Last weekend, I organized my closet and selected a few items I would be donating this week. I initially put the ruffle, polka dot top I’m wearing in today’s post in my donation pile, but decided to give it a second chance in my wardrobe. Ruffles, particularly bold ruffles, are on trend this season after all.
What’s a great way to see if a top is a keeper? Style it and wear it! So, here’s my old, ruffle top as worn to a blogger meet-up at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis last night.

Thanks, Kelsey! It was great seeing you. I love your maxi dress too btw.
I love the top! I'm so glad you're giving it a second chance.
And all I can say is Wow! on the great TJ Maxx finds! I never imagined you could find those brands there.
Thanks, Cheryl. Yes, TJ Maxx carries an amazing assortment of brands. Lately, I've spotted lots of Kate Spade stuff, from the jewelry/accessories to the dresses.
Are you kidding? You found those at T.J. Maxx?? Amazing. And I love that pop of color! Maybe I should stop buying all neutrals… Ha!
Best,

Yes. Yes. Julua. TJ Maxx! You would totally rock bold colors btw.
I live in St. Louis too. Which T.J Maxx are you shopping at? Love everything about your look. BIG fan of your hair!
Hey fellow St. Louisan! These finds are from the TJ Maxx store in Kirkwood (1046 S Kirkwood Rd). My favorite Local one, though, is the Runway TJ Maxx in Des Peres (12129 Manchester Rd). The designer finds available in that Runway store are amazing and they often make it to markdowns.
Love the look and the great jewelry from T.J. Maxx!
