YTT's Look for Less Series: Victoria's Secret vs Target (Jeweled Bandeau Swim Top)

Shout out to my loyal followers!  Without you girls' and guys' support, I'd be nothing!  This is a post courtesy of one of my followers, hence the shout out (Thanks, Charde' aka Betty!)

You can save over 50% off by buying the following swim top from Target ($14) as opposed to Victoria's Secret ($38):

Victoria's Secret - Jeweled Bandeau Top - $38

Target - Xhilaration Junior Bandeau Swim Top w/Broach - $14

TARGET DOES IT AGAIN!: FAB Mossimo COLORED Pumps @ Target for only $29.99!!

Well, folks...TARGET HAS DONE IT AGAIN!  They brought back the fabulous & COMFORTABLE (I can definitely attest to that!) Mossimo Viviana Pumps but this time they are available in RED patent, BLUE patent, BLACK patent, BLACK GLITTER, GOLD GLITTER & CHEETAH PRINT (*RAWR*!).  They are all ONLY $29.99!!!

Background story:  When I came across the Mossimo nude, patent leather, platform pumps at Target, I almost sh*tted my pants.  Not only because of the height of the heel (as most avid Target shoppers know...it's hard to find anything higher than a 3" heel) but also THE PRICE!  The nude pumps were ONLY $29.99!!!  You can't beat that with a bat.  I couldn't pass up the STEAL...and I had been on the hunt for a pair of nude pumps for a while now, so I HAD to buy them.

The nude patent pumps are comparable to the Steve Madden Caryssa pump that runs around $89.  They also had the style available in a gold glitter finish, as well, which was comparable to the Steve Madden CaryssaG pump that runs around $129.

I have yet to see them in person (other than the gold glitter pumps) but I know that they are available online, if you are unable to find them in-store. 

**FYI...I kid you not, these are the most comfy pumps that I own (I have the nude patent pumps - I'm wearing them in the "My Young, Thrifty, and Thriving Fashion Epiphany" post).

My Young, Thrifty, and Thriving Fashion Epiphany

There's nothing like a near-death experience (like almost getting hit by a train...yes, that really did happen) to bring two people closer...there's also nothing like a mutual love for affordable fashion to bring two bloggers closer together.  Both of these circumstances happen to be true for myself and Tiffany of My Fashion Epiphany.

I've always felt a great sense of pride to see a fellow blogger from Northern VA become successful in a short amount of time the way that Tiffany has.  In just a few months, Tiffany has become 1 of 9 lovely ladies to be invited to be a part of Petite Fashion Blogs.

We started following one another on Twitter and developed a mutual respect for each other's venture into the wide world of blogging.  This blog meet-up was my first time meeting the fashionable, Mrs. Tiffany.  She's as endearing in person as she is on Twitter and on her blog.

Without further ado, here are some pictures from our blog meet-up courtesy of her talented husband.  See the end of this post for details on what each of us is wearing.
