I waited for the opening of Bonn's TK Maxx (aka TJ Maxx in the US) store with bated breath…read more *FINALLY*. Styles I liked at prices I could afford!
The euphoria lasted about 10 minutes, which was approximately the time it took me to reconniter the three floors, and which was less time than it will take me to write this review. Contact me directly to enroll in PowerShopping 101.
I was momentarily awestruck by the appearance of D&G, Costume National, Missoni, and Roberto Cavalli... but then I realized, seriously. Would these brands be selling their best - or even third-class - wares in a TK Maxx?!?! I think not.
I flipped through a couple of racks looking for the usual suspects: Calvin Klein, Studio M, DKNY, Noa Noa, Polo, etc. A found a few, but again, these really looked like bottom-of-the-barrel quality.
Why three stars? 1) My husband actually *asks* to go shopping at TK Maxx. Any store that can make him want to shop gets a star in my book. 2) The shoe selection is decent, and the quality seems better than the clothing. 3) Furniture and home goods. I've found some great buys in this section that were really not available in any other store in town.
So, yes, TK Maxx, I'll be back. But with diminished hopes.
