Yesterday I wrote posts here, on Style Key West AND on The Big Piece of Cake – all about my Liberty of London for Target shopping. And I promised that I’d post pictures of everything I bought.

I didn’t buy any of the cute home goods because quite honestly, we don’t need them and I couldn’t justify the purchase. But we do need some new clothes – so that’s what I have to show you.

First – the adorable outfits I got for Eleanor. I wish I could have taken pictures of her modeling them… But as I explained on The Big Piece of Cake yesterday, her taste level is questionable and I’m going to have to trick her into liking them in spite of the fact that they’re not pink and emblazoned with Disney Princesses.

The kids’ clothes really were the best of the lot. And we splurged on five outfits. Which she may never wear… We’ll see.

Then I got four things for myself. I’ll admit that much of this stuff looked better online. But isn’t that always the way? And I had to laugh when I read someone blogging about how bad the quality was. Um – you did know this was Liberty of London for Target right? Did you look at the price tags? You get what you pay for.

But all in all – I was very pleased with my purchases. Which included…

This yellow coat:

I couldn’t resist. It was so darn cute – and I’ll probably get a lot of use out of it in the Spring worn over jeans. But it could also be dressed up a bit. I’ve always been a sucker for what I call “little old lady clothes” – meaning pieces that would look just as great on your 85 year old grandma as they do on you. The only thing I really hate about it is the choice of buttons:

They’re like big onyx marbles. Very awkward and heavy.

You can actually see the threads pulling. I give it one to two wears before buttons start falling off. I’m going to replace them with something more practical. I’ll let you know what I come up with.

Then there was this sweet little sun dress:

And yes – I am strategically placing my legs to hide problem areas. They’re not my best feature… Anyway – I thought this would be perfect for hot and humid DC summers. And I could possibly even dress it up a bit if we go out or something (it could happen.)

My surprise purchase though, was this pink top:

Not really my usual color choice. But I really liked the neckline:

Bottom line – it was cheap. So why not?

This last one was the first thing I put in my cart and the only thing that didn’t get put back on the rack several times as I waffled on whether I wanted-needed-actually liked it:

It’s supposed to be a bathing suit cover up, but I’ll probably just wear it as a tunic. I don’t do fancy pool outfits these days…

So that’s it! What do you think? Did you buy anything of note?

*Please ignore the ugly background. My bedroom (as I mentioned earlier today) is the one room that we did nothing with when we moved in three years ago – but it’s time…
