Impulse Buy

So, I'm in WallyWorld picking up diapers and what not, and a cool, Morroccan-ish pattern catches my eye...

It turns out to be a sort of tunic, that, at least in my sleep-deprived state seems kinda cute. I mean, not gawd-awful, right?

You know, put together with something along these lines...


It's not too "momo/new mommy-with-no-style" style, right? If you say yes, it truly IS geriatric (description borrowed from Erika and Darby), then I won't sweat - since my impulse was rather contained...

I know someone who approves, though, and her opinion matters most!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend, and in some way, honored those to whom we owe the three-day start of Summer.

    Super cute - I would totally grab it! Is it just me, or has Target/Walmart been coming out with some reasonably cute stuff lately in the tunic dept?

    Look at that big happy smile, what a sweetheart! Love that top and the print, you can rock it with the items in your polyvore creation.

    They definitely did not have these on our $1 rack. Great find!

    Hope things are starting to feel back to normal for you :) It's an adjustment, I know.

    I'm with Isla I love it! Great find and for a buck craziness!

    I have a dress I got at Walmart on sale for $4 and I get complements on it all the time! People think it's Tory Burch!

    it's all about what you put it with--and you've done it with style. The average wallyworld customer might slap that on with gray sweatpants but you've brought it to another level.

    Adorable and almost comical at the price! Even at $14 that would be a find!!

  18. CreategirlJune 2, 2010 at 10:52 AM

    Love it!! I would wear it, for that price its a total winner even if you use the fabric later to make a cute pillow!

    Even sleep-deprived, your style meter rocks. And little Isla knows it. She is so adorable. Isn't it just the best when they smile like that the first few weeks, almost makes you forget all the hard work.

    I love the combo you've put together with your $1 find.

    Hello! And for one clam...you could always turn it into a pillow if you didn't like it anymore...eh?
