Fabulous Finds from Target

I’ve promised myself that I’m not going to shop between going to Las Vegas last weekend (which drained my bank account anyway) and my birthday which is at the end of July. That gives me about a month of practicing self control. But this hasn’t kept me away from the mall, Urban Outfitters, and my personal favorite bargain store – Target! (I’m taking baby steps here.) No, I didn’t buy anything. But I did a lot of scouting and window shopping and at Target I documented the fabulous deals on clothes and accessories that they have right now so that all of YOU can reap the benefits, even if I can’t!

Living vicariously though you guys is good enough for me at the moment.

If you know me well or you have been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m OBSESSED with Target. (You can see my collection of Target shoes here.) The store has a huge array of completely on-trend, fashionable pieces that you’d never expect at prices everyone can afford. They’ve really stepped up their game, and I’m throughly impressed.

I actually get more compliments on my Target clothes and accessories than my things from designer stores. (That’s a little sad, when I think about it.) And the funny thing is that when I say what I’m wearing is from Target, people are always shocked!

This has sparked a lot of requests from friends for me to go with them to stores like Target and, well, show them how to find the good stuff. That’s really the inspiration behind this blog post. If you like it, I’ll do another post like this for another inexpensive or discount store. Let me know if you have a request for a specific store.

The other thing about Target is their online store is about a zillion times larger than their brick-and-morter stores. So, there are a lot of hidden gems waiting to be discovered online too. Sure, you have to do a little bit more weeding through the crap (excuse my French) than you would in a real store, but the online store ultimately has a much better selection because it carries sold-out styles and online exclusives. Take these incredible, genunine-leather boots that my friend Sarah C picked up a while back. They’re no longer available in stores but Target.com is stocked!
