STEALING FROM THE BOYS

The pull of the siren song that is Target's clearance on me is comparable to that of the moon on the ocean's tides. And its the one store where even the kids racks attract me like moths to a flame. Okay, that is plenty of metaphors for one post! My excuse for shopping the kids section is of course to look for cute stuff for my little girl. But do I just buy my daughter's clothes there? No siree. 
Quite some things from the girls section and a few from the Target boys section have found their way into my closet too. Here's one example
Parents of pre-teen boys, please don't be mad at me for stealing your kids clothes before you have a chance to buy them! 

Can you guess what item in today's outfit came from the boys department? If you guessed the shoes or tee, you would be wrong. If you picked the jacket, then you are spot on. Denim jackets are very much in vogue in the summer, and while this is not a color I would gravitate to under most circumstances, there was something about it I really liked, besides the $6 price tag. Yes, I did say $6.
I guess the knowledge that wearing kids clothes would definitely make my ensemble one of a kind was a draw. Am I also one of a kind to steal from the kids or do you also shop the kids section for yourself?  Please do let me know in the comments. Don't leave me thinking that there is something wrong with me!
Tee: Old Navy | Pants: Old Navy | Jacket: Target (similar, similar, similar, similar)
Shoes: Target | Purse: Who What Wear for Target (similar, I have and love this) |
Earrings: Sugarfix by BaubleBar (similarsimilar, similar)

Since I took something from the kids, its only fair that I share a picture at least of my cute photo-bomber kid! I know the lighting isn't doing me any favors, and neither are my lack of photo editing skills. The yellow in the background was just too irresistible to me. I am also attracted to yellow like a lot of other pestilent insects and bugs! Maybe I should have my head examined after all!

Thanks for reading!
