Not quite the type of outfit I expected to buy, but I was just as excited about it

Today was a great day for me. H&M, which I discovered and fell in love with after we moved to VA, opened a new store closer to us. Today was the grand opening.

Before, I had to make a pretty decent drive to visit my favorite store (which was probably good for our bank account). After lunch today, I found myself near the new store. I originally wasn't going to go, but the temptation proved to be too great. Especially when I drove by and saw the place wasn't as crazy-busy as I thought it might be.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw it: An adorable dress. Perfect for warm weather. Cheerful. My favorite color was all over it. I was in love with this dress.




















Since ER told me she was pregnant, I have resisted the urge to buy something for the baby. It's her first child, and if I'm this excited about choosing gifts for the baby, obviously it's even more exciting for her and her husband. No, I've told myself, I'll let them register, and I'll get something then.

Since ER called me to tell me that little Nacho (what they called their baby, since ER's husband is Mexican) is in fact a nachette, it's been even harder to resist, but I've done it.

With this dress, though, I gave in. What was I supposed to do, when it comes with an adorable matching hat and a price tag of less than $10?! (LESS THAN $10!!!)






















Did I mention ER's favorite color is yellow too?

See? Totally meant to be. And totally in the mail on its way to surprise ER.

Perfect dress and perfect price! Antee's have to spoil their nieces and nephews from the time of conception -- it is in the Antee handbook...so you are just doing your job! My best friend's kids think that all parcels are from Antee K (usually they are)...but you have to start young to train them to think that way!

OMG! I love it! I agree with Kari, that's the job of an aunt, to spoil the kiddo like crazy! :)

My favorite color is yellow, too- great minds!
