[Chelsae Anne Photography] Tee: H&M $9.95/Pants: (c/o) TJ Maxx $12.99/Wedges: (c/o) Dolce Vita via TJ Maxx $39.99/Purse: (c/o) TJ Maxx $12.99/Bracelets: Charming Charlie & Express $10-15/Earrings: Forever 21 $5.95 My experience as the TJ Maxx’s #Maxxinista of the Month was amazing – plain and simple, I’ll never forget it. I feel so lucky to have been given the chance to feature my style and to show other #Maxxinistas-in-the-making that you don’t have to break the bank to be stylish. This look was taken in front of the TJ Maxx flagship store in Chelsea, NYC by my friend and photographer, Chelsae, and with my best friend, Jen, in tow like a trooper. Unlike the day before where we had an RV and a fabulous team of people helping us out, we had a teeny tiny two-door car to change in, no hangers, no steamers, and no Neil Gogoi hair and makeup. We crammed everything and everyone in the car, aimlessly drove around NYC searching for locations to shoot our looks at and as Tim Gunn would say, “made it work.” Despite wanting to toss out my high heels at all those weird cab drivers and people checking me out as I awkwardly changed in the backseat, I enjoyed every single minute of it. Big thank you to my photog, Chelsae, and her new-husband (congrats!), Evan, for capturing so many epic shots in NYC and to my best friend, Jen, for the support, extra “perfume” on standby and for the occasional outbursts of laughter (we almost missed our flight back home because of this) throughout the trip. And to TJ Maxx for making me feel like a freakin’ superstar! So much more is on the way! Stay tuned… Xo, Stephanie
