Guess the title of this post would be more aptly named, "The Family Who Shops At Target Together, Stays Together And Goes Broke Together." I've said it once and I will say it again — those $1 bins are the sneakiest money wasters I've ever known. One moment you think you are simply buying a couple bucks worth of things that you've made up the lousiest excuses as to why you need them. (It has a geometric pattern and it's only A DOLLAR!) Then you get to checkout and it's like a bomb has been dropped on you.

Cashier: "$97.23."

You're all: "How much? I only bought milk and dish soap!! And a couple of lame things in the dollar bins ... Oh. OH. OHHH!"

I digress.

This post is really about how to easily add some dimension to your wardrobe by wearing prints, all while staying comfortable and practical. I personally prefer a good printed pant. It's a fun trend for the spring and summer, and pairs nicely with a roomy, plain tee (or a plain button-down for us nursing mamas) and a bright pair of flats. Throw on your favorite sunnies, a good chunky watch or bracelet, and you're good to go!
