Quick - to the dressing rooms!

My sister was desperate to get to TJMaxx this weekend (so of course I had to go with her) and we didn't make it there until an hour before closing time. This is probably good for me because I can easily spend three hours in there, walk across the parking lot to the Chili's and have lunch, then go back for more! (Yes, it has been done! Usually when there is Christmas shopping involved.)

With my time constraints, I went first to my favorite area: clearance. I found a bright floral top marked down to $6 and something that might have been a skirt or might have been a dress for $15. Either way, it was reversible, with floral on one side and polka dot on the other.

(sorry for the bad photos, only one more month until I can get the new iPhone!)


Also spotted this charmeuse top reduced to $12, and just for the hell of it, some jeggings for $5.


For some reason, I was drawn to this tie-dye maxi dress. Quite strange since I, 1) Don't think maxi dresses work really well with my height and 2) Really dislike tie-dye. I think it was the hemline that reminds me of my Italy dress that compelled me to try it. It was $20.


Lastly, I grabbed this horizontal stripe top with a beaded neckline. This is a bit out of my stripe comfort zone, since the stripes are a bit wider and more pronounced than I've been going for. It was also $20.


I ended up buying two things. Can you guess which?

I also just noticed I reached 90 followers. Guess I'll have to start thinking about that 100 follower giveaway....

  8. I have to say, I'm also drawn to that tie-dyed dress - I think it is the hemline. I also really liked that striped tank top - v flattering.

  26. I don't know why, but I love dressing room posts. It's so fun to see what people pick to try on and how it looks on them (and of course, which they end up taking home). I think my favorites are the first and last tanks - they both look fantastic!
