So, I haven't been to a TjMaxx since I was a young girl. I pretty much forgot what it was about. On my way back home from Kenilworth, I decided to take a detour ( reason 1 because I was bored and reason 2 I actually did need to pick up a couple of pieces for an upcoming trip) and head into TjMaxx. As I am looking at the past reviews of this place, I must have made it on a day where they fully restocked the store because I scored a whole bunch of pieces. Good quality sweaters were well priced. Sure, the store usually has whats considered "last season" items but I am not one who chases after trends. My ultimate goal is to buy good practical and functional clothing so yes I was elated to find a wonderfully made olive green Michael Kors sweater, a very nice dark blue Lucky brand jeans and so many other key wardrobe pieces. Since then I have been to TjMaxx two or three times and for someone who is not a fan of shopping, I actually enjoy taking the time to find exceptional pieces at this store.
I can see how it can be a hit or miss for some people. The store is decently arranged but the racks of clothing are not spread far out where two to three people can feel comfortable. That can get overwhelming and annoying, especially if the customer drags in a clunky cart with them. Also there really is no rhyme or pattern to how clothes are arranged. The store may have three copies of a sweater but they are not on the same rack...I dont know, though...perhaps a customer did that.
Overall, it's really a great store with great deals. I can not speak to customer service outside the fact that there is a good system with a television that advises which cashier is available (think Union Square, NYC Whole Foods). If youre coming though, you definitely have to have an open mind and not have a specific item youre looking for (i.e. "ooh I need a leopard print pencil skirt with a black peplum top to go with it..yasss #jerseystyle"). You will set yourself up for disappointment. Instead be open to finding great pieces that will enhance your wardrobe and closet. Cheers! read more
