Carolyn Braden: Ballet Wedge

I've finally found the perfect ballet wedge! I've been trying to find this shoe for months. I love the style, how it's low enough to wear at school and how they can be paired with so many outfits. I purchased these at Broadway Show Warehouse and they are Franco Sarto.

Carolyn Braden's Missoni for Target Scores

There are advantages to being small when it comes to the Missoni for Target collection. Being a teacher, I could not go and wait with the crowd of people at my local Target store at 8:00 in the morning. My local Target store told me the crowd was like a crowd seen on Black Friday. Just about everything in the store sold out by 8:30 a.m. When I went tonight to see if anything was left, I had an idea. I headed back to the fitting room to see if there was any Missoni items that they had not gotten around to putting back out on the racks. There was a wonderful sales girl back there that dug through the piles of clothes and found me two items I purchased immediately. The floral trench and a cardigan. They were in size Large, but a girls size large. Fortunately, I am very petite and both items fit me perfectly and looked great on. I was sad I wasn't able to get a dress, but this coat and sweater will certainly add some fun colors to my fall clothing collection.

Carolyn Braden says "Back to school shopping at T.J. Maxx!"

I hit the jackpot at T.J Maxx again! I went back to school shopping with my sister recently. (We are both currently teachers.) My husband came along too and we all left very happy shoppers. Here are some of the deals we got:







A French Connection dress for $29.99? What a deal! The black jacket was $39.99, but it can be worn with jeans too.


















Look at that "before" price on the pants. I like $24.99 much better.









Shoes: $24.99, Madden Girl
