One of my 2015 resolutions, like many of us, is to stay on a budget. With this in mind, and my desire to create a French look, I took my beret and booties over to TJ Maxx to create an "ooh la la" outfit. You really can save on designer brands at this store. With the weather still chilly, I headed straight for the sweaters. The sweater and polka dot blouse are both Tommy Hilfiger.

We can probably thank Coco Chanel for the universal desire to look like we just walked off the streets of Paris. Trés chic!!
