This past weekend I headed to T.J.Maxx to check out the spring trends. I had to do a little digging but eventually found some great items, which I've highlighted here. The trick to shopping at a place like T.J.Maxx, for me at least, is to use laser-like focus as you hunt for things you really need and/or love...and block out the rest. For spring, I'm loving all the pastels from handbags to simple knits...think blush pink and washed out chambray. Distressed denim and graphic tops are still big, while boho blouses, florals, and nautical inspired pieces always seem to come back for spring - no complaints here. I tried to focus on items under $40, so everything you see here is super affordable (with the exception of the nude lace-up heels and powder blue BCBG bag). I ended up buying a cargo jacket for $39.99 (shown above) with a giftcard courtesy of the brand. I may have three such jackets in my closet already but I can never get enough! Loving the cargo vests, too, so versatile and easy to wear. Browse on, and let me know what catches your eye!
