Yesterday, I was invited to a Marshalls/TJ Maxx event to check out some new spring fashions. OK, I know I write about them a lot, but oh my god, do I love these stores. When I first started at NonSociety, I attended a Marshalls/TJ Maxx event hosted by Robert Verdi at which I was given a gift card to each store. I’d never been before, because I thought it was sort of like Strawberry…not realizing that they have incredible deals on designer clothing just like you’d find at an upscale department store (and when I say incredible, I mean that I found my mom a black sequined top worth nearly $400 for $39.99). But I figured I’d give the places a shot, being as I am not one to waste perfectly good gift cards.

I am now a total convert. (I kinda prefer TJ Maxx over Marshalls, but I think that’s because the Marshalls I’ve been to – the one on West 125th Street – isn’t the prettiest, and the new TJ Maxx store on 100th and Columbus is spectacular).

Above, I’m checking out some gorgeous flats that I very much want to be wearing this spring.

Gap sweatshirt (yeahh…I bought another one), Item necklace, Kooba bag.
