10 things you don't need in your closet / Closet cleaning tips & tricks

If you're on a budget, you might be hanging on to clothes and accessories you got a great deal on - or spent a small fortune on - but don't really love or wear. Don't hold on to things out of guilt or simply because you think more is better. Streamline your closet and you'll find it easier to get dressed in the morning - and easier to resist bad purchases in the future.

(More) Spring Shoes at Target: The Good, The Bad and the Just Plain Ugly


Spring shoes at Target

I've already shared quite a few in-store photos of the spring shoes at Target (here and here), and the big-box retailer continues to bring out more styles for us to choose from. Some styles are repeats from last year like these Sam & Libby "Ashland" sandals, which got a facelift this season and is now available in an on-trend metallic light-blue (we love the light blue trend!)
