It Simply Makes Me Smile

I went to Target the other day to spend a little Christmas money I received. I'm all for the clearance racks and bargain prices. I'm cheap, what can I say? But every once in a while I will actually pay full price for something. *gasp!* Shocker, isn't it?!

Lately I've noticed that my beloved store, Target, has holiday shirts for around five bucks! I consider that a good price for something that would typically be worn only a few weeks a year. But still, the price still doesn't scream 'grab me and run' (to the nearest cashier. I don't want you thinking I have sticky fingers!). However, the other day I came across some Valentine shirts for seven dollars. I thought some were cute and another actually pretty, but still not fabulous. But then I saw this shirt! I liked it and it was only seven dollars! The thing I liked, aside from the price, is that it doesn't necessarily say 'hello, I'm a Valentine shirt', so I can wear this long after the day has passed.

So I nabbed it, and ran (ok, I casually walked to the checkout lines). And yes, I know, it'll most likely be seen on the clearance racks on February 15th for 2 bucks, but I'm still pleased with my shirt and the price I paid. It's the simple things in life that make me smile.

That is very cute - and I agree, you can wear it long after Valentine's day. Good find!

I love when their holiday shirts don't scream the holiday. Easter ones often just look "springy"
oh that Spring would come soon!

I still couldn't tell it was a Valentine's shirt, so that's a great deal for a non-seasonal shirt. And very cute to boot!

Very cute shirt. I don't know what it has to do with Valentine's day. You could wear it all year. Our nearest Target is 4 hours from here. But, we have a Wal-mart with in 1 hour.
