Piece of the Week TJ Maxx

Ankle pants are a great piece that can be worn from day to night. For example, take a pair of cropped black slacks, add some heels and tuck in a classic white button up and bam! You have a chic office outfit. Then simply change into a printed chiffon top and it’s off to happy hour.

Now, I am not always a fan of the searching through crowded racks and shelves of T.J. Maxx, but the truth is you can find some great deals. Take this week’s piece, for example. I found these pleated Michael Kors slacks, originally priced at $99.50 for only $39.99. I often see the exact same items at Dillard’s and T.J. Maxx, so contrary to popular belief, not all of their merchandise is from last season. Another great thing about this store, is that while you might have to do a little looking, it’s unlikely that you will have on the same thing as the other girl across the room.

The most important thing to remember when searching for the perfect pant is fit is crucial! Pay attention to your body type. My favorite is the slim fit that hits right at the ankle. I love them with heels or sandals, and they accentuate my butt while slimming my short legs. If you have chicken legs, try a trouser cut. I always like the polished pressed look complete with creases.
