Earlier this week I paid a visit to T.J. Maxx to scope out the spring trends for you guys (not for myself, sadly, because it's still polar-vortexing in Connecticut). I saw lots of things to look forward to, from colorful print dresses (daisies are everywhere) to ankle strap flats and shiny statement necklaces. There were also lots of wear now and later pieces like embellished sweatshirts and boots with cut-outs. Kate Spade Saturday appeared to be new on the scene - I spotted some delicate jewelry and a striped canvas tote bag by the designer brand. So what did I buy? A Lamaze book for $0.70, some Munchkin outlet covers, Method hand soap, a gold chevron stripe notebook, a Green Toys submarine and lentil chips. Nothing too exciting but at least I saved a few dollars on things I needed anyways.

Keep reading for more photos of fashion finds I loved under $30 (except for the designer handbags towards the bottom, those are just to tease you).
