Sister Shopping Day - Outfit of the Day - Bright Color Trend

Sisters are great, arent they? Yesterday I spent the day with my sister, Alisha. It was a day full of shopping, laughter & fun. :) We went on a mini-road trip to Indianapolis (an hour & a half away). She is starting a new job at O'Charleys, and since she is not 21 - she had to a take a short 2 hour class on selling alcohol. Which she said was all no-brainer stuff, but its something she had to do. Of course, we always make time for photo shoots. Here is a couple:

OOTD

Here is what I wore for our adventure:

While she was in her class, I went down the road to Target. (or Tar-jay as my family calls it. :) My husbands birthday is tomorrow, so I was shopping for a few gifts for him. But I couldnt help but to try on a couple things for myself. :) Here's what I found:

 As a plus sized girl, Ive always been afraid of prints, but Im trying to get out of my comfort zone a little. I was sold on this floral print open front top, but I sent a picture of it to my sister, and she talked me down from it. I still may run to my local Target & see if it is available there. It was on clearance for $12.48.

I absolutely LOVED this shirt... But alas, I left without this one too. It is a black shear top (i had a black cami under it.) with an adorable bird print all over it. It has sort of bat wing sleeves, a little ruffling at the neck line & strings that could be tied into a cute little bow. :) Im still grieving it, I HAVE to return for it! $21.99

I know the bright neon color trend is all the rage right now, if you're looking for a few neon pieces to add to your closet, I suggest checking at Target! They had some great adorable & affordable pieces. I took pictures of some of my favs.

 Being plus sized, I am a bit skeptical when it comes to color - especially neon - but accessories are a great way to add some color to your life. These adorable bangles are only $4 each!

 They have loads of colorful necklaces, bracelets, earrings & rings.

 These shoes :O Wowza, I LOVE them! But, I would totally break my neck. So I walked away.
$29.99

This is something I may try -bright colored tanks- I could throw a cardigan & a belt over it & be set!

These were on sale for $8.00

 And so were these.

 I thought these little shoes were the cutest thing! They have them in SO many colors!

$12.00

 I LOVED this bright yellow messenger bag. Great way to add some color!

$24.99

This one too, super cute!

On clearance for $13.98.

While I was in Target, I decided to check the CD section to see what their Contemporary Christian selection was like. I browsed a little myself, and didnt have any luck, so I asked someone where I could find the Christian section. I was shocked at his response, "we dont have one." WHAT?! Now, I know that with all of the online downloading, that the music sections are slimming down in stores. But to completely do away with it? Of course, there was loads of Rap & R&B but no Christian, which really ticks me off! He asked me what I was looking for, and when I told him specifically BarlowGirl, (my favorite) he looked at me like I was crazy!

So as I was walking away, I found a teeny tiny little section of about 6 cd's in the "Inspiration" section. Of course, it was just barely off the floor.

After quite a while in Target, I lost track of time when my phone rings, "WHERE ARE YOU?!" It was my sister, oops! :) So I went to pick her up, and we went to Burlington Coat Factory. It was our first time there, and we were both IN LOVE! The prices are amazing, it is HUGE & the selection is incredible! Then we went to Steak & Shake (yummy & totally NOT on my diet) Then to an Amish cheese shop (total bust, not even owned by Amish people) Then to a really cool place called Warm Glow, which is full of amazing candles, and adorable home decor. Finally we ended the day at a local indoor flea market-type place. It is super fun, and full of lots of goodies. :)

It was a wonderfully full day!

I am going to take pictures of what I bought yesterday, and a few things I bought last week. So, my next post should be a haul. Fun!

Have a great day & be blessed! Look for things to be thankful for today, there are so many!

xoxo.
