From Anthro to Etsy- Eyelet, Crochet, and Lace. Oh My!
I've noticed that Anthropologie has quite the selection of blouses right now that have either crochet, lace, or eyelet details. Although not typically a fan of these types of details on my clothing, I have found myself drawn to the Lingering Hours Blouse, although, understandably enough, not to the $148.00 price tag! I decided to peruse Etsy to see if I could find any similar items for much less. Didn't find anything that matched exactly to the Anthro pieces, but some that featured the same details. Here is what I discovered:

Betty's Bargains: Part II-Target
Yesterday I shared my recent Old Navy purchases. Today, it's Target. I initially went to Target looking for... actually, I cannot remember why I went to Target, other than the fact that it was the closest store when I first walked in the mall. I also needed shampoo and face wash, but not necessarily from Target. But I digress. Here is what I left Target with:
The original price on this tee is $14.99, but I actually picked up mine on the clearance rack for $7.49. It was the only one in the whole store (or so I imagine) and it was in my size.
I was in desperate need of a bathing suit, (all of mine are at least five years old and pre-children). I tried on several suits, including these:
These pieces are a part of the Mossimo Mix & Match Collection, in yellow. I also tried on different pieces in blue. Loved the top, but unfortunately, not so much the bottoms. The size selection was also limited since everything was currently on sale.
I actually really loved the bottoms to this swimsuit, but really hated the top. The bottoms were surprisingly flattering and didn't cut into the, ahem, meatier portions of my body, like other suits are apt to do. The top, however, was the most unflattering thing I have ever tried on. Not to mention that the gold broach was too distracting and fairly ugly. But it looks pretty good on the model!
I ended up with this bikini:
Would you believe that I scored this swimsuit on sale? Yeah, for a whole $1 off the original price! I paid $18.99 per piece. Score!
I also picked up two impulse purchases:
This black coverup dress was on the clearance rack for $9.98 and looks a lot better in person than on this model. (And I like to think better on me than on her as well).
I also tried on a few pairs of shoes, but thankfully, they did not have my size in any of them. (Budget!) Here are my top three faves that I tried on:
I fell in love with these t-strap pumps, but really wanted them in the black patent. Unfortunately, so did everyone else since they only had two pairs left, both in size 10! Guess it just wasn't meant to be.
So... How did I do?
