A few weeks ago I was asked by the lovely folks over at TJ Maxx to go shopping, in it. Specifically I had been invited to get a what it like to shop "off price". So equipped with a $50 gift card I visited my local TJ Maxx to do what I do best, shop.
I had been already acquainted with my local TJ Maxx, in Glendale we have a relatively new store that boasts a plentiful stock of stylish clothing, including many large designers names at substantially discounted prices. I someone who style isn't exclusively trend driven, I prefer to take trends making them work for me within the arena of my personal style, as opposed to the other way round which could often lead to disastrous consequences. Therefore wearing last seasons dress isn't an issue for me, I not into disposable clothing. Having said that TJ Maxx works extremely hard to create current trends towards the consumer regardless what season they evolved from, including current seasons overstock. first stop, upon entering the shop, was the shoes, I a shoe fiend, I blame my early retail education (working for Russell Bromley in the united kingdom) with this, it gave me knowledge and experience of what to expect inside a fine shoe. The type of experience and knowledge that makes buying cheap shoes a struggle and my wallet sad. TJ Maxx offers a perfect solution with this; designer shoes on sale prices.
These footwear, snapped covertly with my i-Phone were my two favourites, both from Pour La Victoire. The wedges were marked down from their original retail price of $149 to $69 and also the ballet flats (that have been inside a scrumptiously soft leather) were $200 at their original retail price marked down towards the TJ Maxx price of $99.99. Whilst these prices were substantially discounted, and considerable bargains, they still felt just a little expensive for a discount store. However we are still looking at a 50% or more markdown for quality shoes from the prominent designer. I found similarly amazing (but not during my personal budget) bargains in these LAMB shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], originally retailing at $179 discounted to $89 and this beautiful See By Chloe dress originally retailing at $399 and discounted to $175. I additionally spotted a beautiful Gucci purse originally retailing at $800, reduced to $399, again not the cost one expects from an item at TJ Maxx but definitely a considerable discount.
The store had some beautiful Nanette Lepore dresses, but budget aside, the only real available sizes were 2 and 12 neither of which were useful for me.
After browsing the designer wares I started shopping more pro-actively, quite simply, sticking to my budget. As I perused the over flowing racks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], organised, thankfully, by size, it wasn hard for me to find item after item in my budget. It wasn well before my arms were filled with my bounty. It had been at this time, after carrying around 15-20 items filled with hangers, that some irritation kicked in. Not once did a worker ask me basically needed any help or offer to accept load to the fitting room, the store does offer shopping carts, but negotiating the tightly packed racks with you might happen to be worse than carrying everything.
It this kind of thing that stores like TJ Maxx have to enhance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially stores like the Glendale branch that expect their consumers to purchase $400 purses. Customer support is very valuable in encouraging someone to invest more, and it so easy, I worked in retail enough years to know this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is probably also why I've found a lack of it so very irritating.
Moving swiftly on to the more positive, once I collected a lot more than could carry I headed to the fitting room to test my finds. Everything I gathered was round the $10 to $20 mark at a minimum of 50% off, cute dresses and mini skirts, which can be my to garments of preference, were bountiful. I possibly could have easily spent more than $50 if my figure had been more forgiving. A nautical inspired dress having a ruffled bottom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], priced at $14.99, was tough to say no to,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but at 5ft 10 and 26 years old,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it best I don let my butt spend time in public places. Another find, which was unfortunately too small, would be a gorgeous romper, with oxford shirt and linen shorts priced at only $10 on clearance! Yes, each section includes a clearance rack,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meaning sometimes even the sale is on sale!
Things i finally settled on, after many negotiations with myself was: A cute black cotton mini skirt, for $12.99 (RRP $20), a striped tank top, for $5.99 (RRP $12), a strapless ruffly dress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for $14.99 (RRP $24) along with a loose, striped vest for $12.99 (RRP $20). My savings per item were not enormous at all, but my total bill (including tax) was $51.54 as opposed to $86 (including approximated tax) that we sure you are able to agree constitutes a massive difference. I was exceedingly pleased with my purchases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and will continue to, when i have in the past, shop with TJ Maxx.
You need to see things i got though right?! Well these are expertly styled by me (!) and photographed by my husband (who was very happy to know I thought he was better at taking my photo than my tripod)
