This past weekend I visited my boyfriend in the wonderful, small town of Kirksville, Missouri. It's a town of about 17,000 people complete with a Wal-Mart, Leisure World (bowling alley), and a small movie theatre. There really isn't much to do at all, but Kirksville does have a Payless. During middle school that was THE place for shoes. I remember always loving their "cute" shoes and cheap prices. Over the years I strayed away from shopping there as I grew out of their styles. Once during college I was looking for a cheap pair of shoes for some sort of occasion and found what I was looking for at Payless; I was pleasantly surprised by their selection. During one college summer I needed money and found a job at Payless. While the shoes are not high quality, they are cute (I always got teased at work for "cute" being my go-to word!) and reasonably priced- especially with an employee discount! During that summer I must have added at least 15 pairs of shoes to my collection. I haven't found myself shopping there much after I left, but with nothing to do in Kirksville on a Saturday and a 40% coupon, my boyfriend and I stopped by. Here's what I got:
Brash Katy Bow Wedge
*40% off coupon*
I absolutely love the big bow on these shoes! I tried them on with a pair of skinny jeans and they looked wonderful! I think I'll dress them up with some tights and a skirt as the weather cools down. Besides being adorable, they are so extremely comfortable!
Brash Rose Earrings
*40% off coupon*
So feminine! I recently purchased another pair of flower earrings- daisy flowers, but they are just too spring looking. I'm excited to be able to wear these this fall!
Onto another store- Walmart.
Early this fall I began the search for a perfect long sleeve t-shirt. I looked at quite a few places, purchased different styles, but ended up returning them. On a quick run through Walmart I picked up a No Boundaries Juniors Long Sleeve Scoop Tee. After trying my purchased on at home I fell IN LOVE! It The sleeve length is perfect, the scoop next is wonderful for wearing a chunky necklace, and the fit is just right. I now have a white shirt, grey and white stripped shirt, black shirt, and tan. I've worn them with a necklace, under a sweater, with a vest- just can't beat the fit and the $7 price tag!

I hit up Target after work tonight to check out their After Halloween Sale. I avoided all the candy, although it was difficult :-) I found a few cute decorations that I'm excited to use next fall!
My first purchase was these adorable spider cupcake holders!
Besides holding cupcakes, I'm thinking that these little cuties could hold a small candle. My mom said the same thing about holding candles after I showed her.
I also got some pumpkin/fall potpourri. It smells wonderful and I'm going to put in in a glass cylinder vase tonight!
My FAVORITE purchase was this beautiful Smith & Hawken® Pumpkin Candle Holder
I saw this pumpkin early September and wanted it soo bad, but decided against due to lack of space and money. I put this beauty in my cart the second I saw the clearance price tag. I might try and find room for it this season, if not, there's aways next.
I can't believe tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!! I have some clothes to return at Old Navy and their Friends & Family 30% off sale is going on, so I'll definitely be stopping by sometime this weekend. I'm off to watch my two favorite shows, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice! Happy Early weekend and thanks for reading!
