Shopping at the Maxx
I’m always trying to find new ways to add color to my wardrobe – and what easier way than through accessories, shoes or a handbag. So I’ve been on the hunt for a bright-colored summer bag. I’ve also been looking for cute summer tops, particularly, weekend wear. You know…something a little sexy.
Armed with a few gift cards, I made my way to the Maxx – TJ Maxx that is. And boy was I in luck! Look at what I scored…
HOOOOOT!! This mustard handbag was only $29.99 and I couldn’t believe it! I love the texture of this leather, it feels soooooooooo soft and delicate. I must admit, the smell of the genuine leather is a bit strong though. Based on my inspection of the seams, interior lining, straps, and hardware, the workmanship of this handbag is A+++++++++. Although this isn’t quite the “summer” bag I had in mind, I couldn’t dare pass up this steal. It will get lots of usage this fall.
This type of shirt isn’t usually my style because I don’t do the visible bra look – maybe a little peek-a-boo of the lacy trim, but not a straight up display of my goodies. At any rate, I thought the fabric was cool and summer-y, which is what I was looking for. Perhaps I can wear it on top of my strapless one piece pant set for a layered effect. If I’m feeling mischievous, there’s no telling how I might wear it. For $14.99, I’m sure I can think of many ways to get my money’s worth.
I also picked up a zebra print cosmetic caddy for $7.99, a pair of hater blockers (BabyGirl taught me that term LOL) for $9.99, and a chunky hot pink necklace for $10.99. I quickly scanned the shoe selection and…*shock*…nothing caught my eye. Overall, it was a productive shopping trip for little to nothing out of pocket.
Do you shop at your local TJ Maxx? Any great finds lately?

The smell of genuine leather bags (sometimes) are really overpowering. When I first got my luscious, $100-on-sale leather bag that was super soft and supple, the stench was overwhelming. I had to rehab the bag in some plastic with really strong soap to get rid of that smell!
Your finds are the reason why I have to stop myself from just browsing Winners (no TJ maxx here) because I inevitably end up buying what I didn’t go in to buy LOL

I love TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I find that with men’s clothing, it’s usually hit or miss. I can always find a good deal on khaki’s. A few weeks ago, I found a really good deal on a pair of Polo Khaki’s which usually sell for $65 at the Polo outlet but I picked them up for $19.99.

I almost never have any luck at my TJ Maxx … maybe if I had more patience … but it’s definitely not the store that I can run in and run out of .

Nice finds! I don’t shop at TJ Maxx nearly as often as I should. I don’t have the patience but when I do go, I always find nice deals.
I REALLY like that purse.

I must officially be old because I can no longer keep up with the current slang. Hater blockers?! What’s that?
