A different kind of shopping...

(Out with Mommy while big brother is in school.)

  I'm actually not a big shopper.  Mainly because I want to buy everything when I do go in a store.  I can't, and I don't....but I want to.  When I'm feeling like I need a shopping spree, snapping a picture of things I'm swooning over gives me just the fix I need. 

Here are some things I've put in my imaginary shopping cart.


I need a new bathing suit, right?  :-)

I'm also excited to be co-hosting Falling for Friday this week.

I'm diggin' that Target shelf too! When I go into home goods store's I just day dream about what all I'd do if I could afford it!!

I'm on the hunt for a bathing suit. Especially now before they cost a fortune!

Rebecca S. said...

You do NEED a new bathing suit. You deserve one! I'm also wanting a pair of jeans in every color...we should probably go ahead and just make that happen.

Priscila@mommode said...

And you know what? If you don't get a bathing suit now, come May they will be all gone! ;)

I've read that they put out swimsuits at this time of year because many wealthy/upper-class people take cruise vacations during January. I think that is a dumb reason to display them, though...most of us can't leave work for a cruise in winter!

Target displays make me want to re-design my kitchen at least twice a season.

Krista said...

That is exactly why I don't shop more, it just makes me WANT too much! I should try your trick of photographing things and see if it works for me too ;)

I love the link-up, gotta get my act together so I can join in the fun!

Helene said...

ohh i think you have a pretty great closet already!! I love the pieces you put together!!

Unknown said...

Omg, I totally snap pics of things that I want! I love going back and looking at the pics when I get home. I look at them, sigh, and say, one day :)

Dara @ Not In Jersey said...

I too take pictures to help me not buy. that green skirt is amazing!! and i love that target display too.

TheTinyHeart said...

I have those cobalt skinnies from ON! I think if I photographed clothes I wanted, I'd just want them even more :)

I want to buy everything in Anthro, until I look at the price tag. Yikes!! New follower here. Happy Friday (or Wine Day, as we call it in my house;)). Alice @ The Owl's Skull (http://theowlskull.blogspot.com)

Colleen said...

that bathing suit is adorable!! I know. I could buy a ton of the bright colored jeans out there. so cute!

Sybil@PeaceitallTogether said...

Colored denim, green and polka dots...I'm falling for all of those!!

Because Shanna Said So said...

I agree, I feel like my entire house needs a redesign when I go to Target...it kinda depresses me!! ;) I want a pair of color denim and EVERY color too!!!

Lish @ Imprintalish said...

Going gaga for that skirt!!!!! Sooo pretty!

Cassandra said...

Maybe I should try this taking-pictures-instead-of-buying-thing! It seems like every year when the bathing suits in the racks I think the same thing: Really!? already!? I'm always amazed haha.

Rachel said...

I bought a few pairs of colored jeans last weekend and told myself the same thing- "Oh I need a pair in each color!" ha

Megan said...

I love that top from Old Navy! I noticed Target has out all their cute, springy stuff. I had to make myself walk right on by because I spent plenty of money organizing our house this past week.

Kayla Peveler said...

Um your closet is already amazing missy ;) but YES its never too early for a new bathing suit!!

Also, I LOVE THIS LINK UP.

jackie jade said...

wow that target display is calling to me ! ahhh i might need to make a stop, just to see what they have... which is really dangerous for me because i tend to spend money everytime i'm there! have a good weekend.

WHY does anthropology have to be so expensive?!? It's like I need to get a job just to get the employee discount ;)

Anonymous said...

Oh if only we could all shop at Anthro - seriously wondering who does? No one I know! :) ha! But we can all dream! Love that Target display too - I have honestly been avoiding Target for the last month because I've seen IG pics of that display and I know I would not be able to resist coming home with SOMETHING. :) Thanks for cohosting the Falling for Friday link up! nice to meet you! Following on Bloglovin now! Love, Emily

Susannah said...

I have the same problem you do. When I go shopping, I get overwhelmed because I want everything. I did just find a clearance bathing suit at Target for 3 dollars. It's gorgeous and I'm super happy. Out of season clothing is great cause it's always cheaper. :-)

Dawnelle @ Just Dawnelle said...

Oh that skirt in Anthro... I swoon every time I see it in the store... I love everything about it!!! Thanks for hosting with us this week!!

Ok totally drooling over that anthro skirt! Wow!! It's funny because I was just "window shopping" today and taking phone pics of things I liked since I don't have the money right now :) So awesome that I'm not alone in that! Haha. That target display totally makes me want to decorate everything! They have the prettiest home stuff.
Visiting from Falling for Friday!

I also want to buy any and everything when I go to Anthropologie. I'm able to find some decent sales there from time to time but it's just soooo hard!

Chelsea @ Lost in Travels said...

i can go months without shopping and then all of a sudden the shopping hormones kick in! unfortunately it's that time right now but there's no where to go around me!

Unknown said...

My Target just put all the black, white, and yellow goodies on sale!! You might need a vase or two ;)

Amy Shaughnessy said...

I need to go to Target! This stuff would make a huge difference in my room. It is so ugly right now...

Target's really been grabbing me with the frames that they have - I just want to buy all of them and fill them with fun prints

Annie said...

Everyone needs a new swimming suit. I've had my eye on some for quite a while, but I can't decide! I shop like that too. Unless I absolutely love it, I think about it for a long time. If I find myself coming back to it a lot and wishing I had bought it, then it's worth it.

Anonymous said...

These are all thoughts that would go through my head at some point. I'm glad I'm not the only one :)

Care said...

This post rocks my world- that is EXACTLY what I do in my head when I shop-..... oh if only money did grow on a lil tree...:) Love you picks:)

carrieburke said...

I do something similar to when there's too many things I want to buy: I find them online and keep them open in tabs for a few days and just stare at the items I want :P

And that antropologie skirt is so cute! I would buy it if it was about $100 cheaper....
