Went Shopping Yesterday

PINKdogWOOD · ‎05-13-2010

My friend Jennifer and I do lunch often and then usually go sopping afterwards. Yesterday we went to Marshall's, not too many folks there, I don't usually pay attention to others in stores when I'm there. I know they are there but I again, pay attention but not too much. I know who's near me.

Anyway, if you love cashmere sweaters this is the time of year to check out all that are at Marshall's. The styles are some that you'll never find anywhere else, the colors are stunning. it's alway 2-ply same as we may find here in IM cashmere but certainly not at all IM nor qvc prices. I've been know to buy not one but two of them most every year. I love a great cashmere sweater, yesterday of course there were great ones, I found the one and only periwinkle gorgeous color, this one a simple crew neck, slits on the side for $59.00, Put in in my cart immediately (no one was getting THIS one!)., The most pricey was only $99.00, a v-neck button-down, pockets, soft beige, lovely. There was another stand-alone in a nice olive/pea green, shawl color pullover, just lovely. Loved the color of this one, if it had been less than $99, it would be here instead of there still!!!!

Speaking of sweaters, it seems I have a method to my madness when I shop at Marshall's - as well cashmere, it seems this fall/winter I'm into sweater vests, really cool ones, some just basic in design and color, others yesterday that are soft in fabric and great colors albeit pastels, brighter autumnal, argyle prints. I found lots and bought 4. Got home, took the tags off, took off my Graver liquid knit cardi and put on another version of a soft periwinkle with a nice cable knit front and a soft mock/almost true turtleneck collar. Lovely, love the color, the style, wore it in the house the rest of the afternoon/eve until I put my jams on for the night!!! I love all of my picks, SCORE at Marshall's! Spent $169 for 5 sweaters, and a couple of other items (one was a black truffle oil, dark choc cashews, to name a few) and they always have great large plastic bags with FUN designs on your way out to check out all in another new bag to use at Aldi's when I'm there!!!!

You got some very nice things! Enjoy! I personally love Marshall's! I could spend hours there. I love that they have such a variety of things. I always come out with many nice treats. Your sweaters sound amazing!

The only good thing about winter in my opinion are new sweaters!!!!

@PINKdogWOOD Watch that bag! I put a cute used bag in my Publix cart this week and turned my back on it while I talked to the pharmacist very briefly. Gone!

It's pretty sad to think someone needs to steal something so inconsequential to many of us. I have other bags and could afford to buy more, but I really liked that one.

@AngelPuppy1 I totally agree with you 110% - we also spend hours there looking at everything. I never leave without buying some fun items. They have great fashions, tons of designer labels at way better prices here. I could have picked up a few more sweaters (including that $99 chashmere!!!), they also had some great woven long sleeve plaid blouse, almost had two in my cart but opted not. I've been known to keep items in my head and go back for them anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I so much more enjoy marshall's over kohl's and target - better deals, more items to check out, try on, BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice haul! But the problem with Marshall's is that they aren't all created equally. You can go into one Marshall's and see amazing merchandise and go into another and zilch...nothing but off season discounted stuff.

this is the time when TJ/Marshalls has the made in Italy shoes/ sweaters coats all lovely and priced well, don't pass them up if you like them

TOTAL BUMMER @millieshops on the thieves among us right??????? Why oh why..... I'd also most definitely say to the Ladies, this is a good reason why we DO NOT put our purses in our carts to turn our backs for a brief moment only to find it gone by some thief close by stalking us.

Never thought of my bags that I take into Aldi's when I grocery shop there. Actually, I don't do this anymore, I'll wheel my cart to my car and load them in bags there. I watch my back there too, I don't need a 'bump' on the head while some stranger wheels my goods to their car and drive off.

Be careful out there folks, there are unfortunately bad things that happen even at the grocery store!

You scored great deals.
I don't need any clothes right now, and I don't have the patience to look thru all the racks of clothing at stores like Marshall's or TJ Maxx.

I like these stores for household items. Homegoods is my favorite among the TJX stores.

PINKdogWOOD · ‎05-13-2010

@chrystaltree My store is close by, yes there are others in town but I stick to what's close to me. This store is huge, all sorts of stuff there, and the stuff is always really good!
