Dear Husband: Stop Shop-Blockin' Me!

Oh good fun this weekend...as Todd and I were frolicking through Target, yes, frolicking, I decided to take a look at the new dresses and sweaters that made their way into the store. After he patiently waited a few minutes, we and our cart shimmied, well maybe I just shimmied, onward towards the shoe section where he did the unthinkable....he SHOP BLOCKED me with the cart.

Yes, I'm copyrighting it, "shop blocked" similar to the inappropriate phrase that describes a dude who gets in the way of another dude who's trying to score with a girl...

But in my case...Todd got between me and Target merchandise. Baaad move. You just don't shop block Coley. Write that down.

Nonetheless, we had a good laugh and I ended up with the gray Target Sherpa hoodie among 95 other things that we, of course, needed in Target. After a second look in the store, I actually enjoy the contrasting "sherpa" and stiching on the gray hoodie. It looks vintage-y.

Like McDonald's says...I'm lovin' it. Just don't shop block me.

Happy Monday!

Real Life Style Swap: Target Sherpa Hoodie for J. Crew Sherpa Hoodie

I love my J. Crew Sherpa hoodie, but unless that baby is on sale, I can't stomach paying $69.50 for a sweatshirt. But guess what? Target is selling a VERY similar product, also made with Sherpa fleece!

The Target version is also called the Sherpa Hoodie and is in stores and online for $20. It comes in all sorts of colors...black, white, burgundy, teal, gray, etc. The teal and the gray aren't quite as fetching, in my opinion, because of the contrast stitching, but to each her own!

Below is a photo of me trying on the Target Sherpa Hoodie in Black in a size Small. It's super soft and cuddly and since it's the Merona brand it fits pretty true to size, if a bit large. I would go with a small for myself, as some of my things tend to make it into the dryer even if I don't intend them to!
