T.J.Maxx has a fun campaign going on now where they're enlisting bloggers to show off their spring style inspired by some of the latest trends on the streets. They've teamed with street style photographer Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style, who's been snapping stylish fashionistas then recreating the looks using affordable fashions from T.J. Maxx. Above, you can see one example - on the left is the street style look, and on the right is the "inspired by" look using fab pieces from T.J. Maxx.

Here's a detail of the standout piece, a blouse that normally retails for $60 but can be found at T.J.Maxx for just $29.99 (I actually saw these at my store in both the hot pink and a periwinkle stripe).





With a complimentary giftcard in hand, I headed to my nearest T.J.Maxx to put together my own spring stripe look. Keep reading to see what I came up with!

Yesterday I headed to my happy place, aka Target, to pick up some contact solution. No seriously, they have the best price on Boston Simplus! And since I was already there, I decided to stroll around and see what caught my eye for spring. I spied something covetable in just about every department, from the latest Nate Berkus arrivals (that sea urchin will be mine), to everything Threshold (it's like Restoration Hardware on a budget), to some eye-catching striped clutches in the gift wrap/party favor aisle (shown above) - swoon!

I ended up leaving with 4 long-sleeve Liz Lange for Target maternity tees on clearance for $4.48 each, a bunch of dollar bin goodies (check my Instagram for those), a set of three mini Moroccan mirrors for my guest bathroom, and of course, the contact solution. And, I left feeling happier.

More photos after the jump...see anything that's making you smile?
