Oh how I love TJ Maxx Runway! They seriously have the most incredible stuff there. I found this fabulous vest hanging on one of their sale racks, and I pretty much bought it immediately. This gem's a Marissa Webb design. For those of you who don't know her, she's Banana Republic's creative advisor. She was their creative director + executive vice president for a year and a half, but she decided to take on a less time-consuming role for her own label! BR still consults her, but she no longer designs for them.
I feel like people have mixed feelings about her work. Some (like me) adore her, but many find her designs to be "too trendy." What do you guys think? Should BR push its limits and be fashion forward or go back to its roots and stick to classic designs? Make sure to leave me a comment below with your thoughts.
Now, back to today's OOTD. I styled my new vest with a faux-leather skirt and a solid gray tank. I accessorized with a fierce statement necklace and threw on killer heels to up my style game. To finish off my look, I carried a quilted crossbody bag and applied a bright lippy for a pop of color. For those of you wondering, my shoes are from Charles Jourdan, and my bag's from Bag Inc. The latter's a fabulous look for less! Doesn't it look just like Chanel's jumbo classic? Minus the iconic logo of course. Love this OOTD? Shop it here!

A closer look at my illuminating powder + brow pencil - both are incredibly subtle. Use the powder as a highlighter on both your face and neck and build your brows with the pencil pictured above. You won't overdo it so don't worry!
