These two outfits look exactly the same - can you tell which is from the department store and which is from TJ Maxx? I can't!
Sorry for the long absence from blogging! I was on a whirlwind trip to New York City these past few days, courtesy of the wonderful people at TJ Maxx and Rocket XL! So before I even begin to tell you all about it, I must thank TJ Maxx and Rocket XL - particularly Victoria - for putting together such an amazing event in such little time! Thank you all!
The reason that a handful of bloggers, including myself, were invited to New York during the holiday season was to prove to us that all of our holiday shopping can be done at TJ Maxx. I was a bit skeptical at first, as any slightly-snobby shopper like myself would be, but I have to say that I have been converted! TJ Maxx had everything for everyone on my list!
The gorgeous Alison Deyette shows us three looks she threw together from designer pieces she found at TJ Maxx
At the TJ Maxx Red Carpet Shopping event this past Thursday morning, us bloggers got tips from superstar stylist Alison Deyette on how to find exactly what we're looking for at TJ Maxx. Alison explained that despite popular belief, all styles in TJ Maxx are current season (unless otherwise clearly marked), they are not defective, and nothing is close to expiration. TJ Maxx ends up with such great designer brands not because they were leftovers or rejects, but because the designers simply overestimated how many to send to department stores and boutiques. Therefore, you can find the exact same piece at the exact same time in a department store as you can at TJ Maxx! The only difference is the price!
After the presentation, we were let loose to find our own bargains in TJ Maxx! I ended up in the "Runway" section of the store, scouring through racks of discounted designer clothes straight of the runway. I left the store with a gorgeous Valentino blouse that I'll definitely be showing off in an outfit post very very soon!
Not only did I learn a ton about TJ Maxx (and become a believer!), I also met some amazing bloggers! I got to hang out with the sweet and beautiful Erika of Fashion Chalet, Lee of My Sentiment ExactLee, Julia of Fashion Pulse Daily, and so many more! It was so wonderful meeting you all, and I hope I can make it down to the city for more events like this in the future!
