Sale Shopping: T.J. Maxx

In case you didn't know yet, you can shop T.J. Maxx online! Which means shopping the amazing deals while in your pajamas with a glass of wine in your hand. That's the preferred way of shopping, right? The other awesome part is that they have an AMAZING sale section on their site. Even better. I've rounded up some of my summer ready favorites for you to shop here. Can't wait to hear what you find and snag! ;)

Happy sale shopping!

orange and teal

WHOOPS. So I ended up taking a mini blog break! It ended up being good though. Spent lots of time with my family this weekend, and caught up on sleep. Always a win in my book ;) But I'm back today with more outfit posts! Yay! (And blonder hair, thanks to a perfectly timed hair appointment!)
I'm officially addicted to my high waisted jean shorts. I was so reluctant to jump on the bandwagon with this trend, but I'm so glad I did! I wear them more than I ever thought I would, and with them being under $20, I consider them the perfect investment!

spring cashmere

Every time a new season comes around, it becomes my favorite season. So right now, I am just loving spring. Sunshine most days, much warmer weather, and I even like the rainy days! Probably just because it's rain and not snow. Along with this nice weather, basically means a whole new wardrobe, and mixing winter pieces with warmer weather ones. Such as my favorite cashmere sweater!

plaid in spring

I really don't think plaid is a set season kind of print. It is definitely something you can move between seasons just based on how you wear it! Like this dress from Azalea Terrace Boutique. It works in spring because it's flannel and can keep me warm on chillier days, but I also would wear this in the winter too, with tights and a big scarf! I have a feeling this may also be my go to for chilly summer nights as well. Bonfire party anyone? ;)

How do you feel about plaid in all seasons?

cozy at home

Having cozy outfits for home is pretty much essential. I'm in my apartment a lot doing homework and such, and if I stay in my pajamas, I definitely won't get anything done. Cue the cute and cozy outfits coming to the rescue! Lately my go to has been a cashmere sweater I scored on major discount at TjMaxx, and sweater leggings I got for Christmas. (Also these were obviously shot at my parent's house and not my apartment. Obviously.)

cozy in plaid

I feel like it's such a blogger cliche at this point to love blanket scarves, but I really could care less! ;) I'm warm and cozy, and while their largeness cause some vision impairment, I will be wearing them until it gets warm. (Anyone else hoping for an early spring?) And this exact outfit is pretty much my go to. I think I wore it at least four times over the past month. SO COZY. Also, small note about these pictures. I'm laughing in pretty much every single one because it was incredibly windy and snow was blowing everywhere. My dad is such a trooper when it comes to taking pictures, and I swear we moved like five times. #bloggerlife

plaid and turtlenecks

Two of my favorite pieces of clothing right now: turtlenecks (basically have been living in them) and Old Navy Pixie pants. They look cute and fancy, but they are SO comfy! They're stretchy and it totally feels like wearing sweatpants. So pair a cozy turtleneck with a cute pair of Pixies and I am good to go. Add heels and bling to make it even fancier, and add Christmas lights to make it festive! ;)

comfy in aztec

First things first, I'm hosting a giveaway with some amazing and awesome people on instagram. You don't want to miss this one! (Cough, cough the winner will get over $300 in goodies!)

I am all about the big and fuzzy sweaters right now. SO cold. (Today we have a 100% chance of a rain/snow mix. How fun.) Cue bringing out everything fluffy and cozy and warm. Like this wrap sweater. It's actually thicker than it looks, and keeps me toasty warm without letting the window blow through the weaving! Perfection. Add some jeans (with leggings underneath, my fave trick) and some boots, and you're ready to go!

stripes on stripes

Happy Monday everyone! (Or not so happy if you haven't had your coffee yet.) Hope everyone had a fab weekend! I went home for my weekend, and had a great time with my parents! Unfortunately, it's back to classes now. I'll just have to do another fun outfit like this one as a pick me up! Can you believe this striped vest was only $30 at TjMaxx? It looks exactly like the J.Crew one!

dead men tell no tales

It's almost Halloween! Even though I'm not going out this year, and will spend most of my day tomorrow in class and then driving home for the weekend, you can bet I'll be wearing a Halloween theme outfit! Like this one! This shirt is one of my faves from Cakeworthy (aka the best place to find Disney themed shirts that are unique), and it's always fun to see how many people recognize this phrase! (If you don't know, it's a phrase from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney...and I believe they say it in one of the movies too!).

leather and deals

There is something about wearing a leather jacket that makes you feel like you can kick some serious butt! Anyone else with me on that? The fact that almost everything in this outfit was a serious deal makes it awesome too. The necklace was an extra 60% when I got it, the jeans are from TjMaxx and were under $30 (and fit like a dream), and the sweater is also from TjMaxx (French Connection!) and was half off the original price! And the leather jacket. Ohhh, the leather jacket. Probably one of my mom and I's best deals to date. Originally over $400. And by combining all kinds of sales and coupons, we snagged it for a little under $100. We bought it four years ago, and totally still brag about the deal! Now, onto the butt-kicking outfit!
