10 Fall Fashion Trends

I love fashion, and I’ll be having the baby just in time to slip back into some Fall fashion! I’ve been paying close attention to the upcoming trends, seeing what the celebrities are wearing, what’s in stores, and what I see on people when I’m out and about. A lot of the trends are super transition pieces, or you can literally where them all year long. I love this because, I recently did a clothing haul and I think, with the except of the harem pants and a few others on the list, I didn’t do half bad! Plus, with baby coming the shopping shifts from me to baby…for pretty much the rest of eternity, or until baby (and subsequent child, God-willing we have more) get 18 or actually that’s 22 with college and all.

As I digress, here’s my list of the top 10 Fall fashion trends: Continue reading →

Posted on September 11, 2013 by XT Reid

So Saturday I found myself back out at Old Navy, I know…I know, getting more baby clothes. I’ve unleashed a beast! However, its now without good cause and reason. My poor kid didn’t really have any clothes, since we are … Continue reading →

Fall Haul ~ Old Navy, Charlotte Russe, Bath & Body Works…and a Baby Buy!

Posted on September 3, 2013 by XT Reid

I did some shopping…okay it was an all out haul over the Labor Day weekend. I hadn’t been shopping my entire pregnancy, and pretty much in an entire year. It felt really nice to finally get some things just for me (and well a few things for baby too). When I shop I usually just do the weekly grocery and household shopping. Even if I go somewhere like Bath & Body Works, I rarely shop for myself there anymore. I typically just get soaps or home fragrance or bodycare for my husband, since he like the Men’s shower gels and body sprays.

I wear a uniform to work everyday, so I don’t have a huge need for lot’s of outfits…right now. When baby comes, I’ll be out in the civilian world a lot more than I am now and I needed some new threads to wear. I’m so excited about everything I got, because its not only great transition clothes from pregnancy to non-pregnancy, but I can wear them throughout all 4 seasons.

I definitely got my money’s worth, getting 45% off everything I bought at Old Navy. I also saved at Bath & Body Works, using a $10/30 purchase coupon for my bodycare and a free item coupon with my soaps to get the body splash for free. And I can’t forget the 10% military discount I received on my purchase at Charlotte Russe. If anyone knows me, they know I never pay full price for anything retail. I been shopping for a long time, and if its one thing I know how to do well, its shopping.
