Mad Men Style and T.J. Maxx

I have teamed up with three fabulous Boston bloggers and T.J. Maxx, / Marshalls for a fun style competition featuring the 1960's Mad Men styles.  Each of us could borrow up to $200 in merchandise from a T.J. Maxx or Marshalls of our choice and style an outfit inspired by trends from Mad Men.  I selected the T.J. Maxx on Needham Street in Newton, MA and they had a great selection of items to choose from.  In fact I ended up getting sidetracked in the Runway section which features items from Missoni, Sachin + Babi, Helmunt Lang, Tibi, and other top designers.

Check out how these ladies styled their outfits.  A huge thanks to Lani for inviting me to participate in this style challenge.
