O.k so I had a T.J. Maxx/Marshalls gift card left over from Christmas, that was burning a hole in my pocket. I was determined to hold on to it until this particular time, in order to partake in those clearance and final markdowns. I stopped in T.J. Maxx first, with high hopes, but didn't find too much in the way of clothing, coats, shoes etc. On my way out, I doubled back to the jewelry counter and spotted the Lucky Brand ring. I'm still in "minimal jewelry mode," so I wanted something that could stand well alone. After trying it on, I was sold....the $16.99 price tag didn't hurt much either!
From there I went to Marshalls (I still had a balance of $54 on the gift card), of course I started with the shoes, and was excited to find that the Steve Madden boots had been marked down to $20! There were only two pair left, and thank God one was a 9.5! I love, love, love the navy blue leather.....I'll definitely wear them on into spring. I look forward to a lot of mixing and matching! Nothing more caught my eye in the shoe department, so I was off to peruse the clearance racks. I ran across the maxi skirt, which was just what I'd been looking for....accordion pleats. As I proceeded to the checkout area, I caught a glimpse of the Eva Longoria perfume. My niece gave a bottle to my sister as a Christmas gift, and after a whiff, I thought it one of the best smelling fragrances.
All in all, It was a good shopping day!

One of my favorite things about shopping this time of the year, is the fact that the stores are jam packed with all this "extra" stuff that we only see during the holiday season. The downside to that is, if you're like me, you find all these things that you like for YOURSELF, and have to keep in mind that you are shopping for someone else! Darn it!

This V. Fraas poncho was love at first sight! The mix of colors allows for endless styling possibilities; I also love the fact that it's nice and long.
I added one of my favorite pendants; It's Juicy Couture, from their Spring 2011 collection. I picked it up at T.J. Maxx. |

| Another little something that I had to have.....I bought it on I-ELLA |

| Another T.J. Maxx purchase; London Fog |
 |
| I found this I.N.C. (International Concepts) jacket at a local store that carries department store brands. I haven't worn it yet....I'm looking for a long, crisp, white shirt to wear underneath. |

I picked up this Nicole Miller clutch at the same store.
Again T.J. Maxx; The one on the left is rose gold over sterling silver. The "evil eye," is 18K gold over sterling silver. I layer the two. |
