been a short sleeved teal cardigan from Loft (marked down from $40 to $18 I believe!), and my new necklace from Baublebar to dress up an old black dress!

 

I'll take some more pictures of my jewelry use this week, but that has been such an easy way for me to doll any old outfit up. What are your go to outfits and tricks for professional looks in the summer? I'm game for any advice!

XOXO,
Mrs. Jones

Frugal Friday: Small things

It was a good week for picking up some freebies!

I'm excited for a lot of these, because I'm getting ready to make a huge housewarming basket for a sweet friend buying her first home. I can't wait to spoil her!

This was my Target and Wal-Mart run one day. Everything here was free (plus tax):

I had another fun Target day when I got to use a coupon for free apple juice, and a $5 off clothing coupon, so I paid $1 for apple juice, two packs of Neutrogena face wipes and a blue tank! Love adding little things like this into my wardrobe.

I know it's not much for the week, but a ton of my shopping was non-couponing and grocery related... I did find a fabulous coupon for some Organic Girl lettuce. I've been eating salads and cooking with spinach all week!

That's all for today!
XOXO,

Target Tuesday: ShoeLaLa

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm finally linking up with Tara's Target Tuesday, and this week I'm sharing ALL the shoes I have on my Target wish list.

I need work wedges. And I'm in love with these!

Mossimo Pattie Wedge Sandals

$29.99

Mossimo Petula Embellished Wedge Sandals

$29.99

Xhileration Tallis Espadrille

$24.99

And then, I also loved the flats. The first pair reminds me of a pair Mrs. 

Smith picked up in Chattanooga, TN!

You can never have too many pairs of (COMFORTABLE) shoes, especially ones that are work appropriate.

XOXO,

Mrs. Jones

The perfect puppy toy!

I'm only, ahem, a little in love with my sweet puppy girl Eve Belle. So, it's no surprise at all that I am always in search of the perfect toy for her!

I believe I hit the jackpot in early December with a Boots and Barkley (Target brand) toy from Target!

She got "lolephant" first, and got "garaffe" for Christmas. They are her favorite toys. It reminds me of Linus and his blanket when you see her with them.

Target doesn't sell them online, but I just wanted to share in case you are looking for a pretty indestructible toy for a crazy pup! This floppy plush toy is stuffingless, with squeakers in each arm/leg and head. So, five squeakers in each toy!

Plus, they're cute! Just wanted to share the puppy love!

XOXO,
Mrs. Jones

Ode to Target....

We all know I love Target, but the $10 off of 3 brands of sleepwear on Target.com/coupons right now makes life even better! I got these three pairs of sleep shorts for $3 total after that coupon! Check it out - and then hit up the clearance rack!

I also picked up another pack of tights, since I killed one pair, and Eve Belle killed my other And these shoes are perfect for winter work wear! I just needed any flats, but I like these! The blisters on my heels don't love me at the moment, but I used a $5 off of $25 Merona purchase, which made the shoes about $12! Score!

So, yes, this is my (weekly? it seems) ode to Target. What have you found lately? Anything good?

XOXO,
Mrs. Jones

Wishful Wednesday: Fall Target Style

There is something about black and grey in the fall. I love it. I need it. I want to shop till I drop!

I've especially been eyeing this precious little dress at Target. I really need to go try it on soon. Do you like it?

Merona Etienne Sweater Dress

It would be perfect for work! And maybe even those Christmas card pictures I've been contemplating..... black tights and back slouchy boots?

And you KNOW I've never met a cardigan I don't like. And then I fell in love with these shoes online too. I wonder if they have them in my store here.... I need to go find out! So much to do and wear. Sigh.

Women's Long Sleeve Artist Cardigan

$27.99

Mossimo Black Kat Faux Suede Booties
