My parents came over after lunch & we spent several hours in the pool. We actually got some rain yesterday evening so the water felt great. I decided to go to Cato this afternoon. I don't go there often but my friends Allison & Jill are always able to find stuff. I really needed a few things due to the 17 lb. weight loss. Well, I hit the mother load! This was one of those days that doesn't happen often for me. I tried on a ton of stuff & I could've bought it all! But I didn't. I wanted to. But I refrained! I've been wanting a Maxi Dress. I tried one on at the Gap Outlet when we went to the beach. I loved it & it was like $25 but I didn't buy it because it was strapless & I didn't know if I'd like it. Well, I've regretted it. So much so that when Allison told me she was at the outlet mall near here I asked her to go to Gap & see if they had it. They did but it wasn't on sale & it was going to be $50! I don't call that an outlet store price. Anyway, I found one at Cato.
For whatever reason it looks blue in the pictures. It's different shades of green. Soooo comfy too!
Dean couldn't have cared less about anything I bought except this.....
He feels the same way about bags as he does about shoes - I have too many. I've been wanting a pink purse & it was only $16!!! I can't tell you the last time I've seen a purse that cheap. Granted it may not last forever but that's ok. Next up...
I really like the neckline on this one. I'll wear it with capri's or black shorts.
I LOVE this top!! I tried to buy a pair of white shorts to wear with it but you would know they didn't have my new size. I started to buy a size down from my new size because I still have some weight to lose but I decided to just wait. Those are silver studs all down the side of this one. Cute!
Earrings off the clearance rack for $4.00! I don't think you can ever have too many earrings. I also bought 2 pair of Capri's. I didn't take pictures because they're just capri's. I got a khaki pair & a grey pair.
Earlier in the week I had a Dr's appt. & I had to pass right by Shoe Station. My truck just turned in the parking lot! I need a pair of casual black shoes. Yes, I really did NEED them. Due to an unfortunate incident involving me getting out of a travel trailer, the pair I have are torn up beyond repair. I got these.
They were $40 on sale for $20 & then of course I had a coupon. I've said this before. Don't shop at Shoe Station without a coupon!!! Last week at Logan's party my cousin had on an adorable pair of Yellow Box flip flops. I wanted a pair but they didn't have my size. Friday at lunch I went to the other Shoe Station & they had them.
You can't tell from the picture, they're bronze but as you move & the light hits them they change to purple. Not in a cheesy, ugly way. Like a muted LSU flip flop. Had to have them. Also on sale for $20 & I had a coupon. I also went to Kohl's since it's in the same shopping center. I'm looking for a new swimsuit & apparently I've waited too long. They're very picked over everywhere I go. I really just needed new bottoms. I managed to find a cute one. I forgot to take a picture. Friday night Dean & I ate at La Carreta & then went to Target to check out their swimsuits. I found a really cute top on the clearance rack for $4.99. I'm a happy camper now. I had a great shopping weekend!!
Toodles!
Congrats on your weight loss Traci. Isn't it fun to find all of these things as such a discount?? Have a great week girl!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute pink top
ReplyDeleteI love your maxi and all the tops, Traci. They look very soft and comfy and so cool. Great for summer....Christine
ReplyDeleteAwesome shopping trip!!! I'd love to have a maxi dress, too but I don't know if I could really pull it off. I'll have to try one on someday - maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing such a great job!!! Beautiful purchases, love those wedges!
ReplyDeleteGreat weight loss Traci! It's good to reward yourself with a few new things. Good motivation to keep going.
