In Which I Raise a Common Shopping Trip to Mythical Proportions

Guys, the Target gods smiled upon me the other day.

I went to Target, Tarjay, the Red Dot Boutique, whatever you want to call it, in search of a good lippy

Strolling through the doors, I immediately felt it: there was magic in the air.  Today was going to be a good day. 

I searched those cheerful aisles, hypnotically stacking things into my basket.  You know you can't go into Target and only come out with the thing you went in for, so of course my basket was boasting quite the collection of randomosity by the time I made it over to the clothing section. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just wasting time on a rainy afternoon. 

AND THEN. I SAW IT.

Peeking coquetishly from the sale rack, of all places. The most adorable mixture of librarian tweed and rocker leather. A shift dress just longing for a Twiggy to take it home.

And miracle of miracle, it was on sale, in my size, and the only one I saw. 

"Well!", I thought, "this is surely a sign from God that I should buy it." Obviously. 

I flew to the dressing rooms, slipped that gem over my head, and knew that I had found love, true love. 

I swiftly changed back into my regular clothes (a light went out of the room as I took that dress off, I swear it.) and grabbed my basket, practically skipping to the check out. 

BUT WAIT.

My basket. It was practically over flowing with items I had deemed extremely important only 10 minutes before. Before MY LIFE CHANGED that is. I quickly re-evaluated my purchases, leaving only what was necessary.

 What made the cut you ask? My lippy of course (Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stain in Charm, by the way. lovely.), a pretty sweet vase that I will be using as a centerpiece for my Wedding inspiration (also a sale, whipcha!) and of course, The Dress. Oh, and a set of measuring spoons for my mom since I used hers to measure out hair dye and ruined it. Whoops.

yes, the Target gods smiled upon me friends.
