I've always been honest about having good and bad days in TK Maxx. But when it's good, I love it. I have been on a roll of late, although these items were last month. I am now avoiding TK's as I'm trying to be considerate to my bank balance (and a anxious husband...). Having only properly discovered the benefits of a chino style trouser in the last few years (pre kids, full time work, never felt I had the need) I only had two Next pairs in my wardrobe; grey and pale blue. When I saw these khaki Ralph Lauren ones for £29.99 I grabbed them. The Fenn Wright Manson cardigan was in clearance at £18. Ok, I admit, I really did not 'need' another cardigan, but the joy at finding trousers that fitted so well got me a little carried away. Especially as it went so well with them.

| Linen FWN caridgan £18 |

| Ralph Lauren £29.99 - bargain! |
 |
| Love the lurex through this knit, moves it from plain to interesting |
 |
| Probably a little longer than I would chose for the cardigan, but as I said, got a little carried away! |

The fit of the trousers is amazing,, so comfortable (just not on the hottest day of the year so far...
Tee - Lulu Guinness for Uniqlo |
On the same trip I managed to find these nude shoes. I love nude, especially as they help to elongate a short legged person such as myself! Another very comfortable find, they are all padded under the sole. Leather, £49.99, not bad at all.

| Guess £49.99 |
And finally, probably the biggest bargain of them all, this Gianfranco Ferre cardigan (oh ok, yes, another cardigan but they are versatile pieces in a wardrobe, honestly). Originally £250.00, and no, I would not pay this for it, instead, I paid £20. It is exquisitely made, every stitch, button, detail deserves credit. The quality of the fabric, well the photo's don't do it justice. Already worn very simply with a white vest and jeans, it has a sheen to it, silver not grey. TK Maxx really is worth devoting some time to when you find gem's like this.

| Hanging like this doesn't do it any justice |

| Just so you know I wasn't fibbing! |
