TJ Maxx

I recently was doing some random consumerism at TJmaxx. I grabbed a pair of silver studded stilettos and 4 night out on the town dresses. (I had originally been wanting to stock up on exercise clothing but was distracted by sparkly things) When I went to try on the shoes and dresses two young dressing room attendants informed me that they could not let me bring shoes into the dressing room. I explained how easily it was to let me bring them in stating «you just have to add on the number of items tag you are going to give me» these young girls looked at me with vacant eyes… And robotically repeated that I could not bring them in.
I left my items in the dressing room and saw the manager on my way out and told them that a policy not allowing people to try shoes on with clothing was a bad idea. He quickly resolved the issue, apologized and said the girls should not have said that then spoke with the girls at the dressing room and I tried on all 4 dresses, saw that I looked fabulous and bought the dresses and the shoes…
Lucky for TJmaxx they had a manager that understands discretion and hopefully encouraged the young dressing room attendant to use problem solving skills and think outside of the box in the future…
This TJmaxx has a surprisingly decent selection of items for being located in VT. It’s not in complete disarray and I am rarely overwhelmed when shopping there. I am not a person who actually enjoys clothing shopping but it’s usually a painless process here…

When ever I need to go shopping I always make TJ maxx my first stop! I love the variety and the uniqueness of some of the clothing items. I like that there are racks upon racks and that you really have to search through to discover goodies!
I do want to point out that this place can be very packed during the weekend. We even get people who drive down from Quebec just to shop here! So if you don’t like body contact– consider visiting during a weekday.

Another fabulous TJ Maxx. I was in desperate need of picking up some comfortable flats earlier today after ravaging my poor heels in an unbroken pair of new boots. Close in proximity to our hotel, we took a spin up the street where I promptly found fab Chinese Laundry flats for a mere nineteen bucks and Juicy socks for six. Shazam.
Unlike the locations I’m used to back in RI/​MA, their handbag selection is well kept and organized while they have ample, well stocked shelves of various perfume and soap products. A Kate Spade candle for twenty bucks?! So there. Unfortunately they’ve skimmed on the cosmetics and jewelry a bit not leaving much in the designer sections to scream for. Oddly enough they had a huge area for. socks. For real. Just about every material, brand, design and style you can shake a cat at. I couldn’t help but grab a few pairs and make a run for the border. Should Canadian customs find me, at least I have my cute little flower patterned Juicy socks to keep my stay in the county jail comfortable and warm.
Definitely one of the nicer locations but don’t expect to find Marc Jacobs or COACH make an appearance. (Some locations do carry these.)
