Stripes: they are probably my favorite pattern this season. Actually, stripes have probably been my favorite pattern for a few seasons now. They can be simple or they can be sassy; it just depends on how you wear them!
I had been on the hunt for a black and white striped skirt for a while, but had not experienced much success. Maxi skirts seemed to overpower me a bit, and a few other options I’d tried had either been too short or just not right.
Oh, but then I laid eyes on this striped number by Cynthia Rowley. At T.J. Maxx. For $20.
The slanted stripes in a bandage-wrapped style completely drew me in. I had to have the skirt – STAT! Another plus: the skirt is made from a jersey stretch material, so it is both breathable and comfortable to wear.
I also have to point out my new tote bag (because I’m obsessed) – I scored this item at T.J. Maxx too. Funny enough, the day I bought the bag I was perusing the local mall. I spotted this exact bag for full price at Dillards and had actually been considering the purchase. I decided to wait on it, and boy am I glad I did! About 20 minutes later when I walked into T.J. Maxx, there it was: the exact same bag…in the exact same colors…for $40 less. Sold.
Striped pencil skirt: Cynthia Rowley, purchased at T.J. Maxx (similar here and here), Teal tee: Merona, purchased at Target, Tote bag: Jessica Simpson Getaway Tote, purchased at T.J. Maxx, Cat Eye Sunglasses: Persol (similar here), Spotted pumps: ZARA (similar here)
What item have you scored for a great deal lately? Tell me!
Love this look!
I was actually drooling over a j crew baseball tee, but found one on ebay for 20$! Way less than the $60 I was thinking of paying.
Score! I love when you can find things for a steal!
I think I saw that skirt a few days ago but unfortunately is wasn’t in my size. Love the outfit though.
I cannot believe you scored such a great pencil skirt for $20!! I have such a hard time finding pencil skirts that fit well. I’m going to have to check out TJ Maxx now. Love this whole look.

It was such a lucky moment, for sure!
SUCH a great skirt! and i love your bag!
I’ve had that same experience of lusting after a Michael Kors top at Nordstroms and then heading to Marshalls and seeing the same top for like 1/3 of the price! It’s the best feeling in the world haha
I completely agree! A few years ago I found this gorgeous turquoise Calvin Klein dress for $30 at T.J. Maxx…and then I walked into Nordstrom a few months later and BAM! There it was – for over $100…I had to pat myself on the back a little bit…
LOVE this skirt! My TJMaxx never really has anything that good. Looks great with the shoes, too!
love that skirt
