Shop It Out

We had a pretty rough Friday last week (hello, stress!), so Saturday we felt the need to kind of regroup and do something nice for ourselves.  The hubster wanted a new baseball cap and a few things at Bed Bath & Beyond... I wanted to take advantage of the Old Navy 30% off sale.  The weather was pretty awesome too, so what better way to spend the day then to do a little shopping :)

First stop was Aeropostale.  Now, before you go nuts and think we're thirtysomethings trying to pull off the teenager look, we just went in to look at hats because he likes the way they fit.  But I did happen to find something too, a new Spring/Summer purse!  I prefer to switch out to a "lighter" bag for the warmer months, something easy and breezy ;)  I got this bag for only $12.99, only in a tan canvas, not the teal pictured:

Next we headed to Old Navy where we picked up two new polos for the man (good for work and weekend) and found just a few things for me too:

Yeah, that's a whole lotta brown, but I love everything.  The dress is my favorite thing and I think it will become my new uniform this Summer.  I also ordered some more things online because the selection really sucked in the store:

So two more dresses (told you they'd become my uniform), some t-shirts (I got a few other colors as well), and a second pair of bermudas (which I'm kind of expecting they'll need to be returned).  I wasn't really expecting to buy that much, but with the sale we bought 11 pieces of clothing plus two pairs of flip-flops for a grand total of $135.  Not bad.

Then we headed to BBB and we each got one of these reuseable to-go cups for when we make our iced coffees during the warmer months, only $7.99:

And I got one of these trunk organizers to help wrangle all the crap that floats around the cargo area of my SUV:

Lastly we hit up Target just to browse (picked up a few things from the Dollar Spot), Barnes & Noble to buy a few compilation CD's (some classical, some new age - music to relax to!), and then a quick run through Ulta (the snotty sales people turned me off and we left with nothing).  To finish off the night we had dinner at Buca di Beppo's.  We usually visit this place with a big group since the food comes out family style, so this was the first time we went as just the two of us and we really enjoyed it.  We shared a small Mozarella Caprese and small Margherita Pizza...and I even had a $10 off $20 coupon ;)  Overall a great day. We went at our own pace, bought some fun things, and enjoyed spending time together most of all.  Exactly what we needed.
