9 THINGS THAT INEVITABLY HAPPEN AT TARGET

*With a Big Blog Anniversary on the horizon for me, I thought it would be fun to post some of my older content and most beloved. This one was so well received I published it twice, lol. Content is 9 years old but hey, Target is TIMELESS! Maybe you can relate.

Ladies, you know what I'm talking about. Oh yeah. the rush, the deals, the beauty. Target beckons us!! It does, that red bull’s eye is the symbol of life. The epitome of our shopping lusts and addictions! lol.

So, it goes something like this.......

1. You go in for eyeshadow and almond butter.

It'll take what? 5 minutes? 10 tops?

You come out 1 hour later with a cart full and

you forgot the darn eyeshadow.

2. You will not look in the Dollar Spot

Only on your way in, you see those red and white checked plastic hot dog holders and well, you WILL have a backyard BBQ this summer!

3. AFTER You throw your hot dog holders in the cart, you tell yourself no more,

NO MORE

But you HAVE to go on the other side and that's where you fight some lady over the last Disco Ball with a pink straw cup for $3! She, as the more mature lady, decides it's not worth the fight.

You Holler a tiny "victory"!!!!

4. You tell yourself you won't look at clothes

But then you will definitely look at clothes, someone left the "I don't sweat, I sparkle" tank on the end cap. Hmmm, what else is looking cute today?

5. You think to yourself, “But I just looked at the home decor last week."

So, of course, you go look to see if anything has changed. I mean, maybe they got some new outdoor rugs in.

6. You will not go into the hair aisle

Guess what you're doing tonight? Dying your hair, a beautiful shade of extra light natural blond (got it on clearance) and using a smoothing serum.

7. You pass the nail polish aisle and stop to take a look, even though you have plenty at home.

So, you grab a purple push-up OPI and hot pink sizzle Essie.
Well you don't have these shades yet.

8. You realize you’ve spent too much time in Target and really need to leave.

Wait, you have to look at the accessories first! You need a Blue Fedora with a white band to go with your swimsuit.

9. I will not get a fu fu coffee drink, I already had coffee this morning.

5 minutes later I have a vanilla oat milk latte, roasted red pepper egg white bites and a cake pop, lol. B/C STARBUCKS IS RIGHT HERE IN TARGET!

What did I just do??? I'm good with Target, for awhile.......til next week or Maybe Friday!

Remember Her? Gosh, I miss her!! Mr. Nine always used to compare me to her at the holidays. Oh, the memories. Maybe I'll dress as her for Halloween this year. Bet Target has a costume!

And all the years later, I'm still doing it all, LOL

HAPPY NEW WEEK TARGET LOVERS and

NON-LOVERS ALIKE..

But really, are you a Target Shopper?

Any of this ever happened to you?

FRIDAY FAVORITES HI MARCH

Hello, first Friday in March! Always wonder what this month will hold, especially for weather. Wednesday was beyond glorious; almost 60 and sunny. Stella Mae got a great vet report that day too at her checkup! As always, I’ve got some great Friday favorites and I hope your weekend ahead is spectacular!

1. Eyelash Tutorial

While Instagram refused to show it to the masses (What’s new?) I shared my Eyelash Tutorial in a reels video yesterday HERE. The two products I used were: KISS MLBB Eyelashes in"So Real" and the Black GLUEliner.

Checkered Top HERE

2. Blue Target Slip Dress

This $25 Dress from Target in the title photo makes me smile! I swear this is the blue shade of the spring and summer! I’m not really sure what you call it I guess sort of marine, marine blue. I found a pair of pants in this color from J.Crew but now I’m on the hunt for a sweater to take to Europe.

Dress HERE // Sandals HERE // Similar Moto HERE // Necklace Set HERE // Earrings HERE

I like this dress with both the white leather jacket and Jean Jacket but I think the white really makes the blue pop more.

The Sandals with this Cuteness!

Sandals HERE

3. Workwear to Casual with One Outfit

Did someone say slimming pants! I think these Pants from SPANX are the most slimming pants in my closet and such a flattering fit! The side split hem is adorable, and they sell out so quick. But they always restock. I loved how they can be for workwear like I showed here with the Button Down White Shirt or for casual by adding sneakers and a sweatshirt; on or tied over the shoulders (this one is my beloved Air Essentials Crew in pale pink)

Use Code CLOUDNINEXSPANX for 10% off and a great thing Spanx also offers: FREE Shipping and FREE Returns.

4. Dark Palm Set

Here’s another example of when you love something so much you get it in another color! LIKE ALL MY SPANX Air Essentials, This dark palm is absolutely gorgeous. It’s like a deep olive. The Cocoon Cardigan and Wide Leg Pants are like butter and I loved putting the stripe long sleeve T-shirt underneath, and again you can use code: CLOUDNINEXSPANX

5. Misc. Fun

BOMBER BEAUTY

OK, it’s official, the Fall fashion bug has hit me. While I am still soaking up the last precious weeks of summer, I mean our pool is still going to be open for six more weeks, LOL, my mind is gearing to Fall fashion and of course Fall decorations! Check out last year‘s 3 Fall Tiered Trays and Our Fall Front Porch! My favorites!

This Pink Plaid Bomber Jacket is literally da bomb! It was so funny because I saw it in Target on a day my mom was with me, and she had gravitated to the same one! The shade of pink is just so darn beautiful! So, last year the shacket was big and while it will still be around this year, I think these bomber jackets are going to be a hit as well, at least they are with me!

I decided to sell this cutie three different ways for you and I love them all.

First up is casual of course, because let’s face it, that’s how I dress on most days! We talked about how hard it is during the early fall with shoe transitions, where it’s not really sandal conducive anymore but you’re not quite ready for boots. Sneakers are always a great option for me! I wear sneakers year-round and just let their comfort and cuteness! Throw on some more laid-back jeans and you’re good to go!

JACKET HERE // SNEAKERS HERE // HAT HERE // TOP HERE // JEANS HERE

This is where I get to jazz this bomber up a little bit and give it some edge with the Spanx Faux Leather leggings and my Karl Lagerfeld boots that I got from the Nordstrom anniversary sale. I had been eyeing these boots for a couple years I was so excited to get a fresh new pair this season that really jazzed up any outfit with black patent leather and pearl cuteness!

JACKET HERE // SPANX LEGGINGS HERE // BOOTS HERE // EARRINGS HERE // CAMI HERE // SUNNIES HERE

And for this last one, I thought about putting it with white jeans which I still would right now, but decided to go to open toe heeled booties, more bling and the jeans route for a dress up spark to the castle. I thought the darker jeans were a good contrast with the pink and white. These jeans are my first pair from the Good American and I am in complete love with them!

JACKET HERE // JEANS HERE //Similar BOOTS HERE // CAMI HERE // EARRINGS HERE

Ok, I was sweating when these pictures were taken as it’s still nice and warm in Indiana, but we do it for the sake of fashion, right? Plus, if you don’t scoop the stuff up, it sells out. This jacket is under $40, crafted so nicely and has pockets! Which is your favorite?

STAY ON TARGET

I have shared both these cute outfits on Instagram, but they are both so good, I had to share here too. Last Week, I Shared the coveted Target star jacket and man, what a winner.

Target used to ebb and flow in the clothing department. A season would be great and then the next one, blah....

But I must say, the past couple years, it all has just slayed. So many good finds. I’m hoping 2021 continues with the flow of cuteness and great finds. And the greatest thing about fabulous goodness at Target is its plentiful availability and Low PRICES!

This Hot Pink Sweater is darn near perfection and I’m sure you’ve seen lots of people wearing it. All the boxes get checked with this one; especially the soft, perfect length and blouson sleeves boxes, xoxo
I loved jazzing this sweater up with the stripes in the Bag Strap. I am very new to the bag strap game and I must say, I love it!

This flattering Black Dress is also a "hole in one" for many reasons. It’s slimming, perfect midi length, sexy without being revealing and its whaaat? $20!!! That’s what! So easy to style too.

OH MY STARS

Oh my stars, this Jacket is everywhere. I drank the stars Utility Jacket Kool-Aid And for good reason! It’s that good! Seen it on everyone from new and seasoned bloggers to famous cuties. I’ve always loved stars but I’m hearing they’re the BIG “In” this year. No matter, because when you combine em’ with a fabulous olive utility jacket, they’re a solid timeless addition to your closet.

I almost purchased the more expensive version of this jacket awhile back but glad I waiting because Target hit it outta the park and a great jacket for under $35, well, you can’t beat it.

I’ve styled it a few ways for ya. It looks great with jeans too but I did Black joggers, faux leather leggings and a black T-shirt dress. Wa-La...more reasons to see why it’s a keeper.
