I'm only slightly exaggerating when I titled this post "20 things I wanted to buy at Target today but resisted" - I mean, who can't use another cozy sweater or long cardigan to pair with skinny jeans or leggings this winter? And that faux fur vest - so glam. I passed it up, knowing my toddler's sticky fingers would find their way deep into the fibers. And those denim overalls - I've been wanting to try the overall trend for months now! But I know better. Can't pull it off. I could, however, pull off a wintery Fair Isle knit by Merona. Yes, that's certainly more my style. Sadly, I only shopped the fashions with my eyes today and instead left with a huge haul from the dollar aisle - I'm in panic mode, wrapping presents and finishing up little DIY goodies for everyone on my list. It's exhausting, but at least it wasn't expensive. What have you bought (or resisted buying) at Target recently?

Haven’t started decorating for the holidays yet? Don’t worry, I’m not judging. My halls are usually decked with holiday decor this time of year, but I’m way behind schedule. The downside is that I still have fall pumpkins lined up by our front door. The upside of delaying? I’ve actually had more time to scope out some festive pieces to add to my holiday collection. If you’re just getting started, like me, then hit up Target for everything. This is not a sponsored post, just trust me that they have holiday decor covered. From pillows to decorative objects to miniature Christmas trees to faux fur throws, Target is a blessing for the holiday decorator on a budget. Did I mention a majority of the decor is under $30?!

Here are my favorite picks under $30:
