My home state had a back-to-school tax-free weekend this past weekend and although I was at work for most of it, I did manage to sneak in a little bit of shopping. I tried to temper myself since the discount really doesn't amount to much despite our sales tax being ungodly high.
Really, I only hit up Target, but I found some great stuff. I so wanted to SHOW you all this stuff, but f^@%!#& Blogger is having some widespread image uploading issues (though they've yet to acknowledge it). So, until that's fixed check out the links. UPDATE: Fixed.
I may have bought this grey sweater one size too large because the neckline plunges waaaaay more than is shown on the model (necessitating layering) and it hits me well below my hips. But, I happen to like it this way.
These aren't the exact cropped jeans I bought, but close enough. Mine are a much darker wash and don't hit quite so high at the waist.
This Isaac Mizrahi dress is super-cute in its sorta retro kind of style, though as with all tailored Isaac Mizrahi clothes the fit is really funny. But not so funny that I'm not going to wear it.
Ok. I know this sweatshirt is kind of youngish for me, but it's completely intended to slum around in on the weekends. I love the idea of a short sleeved AND pullover sweatshirt. The print was the least Hollister-ish one I found.
And lastly this t-shirt is much cuter in person than it is on this model. Still, I'm probably going to take it back because I went over on my clothes budget FOR THE WHOLE MONTH in this trip and eliminating this top would put me back within my budget. Plus, I have a whole closet full of green tops. ... Of course they do have this in a plum. Decisions, decisions.

omg that dress is adorable. I think I need it.
You found some great stuff! I love the dress, but know what you mean about the tailoring being funny. It just never looks quite right on me. I also had my eye on the green top you are thinking about returning, super cute! The grey sweater I've not seen yet, but will have to check it out, very classy with a pair of black pants I'm thinking, although, with it being 107 here yesterday, a sweater sounds less than appealing.
Dutchess: I think that was exactly what I said :-)
V: The sweater is super thin and didn't bother me in yesterday's 90-degree weather. Plus it comes in several other colors.
I got that same sweater in purple! It does plunge very low, but it's light enough to wear in the summer. I love it!
Ooh good finds! I really like the sweatshirt.
clothing budget? what on Earth is that? wink!
