Shopping with Jaclyn for over 3 hours in TJ Maxx for her Maxxinista Makeover was so much fun. And even though I tried really hard to focus on shopping for her, I managed to fill a shopping cart of my own!
During Jaclyn’s little maxxinista shopping spree, I helped her find some absolutely fabulous pieces including an Elie Tahari blazer that retailed for $400 and was marked down on clearance for only $39.00! If you haven’t seen the video of her shopping spree yet, please go watch it!
I didn’t find any deals quite that amazing, but I did find a couple items I had been on the hunt for!
Here’s what I found for myself…
All my items that came to only $111.86!!
L to R:
-
Leggings $3, $7, and $5
Calvin Klein Skirt $5 (Retail $55.00)
Leather like Jacket $10 (Retail $49.00)
L to R:
-
Denim Leggings dark $13 (Retail $35.00)
Denim Leggings gray $12 (Retail $30.00)
Gray Skirt $5 (Retail $20.00)
Jaclyn and I totally cleaned out the belt section of that TJ Maxx store…
L to R:
-
Chinese Laundry studded belt $10 (Retail $30.00)
Betsey Johnson red belt $7 (Retails $78)
Linea Pelle leather belt $20 (100+)
So what do you think of my purchases? I am super excited and I can’t wait to shop at TJ Maxx again!
Thank you to TJ Maxx and RocketXL for providing the gift cards so we could have this amazing TJ Maxx Maxxinista shopping experience!

What a wonderful blog / website! I just found you while out wandering around the blogosphere, and I am so inspired to see “regular girls” having a place to come together around our fashion ideas. Wondering . . . . do you include refashioned / vintage / upcycled garments, shoes, and accessories in your fashion category? With the economy struggling recently, I have found that many women are intrigued with the unique personality that is found in vintage fashion. Or “almost vintage,” or whatever one wants to call it! Take a peek at my Etsy shop to see what I mean: http://www.gossamerwingsstudio.etsy.com and visit my blog if you have a minute at http://www.mamaslittletreasures.typepad.com
I’ll be back tosee what you are up to, and perhaps I can contribute to the conversation. Keep up the good work! Nina @ Gossamer Wings Studio
Oh . . . . one more question . .. . are your readers the DIY type of fashionista? I see a category for Plus Sizes, and I am currently researching the possibility of writing a few eBook patterns for plus size garments. The patterns I have already written are primarily for children’s designs and home decor / craft items, but I’ve been thinking about branching out. Just a thought!

Hi Nina,
Thank you for visiting the site and leaving a comment! I do try to include articles about recycling what you already have and buying second hand to save money. We have a lovely article written by one of our guest bloggers you might find interesting. It’s titled, Do You Recycle Clothes?
You could talk to The Curvy Fashionista about ideas for DIY plus size clothes. She might be able to help you more with that!
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Hi FH!
I love seeing what you got at TJ Maxx. I am most excited about the belts. I mean, Betsy Johnson and Linea Pelle! I have been looking for a Linea Pelle belt, but even on eBay they’re soooo expensive!
If you ever need another guinea pig to do a makeover for, think of me!
xo,
