Summer Dressing with Target!!!!

The other day I was out with some friends and I was wearing a dress that I bought at Target.  Everyone was asking me where the dress was from.  They could not believe that it really was from Target and was probably not more than $30.  I started thinking…fashion is not about going to the most expensive store and buying the most expensive head to toe outfit.  It really is about mixing what you love,  high and low end pieces,  and the trendy and traditional.  I was so impressed with the selection that I saw at Target recently that I thought I would share some of their new arrivals in dresses with you…Get ready for the compliments!!!!!

Tried dieting?


The more scientific research that is done about dieting and weight gain, we understand that for some people it’s abnormally hard to lose those extra pounds. Some of us are genetically predisposed to gaining weight very easily and that can lead to an uphill struggle. But if you were to speak withThe Bariatric Experts they could show you three different procedures that would untie your hands and allow you to control your weight like everybody else. The gastric bypass and the gastric sleeve are the most popular but the lap-band to sleeve restriction is also a great choice for some. They work with lots of official associations and they’re widely recognized as being trusted professionals in their industry.
