(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!
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.
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.
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!
ohh i think you have a pretty great closet already!! I love the pieces you put together!!
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 :)
I too take pictures to help me not buy. that green skirt is amazing!! and i love that target display too.
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)
that bathing suit is adorable!! I know. I could buy a ton of the bright colored jeans out there. so cute!
Colored denim, green and polka dots...I'm falling for all of those!!
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!!!
Going gaga for that skirt!!!!! Sooo pretty!

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.
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
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.
Um your closet is already amazing missy ;) but YES its never too early for a new bathing suit!!
Also, I LOVE THIS LINK UP.
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 ;)
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
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. :-)
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!

oh that skirt! I would love it! I'll add it to my imaginary cart as well
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!

green skirt! <3
I totally agree. ones you bought colored pants you realize that you may need more suiting to more outfits:) and i loove the swimsuit top, polka dots and bright pastells instantly spread good mood. Following you along "falling for Friday" really happy to have found you. I used to dance ballet and jazz dance in my teen ages and really want to start again! greetings from far awy Germany,noni!
Target never fails to impress. Ever. And wouldn't it be amazing to buy everything from Anthro... swoon!

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!
My Target just put all the black, white, and yellow goodies on sale!! You might need a vase or two ;)
I need to go to Target! This stuff would make a huge difference in my room. It is so ugly right now...

I was just thinking today that I need more colorful stuff in my closet! I have to go shopping asap :)
such a lovely boy :)
that maxi skirt is so cute! too bad it's so expensive!!
haha it's like window shopping, but you go a step further and take photos, so then you're KIIIIND of taking the things home with you? yeah? I don't know, but thanks a lot, now you've made me want everything too. oy vey.

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
Ummm that green Anthro skirt is SO gorgeous! And you definitely need a pair of jeans in every color :)

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