Tropical Breeze

Since this is my last post in the T.J. Maxx series of Spring Trends, I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone a little.  When we were asked to focus on prints, I originally found a cute pair of polka dot pants that were totally “me”, but also a little safe & predictable.  Then I came across this mirrored-print tropical sheath and, though it is definitely a bold choice, it’s totally modern + on-trend for the season.  And when I saw that it was a designer label I love for nearly 50% off what I would have paid at a department store, I knew I couldn’t pass it up!  


It’s usually really difficult for me to find a flawless fit when it comes to sheath dresses (thanks to my pear-shape), but this one hugs in all the right places without being too clingy…and the length is just perfect.  I’m already dreaming up other ways to style this beauty – adding a structured blazer for a more sophisticated spin or wearing it as a skirt with a white tee knotted at the waist, metallic flat sandals + panama hat for a day-appropriate look.




Thank you so much to T.J. Maxx for this incredible partnership opportunity – I’ve loved every minute of these challenges and have had so much fun sharing my MaxxStyle Scout finds with all of you!





Our MaxxStyle Scouts are making the latest trends their own, and sharing tips for ways to express yourself through fashion. You never know what you’ll find at TJ’s – the possibilities to express your personal style are endless.

    I love it! It's good to step out of your zone. I can easily imagine wearing that to a summer wedding or out with my best friends. I love the shoes you chose too! I can't believe you think you're a pear shape. Lady, you are MODEL shaped.

    This dress is super cute and looks AMAZING on you. The only thing I haven't loved about the TJ maxx collaboration (and it's with all the bloggers) is that you can't share the names of the designers. It just seems a bit disingenuous, even though I know it's likely a condition set by TJ Maxx. I'm in Canada, so I don't have TJ Maxx near me.
