T.J. Maxx & Marshalls Fall Fashions & Must-Haves: Designer Merchandise for Less ~ Review & $25 GC Giveaway

Over the past few weeks, the weather has cooled down tremendously and leaves are beginning to change. Fall is just around the corner, which has me thinking about my wardrobe and what I'm going to need this season. The problem is, I don't have a lot of time to visit numerous stores and I'm not looking to spend a lot of money. I'm always on the lookout for stores that allow me to do most of my shopping all in one place and prices that can't be beat. That's why I was thrilled when I learned I was going to have the opportunity to do a review for T.J. Maxx or Marshalls and check out their must-haves for Fall!

I have to be honest, I had only ever been in a T.J. Maxx once before and didn't remember much about it. The closest T.J. Maxx store to us is about an hour away, which is why we don't get their very often. However, after my most recent shopping experience there, I have a feeling we'll be making the trip more frequently. Who could pass up designer clothes at amazing prices?!

As we walked into T.J. Maxx, we headed straight for the women's section. I was curious to see what their Women's Fall Fashions consisted of and how great these prices were really going to be. I was shocked to find the name brands I love at prices that were up to 60% off department and specialty store prices! The following are just a couple of examples that hit me right away...

Sweaters that were originally $120 for just $60!

Leather Jackets originally priced at $260 and on sale for $129.

Wow is all I have to say! Can you believe those discounts?!

We then visited the shoes...I can't go shopping without visiting one of my favorite isles! Once again, I couldn't believe the prices. They were outstanding. Shoes that were originally marked at $30 and $40 were priced at 14.99!

The Men's clothing was just as impressive. Take a look at these stylish sweaters. They are perfect for Fall, and starting at just $19.99, you can't go wrong.

And these coats! The Columbia jackets were originally marked at $210 and selling for $99!

We also checked out the kid's section. Since becoming a mom, my kids have become priority when it comes to shopping. There were racks and racks of clothing and jackets perfect for the cooler weather that is now upon us. I couldn't believe that these adorable little boy outfits were just $14.99 for the whole set!
Oh, and did I mention the amazing purses!?! They had so many to choose from...many of which started at just $19.99. This display of some of their new arrivals were all $80+ purses that were on sale for around $40!

We spent a very long time checking out all this T.J. Maxx had to offer. My hubby was so patient with me! I couldn't believe that I was able to shop for the whole family right in one store. Not only that, but one that offers high quality clothing at amazingly low prices! We found so many great deals, and were almost overwhelmed with all the choices. As T.J. Maxx style expert, Sonya Cosentini said, "With more than 10,000 new pieces of merchandise arriving weekly, our stores are continuously stocked with the must-have trends for Fall".

Aside from the obvious Fall clothing, there were isles full of Fall decor to help us all get ready for the new season. Look at all this!

I was very impressed with T.J. Maxx. I couldn't believe all the great deals. We walked out of their with $129 in clothing for right around $48!

Kaelyn got a new Hello Kitty Fall jacket. It's perfect for the cooler weather and fits her great. As you can see from the tag, the original price was $20 and the T.J. Maxx price is just $9.99!

Kaden is growing like a weed and was in desperate need of some new jammies. As many parents know, pajamas aren't cheap. That's why I was thrilled to find these super soft and warm pjs for just $7.99. Once again, as you can see on the tag, the original price was $20.

I rarely shop for myself, so I decided to buy a cute Guess Jeans sweater. I love sweaters like this and was thrilled to find it for just $29.99. This is something I know I will get so much use out of this Fall and even into the Winter months. With an original price of $89, I felt this was quite the deal.

All of this for under $50! I am definitely a new fan of T.J. Maxx and am certain we will be shopping there more. It's quite the drive, but the deals and variety are well worth it.
