I feel grown up.
I purchased my first throw blanket.
Are you impressed? 😉
Haha! Seriously, I know it’s not a big deal to most… But to me?? Big Deal.
As resident cheapo in this establishment, I’ve always had issues buying things like this because I felt that they weren’t a necessity. I’ve always admired them, though. I’ve wistfully gazed at gorgeous pics on Pinterest and my favorite blogs and noted these chic throws which, I’ll admit… I pretty much drooled over. Then, I wondered what they cost, ’cause let’s face it. Throw blankets can be pricey.
Time and time again, I’d carry a pretty throw around a store. Let it sit in my cart for an undetermined amount of time as I mulled over whether to part with my precious dough in exchange for this beauteous piece of fabric. And always. I put it back. Returned it to the shelf. The guilt over spending money over something extraneous won out. Every.time.
Now, I’ll admit… I have a few throw blankets. They’re all hand-me-downs though. And none really suit our home as it is now. So, I’ve coveted the newbies. But never allowed myself the pleasure of actually buying one.
Until now.
I found this throw on clearance for $13 at Target. And I was sold. The perfect color with just enough pattern at a STEAL of a price. Done. It goes swimmingly in our bedroom. The perfect compliment to our freshly painted chair and Target-inspired bench…
I love how throws are like the trays of seating.
Need color? Add a throw.
Need texture? Add a throw.
Need softness?? Add a throw.
Need to camouflage greasy toddler fingerprints?? Add a throw.
A good throw can add style and texture to any room in a very non-permanent, changeable way. Switch it up, leave it be. Whatever floats your boat.
So, I did it. I added a throw. And I’m not looking back.
I. Heart. You. Throw. (kisses)

Haha, I love it! Especially as a cover-up for greasy toddler fingerprints! I, too always struggle with buying things new, especially if it’s more than like $10, but it can be so so worth it, especially if you’ve been eyeing it for a while!
Exactly! (says the girl who “splurged” with a $13 throw) I’m a little worried, though, because now I just wanna buy a bunch of throws (#createdamonster)!! Heehee!
haha amazing! A throw can make such a difference and what a great steal! I totes keep things in my cart, only to realize how ridiculous the price is and put them back before checking out. I usually head straight to the clearance aisles and try not to look at anything else!
I know what you mean! You just gotta keep the blinders on sometimes (though I fail at that a lot). 🙂
Love it! Throws are a great accessory! And I definitely carry things around the store only to end up putting them back too! Glad to know I’m not crazy and other people do it too 😉
Haha! Thanks! You are definitely not alone in this! 🙂
You go girl. Buying “fancy” house items is totally a big deal! That one looks perfect for your room too.
Haha! Thanks so much! I’m kind of a little(lot) in love with it (if you couldn’t tell by the many, many pictures). 🙂
You are so adorable in that last pic! Ha! That is one gorgeous throw! And I love how versatile they are.
Aw, thanks Sarah! And same here with the versatility. I love how something so simple = happiness. 🙂
what a perfectly styled casually thrown there looking throw, lol. congrats, lol.

Haha! Thanks! I can’t take responsibility… I literally threw it on there and that’s how it landed. 🙂
