Enter The Green E, who's had a long enduring love affair with TJ. Somehow, TJ always caters to her every need and seems to simply hand her the very best stuff he has. She convinced me; I decided that I'd give it another shot.
And I'm so glad I did. Things have gotten steamy lately with TJ. It's red hot love and I don't plan it to stop anytime soon.
This outfit features two of my latest purchases at TJ Maxx; This grey wool tie-blazer thingy, and black patent almond-toe pumps.
I am in love with this blazer/jacket/sweater creation. I felt very professional, but still chic when I wore this to work yesterday. I love it because it has this great structure to it with seaming in the shoulder, yet it's still sort of business casual because of the fabric and the tie detail.
The name on the label is Fenn Wright Mason, which I'd never heard of. It turns out to be a relatively upscale label in the UK as far as I can tell, and this jacket probably retailed at somewhere in the $200 (£125) range. I picked it up for $40! I love a bargain :)
I paired this with a basic black scoop neck tee and wide leg denim trousers. On my feet are the new pumps I mentioned. They're super comfy, and I love the almond toe, it's updated from the classic pointy pump. You can't see it in the picture below, but they also have a cone heel. Love!

So I was still feeling a little guilty about the whole ASOS thing today so I asked my mom what I should do. After I reassured her that they gave me the refund long before I got my package, she shrugged, gave me a high five and told me I lucked out. Mom's word is law! I'll happily wear my new booties with a clear conscience :)
