While these clothes aren’t slated to be released for another six months, there are definitely accessible runway trends that can easily be incorporated into your wardrobe and on any budget.

Last week I attended an event that combined my two loves: fashion and home decor. TJ Maxx launched their latest campaign, Maxx Life, and costume designer Jenn Rogien {Girls, Orange is the New Black, etc.} dished on how to tell the story of who your are via what you wear and how you decorate your living space.
At this interactive event, we were given a character narrative and then had to create a full look for our woman to wear as well as decorate a bookshelf that represented our girl's overall aesthetic. Our home and style needs were met with finds from TJ Maxx!

It's no secret I'm a bit of a thrift shopping pro. I mean, I literally wrote the book on how to thrift shop. But you know something else? I still have total fails and I leave the store empty handed. Whether you're a novice or a pro, everyone has experienced thrift shopping trips that result in little to nothing. And that's totally ok.
Here's what you should do if you strike out while thrift shopping.
