tj maxx (duh.) (with better pics)

this morning i realized that the goods looked a lot better from the pics i took on my cell phone when i sent them to my sis for approval.

the vest looks way better with a white shirt underneath...especially with the brown boots. 

but i think a black 3-quarter length shirt with black skinny jeans and some heels would look fab too.

what i tried on:

what i got: 

i must confess. i am quite jealous of these "maxxinistas" who live in cities where their local TJ's carry swanky diggs and real designer duds marked way off. i love auburn and everything about it, and i give kudos to the top dogs at the Maxx firm who decided to give our store a face lift, but i sure hope they're planning on adding The Runway soon....and getting more shoes in a size 10. does anyone else out there have this problem? sometimes i feel like women who wear size 10 and up get the short end of the stick in the shoe department (everywhere, not just TJ). sorry i'm not sorry i was born with long toes and skinny long feet, but whoever decided that any woman with a size 10 foot loves 80's style grandma shoes needs to be punched in the face corrected about their incorrect way of thinking. well complaining aside...i hit up TJ Maxx tonight. while i really wanted to leave with the 4 awesome sweaters i found, i could only bring myself to purchase one (fur vest)...because i found a great black purse and i had to get that too. duh. if a money tree sprouts in my yard overnight i'll be returning in the morning to gather the rest. until then i will hope that no one finds where i stashed the unpurchased sweaters in the middle of the boys section. hehe.
