Target Clearance Shopping: A Bridesmaid's Dream, Shoes + Dresses Totalling Less than $25!

You've heard a lot from us and other bloggers lately on the importance of shopping year-round for Christmas gifts and decorations to keep expenses lower. But as we head into the heart of the Christmas season, what constitutes "out of season" in terms of sales? I was browsing the Target website tonight, and found some hot deals on summery styles.

If you're a bride and looking for outfits for bridesmaids (or maybe a bridesmaid hoping to influence the bride?), check some of these out. The deals don't get much cheaper on dress shoes and semiformal short dresses! Could you imagine outfitting each bridesmaid with dress and shoes for under $25?

And bonus: you can probably wear much of these to holiday parties now if you accessorize appropriately for the weather (as with hosiery, jackets, etc.). Almost every single item qualifies for free shipping on orders over $50, and if you click through ebates to make your purchase, you'll get 3% cash back.

These are only the beginning of what's available! See all Target Women's Clearance here.
