Remember when I Instagrammed this dress last year? It was Free People {a brand I love} and majorly discounted at TJ Maxx. I knew I'd get tons of wear out of the fitted, printed dress. A dress like this can easily be saucy with a high heel or a bit more casual. Now that the temps are dipping again, I'm back to rocking the Free People dress. And this time around, I decided to keep the frock pretty casual thanks to a few add-ons like accessories and a cable knit top.

The fashion gods have answered our prayers: TJ Maxx has finally launched an e-commerce site. The affordable chain was once only for those lucky enough to have a store in their area, but now, every budget lover can get her hands on affordable fashion and discounted designer finds. Check out a few of my favorite fall pieces below and why shopping online might be a better experience than visiting the actual store.

Housing Works Buy the bag sale, thrift store warehouseThere's something so beautiful about dresses from the 40s, 50s and 60s. The silhouettes flatter a woman's figure all while being classic and refined. So I was amazed when I came across a gorgeous dress at Housing Works Buy the Bag. The print. Halter neck. Full skirt...but it wasn't vintage. It was a modern Anne Klein frock. Either way, I loved it and scooped it up {psst: Housing Works Buy the Bag offers clothes for $25 per bag, so this cost less than a buck!}. I'm not a fan of head to toe vintage {it can be too costume-y for me} and the dress was two sizes too big, but styling it was super easy.

DSC_0599 I can't wait for spring to arrive on Wednesday. Seriously, I'm over the cold NYC weather. Though some people tend to wear more drab colors in the fall and winter, I'm all about wearing my brightest threads any time of the year. And I think I actually wear even bolder tones during colder months just to perk my mood up. This past weekend, I threw on a ton of blue, red, pink and colors in between for a fun look. My vintage Mickey sweatshirt and Laundry by Shelli Segal trench are both from Housing Works Buy the Bag at just $1 each. Check out this week's Thrifty Threads. And I'll even show you how to give your classic trench coat a little update.
