Shop Til You Drop (the Online Version)

Does anyone remember that old show "Shop Til You Drop"?  It followed "Supermarket Sweep" in the most amazing after-school line-up a tween could ever dream of.  Oh how my sister and I lived for that thrilling hour of consumer mayhem.  "When you stand at the checkout and hear that beep, think of the fun you could have on *audience chimes in* SUPERMARKET SWEEP!"

Well, these days, shopping til you drop involves me, my laptop, and some sketchy reality show playing in the background.  You name it, I buy it online.  My daughter's crayons are down to their nubby ends?  I can buy those puppies at Amazon (Puh-rime shipping, people!) and they'll arrive in no time.  Of course we do our fair share of Target outings, but to be honest, we often do it so the kids can get out and play with other people's toys and I don't always go with a list.

Lately I've been thinking about refreshing the old wardrobe.  My closet is filled with oversized post-pregnancy clothes, ridiculously tight and short pre-pregnancy wear (has my ribcage really grown that much?), and things I can actually wear, which is a very small percentage.

Determined to get my sexy back, I turned to Old Navy online shopping (after receiving countless email ads for 125% off and finally deciding, ok Old Navy, you can GIVE me your clothes!).  Friends, this was the decision of a lifetime.  I found the cutest tops, such as this number which I now own in 3 colors:



This casual yet elegant blouse (I think I was hooked by the model's "take no prisoners" pose, and the top ended up being just as sassy in person):



And, over at The Gap, I snagged this cozy number:



Happy back to school shopping, moms!
