Who says you can’t mix beachy summer wear in with your everyday style? Not me!

You all know I love to shop for fun and affordable styles. I also love to be creative with my styles.

I learned that when it comes to summertime you can be quite versatile with your clothes.

Recently, I had the opportunity to shop for a very special client and friend here in the Montgomery area. Our brand new morning DJ for Mix 104, Jennifer from JT and Jen show!

She has been so kind to feature some of my stylings on air. She showed off one of my favorite versatile products for the summer that I found at TJ Maxx: a swimsuit cover up.

I picked up quite a few of these for the summer and found one that was shear, ties at the waist, and had gorgeous beading detail at the top of the blouse.

And it was only 7 dollars. Love it.

This is a great transition piece for all of you beach and lake ladies out there. Check out the pictures below and see how I turned a $7.00 item for the summer into a 100 dollar look.

Here’s my proof of purchase….

Also, check out my beauty bargain finds in the next video. I love shopping for my sweet clients but I can’t help finding fabulous fashion bargains for myself. Shh. Don’t tell Jeffery.

Thank you again TJ Maxx! Finding great styles at incredible prices is the way to go for this Southern fashionista.

And a big thank you to Jen for all of her trust in and support of Centsibly Southern! Congrats on your new job! We love Mix 103 at the Handey House.

I found a few more beauty bargain items while I was there, check them out in the pictures below.

A little color blocking anyone?

This silk tank had fuchsia underlining with a bright cobalt blue for an amazing and simple color blocking look.

Accessories are very important to any ladies wardrobe.

Check out what I found at TJ Maxx. These gorgeous pieces would look great with even the simple blouse in the picture above.
