As you guys well know, one of my all time favorite shopping locations is TJMaxx. I had a particularly good haul of fun new pieces to add to my growing collection when I went with my mom on Sunday night. My mom is my TJ’s partner in crime, and we go at least once a month to shop around and see what’s new. More often than not we always walk away with something super cute for an awesome price. On Sunday I got three new shirts for about forty dollars – and you can’t beat that! Take a look at my latest obsessions:

Here’s a quick breakdown of the brands of each shirt as usual!

• Grey maxi shirt: Gaze USA
• Taupe maxi shirt: Tresics
• Flannel vest: Vanilla Star

I’ve been looking for some cool maxi shirts for forever now. During my last visit to H&M the ones that they had were all knee length or longer, and unfortunately those ones swallowed me whole. Both the taupe and grey shirts that I found were long in the back and short in the front, with the longest part hitting me mid-thigh which is the perfect length for my 5’1 1/4 self. (Because the quarter counts, damnit!) Now I’m not usually a fan of a plain Jane t-shirt, so I had to find something to spruce the look up, and I was really hyped when I found the rocker-cool flannel vest. Pairing both of the maxi shirts with the vest created magic, as the colors compliment each other perfectly. Today I’m wearing the grey shirt and vest layered over a pair of opaque black tights and a black pair of spanx-esque biker shorts. If the maxi shirts were just a smidgen longer I would have no problem wearing them as a shirt-dress with only the tights on- but alas, without the biker shorts I would look like a total hoochie. I’m actually a-okay with the biker shorts though, because it just adds to the grunge look that I was going for today. To complete the look I threw on my pair of Vince Camuto pointed toe booties (also compliments of TJMaxx), my signature dangling black cross earrings (even though I’m not religious in the slightest), and a long bronze necklace with Pinocchio on it (which is a TJMaxx find as well! It’s an oldie but goodie.). My new purchases have lent me a helping hand in achieving the grungy/but still put together look that I love so very much. I felt like such a rock star when I rolled into school this morning in my head to toe TJ’s look – what more could you ask for in an outfit?

I’m on the hunt for more cool maxi shirts, preferably in black because TJMaxx didn’t have any, which is a bummer. So if you know of any stores or websites that are rockin the maxi shirt trend, PLEASE leave me a comment and let’s chat! I hope you’re all having a fabulous Tuesday, and I will talk to you all laterrrrr! Much love. -Sarah
