Rain, Rain, Stay Awhile

Even though it's been very dry around here and kind of chilly, I can't help but think "April Showers brings May Flowers".  And well, it is April 5th.. :)

I've been on a hunt for a cute raincoat for years now... Still hunting actually.  But, my friend, Karlin, spotted this at Target and sent it to me:

Isn't it darling?  The price is even better!!!!

$10.48!!!!!

It's available here.  Available sizes left:  Large/XLarge.

Hopefully some of you snatch it up and pray for rain so you can slip this beauty on and play in the rain :)

Retail Therapy

Do you ever feel your money slipping away even after you keep saving and saving and it never seems like you are catching up?  If so, that's how I felt.  It came to the point that I felt like I wasn't being "rewarded".. And that all my husband's and my hard work was just going to bills.  We even owed on our taxes this year, which still leaves us bewildered.  So I just needed to get out there and shop a little.  Retail Therapy.  I swear it works :)

I didn't spend a lot.  Just a few things that make me smile. :)

Skirt:  $22.80 (My splurge)

Top:  $8.99

Reason I found myself at Forever 21: I had to try this dress on that I spotted just a few weeks prior.

Isn't it just adorable!?  Sadly, it was too short for my taste.  If it was a tad bit longer, I would've bought this over the top two items.  I just love the pleated skirt, the maroon color with the tan polka dots... and the long, sheer sleeves!  I love finding dresses that I don't need to pair a cardi with for work.  Oh well, I'm glad I at least tried it on!  Maybe if my butt was smaller it would've been long... HA HA!
