breakfast and shopping

our monthly girl's breakfast was thursday morning. it was such a gorgeous day, i guess everyone wanted to come. (last month there was only 3 of us.) we ate at la madeleine. i had already eaten breakfast earlier in the morning, so i just got 3 lemon madelines and the tiny yogurt parfait and coffee, of course. it was yummy~~and nice visiting with friends. we don't know why jennifer's husband came, but oh well.
jade was visiting from california where she's staying the summer. she's already homesick and had to come visit home!

after breakfast i needed to return something to ross. of course, i couldn't leave without looking around.
i found this cute blouse...

and this darling dress. i can't wait until it's warmer!

then i had to go to target to get some cream for chris' hands. (they get so terribly chapped in winter.) of course, i couldn't leave without looking around. hee hee! and i'm so glad i did because i found these cute things there:
denim crop pants

brown bermudas
this cute vintage distressed shirt

and these adorable shoes!
everything was on sale and the shoes were only $10! yay me!

i have been finding amazing deals lately and have so many coupons to various places, it has been fun to see how much i can get for how little money!
this cute red dress i found at jcpenney and with coupons, etc. i think i paid $4 for it!

i found this long maxi dress at ross a couple weeks ago--it was $6!

this cute sheer blouse will be cute with a black tank and black pencil skirt.
it came from wal-mart--$3!

and, my last bargain of the day, are these cute shoes. they look brown in the picture, but are really a beautiful deep purple. i found them at kohls for $5!

it's so fun saving money~~and getting cute things besides!
(chris often borrows harold meek's line and says: "quit saving me so much money!" ha!)
have a great weekend!

  1. I love everything you purchased!!! The blouses are too cute and the dresses...I don't believe it! You will enhance each outfit...all you girls looked so pretty at your breakfast...made me want to be there with you! Chris must try olive oil on his hands...you know it's good for just about everything!!! Love you!

  2. I was just thinking about that line my dad says as I was reading this! How funny! But you got some amazing deals...I need to go shopping with you. And really cute too! What did you get for Chris' hands? Because Jason has the same problem, but his crack around his fingertips and bleed. It is so painful. Don't know that he would do the olive oil thing....not crazy about lotions but I think he is desperate. So far all I been able to get him to do is put meds on it and put a bandaid to cushion it, but that only lasts for so long. Zim's crack cream is good for heels, maybe it works on hands too.

    Hope I get to see you & McKinlee next week!
