Last week's lament

I found myself slightly feverish, but at Target with a toddler the other day because there were a few things I wanted to pick up. And we needed a quick morning activity to take up some time. It was too cold to go for a walk and felt inappropriate to go to storytime with the way I was feeling on day one of (what ended up being) a five-day cold.

I saw these sweaters and noticed they were about $14. I'm always looking for something long that I can wear with leggings and half price is perfect for Target. Some of my most-worn clothing items over the last ten years have come from the Target clearance section. This is where I'm totally okay with buying cheaper and/or in volume.

I wanted a bigger size so it would be longer and this color had the only medium. All the other colors were light blue, yellow, green/gray and were in XXL, S, or XS.

I grabbed it and left. At the self-checkout, I realized it was $20. Yes. Just this size and/or color (there was ONE) was $20. I felt completely let down. It wasn't such a bargain after all. However, I liked it by that point, and I have nothing similar, and I actually had browsed this sweater or similar ones online this winter and never pulled the trigger. I don't actually have an oversized sweater like this.

I just bought it.

Wrinkles and all. 

Then I tried to take a couple of photos outside because I did buy the $13 tripod months ago and that barely worked.

Here's the sweater and, note, it's $20.99 on the website in every color. At my store, the other colors were $13-14. So it may be worth checking in-store!

This week's lament is that I dropped a full aerosol can of window cleaner on my toe and these are the only shoes I can comfortable get on my feet right now.
