I like to score

T.J.Maxx has long since been my favorite place to shop, I can spend hours in there, pouring over the racks, searching for the perfect piece, hoping for that designer item on clearance that I will actually be able to afford.

Because T.J.Maxx is a store that I frequently shop at and blog about, (and a purse I bought there four years ago is sort of the reason I started this blog in the first place) you can imagine how excited I was when T.J.Maxx offered me $250 to go shop and find my perfect Score.

I almost always head to the clearance racks first, and this WDNY printed blouse drew my eye with it's gorgeous design and great autumnal color pallet.
Then I checked out the petites section (wish it were a little bigger) and found this Calvin Klein pencil skirt. I am a sucker for the small details; exposed zipper pockets with leather trim? Sold.

Checkout the rest of my scores at the bottom of this post and come back later this week to see how I've styled them and for a giveaway!

  5. I'm glad to see an epic leopard belt made its way into your haul. :)

    I like TJ Maxx too--I just got the most amazing ceramic horse head for $25. It's identical to one I'd been wanting from Z Gallerie, but like $150 cheaper. Baller status.

  43. I love this bag- it's so cute. I always tend to lean towards black, so I probably would have picked up the black one, but I like this color as well!

  44. I love TJ Maxx I just need to stop by more often. You always find such great scores there. Especially that blouse, skirt and bag!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I am definitely majorly jealous of that gift card. I'm totally a fan of the scarf prints I've been seeing around lately. How lucky to have three great TJMaxx stores! I think New York can be hit or miss, and sometimes so expensive :(

  46. Love the outfit & black vintage coach bag!
