What, you think Theory was the only gem uncovered at Marshalls? Puh-lease!
BCBG Sweater, originally $70. At Marshalls? $34.99. Niiiiiice.
This red, Calvin Klein dress – originally $120, found on Marshalls’ Clearance rack for $43 – is what my mom would call a Schmata (I think it’s Yiddish for sack). Yes, the dress itself is shapeless, but the sleeves are all kinds of awesome; add a belt (in this case, the BCBG sweater belt due to a lack of dressing room options) and Ta-da!
Think you can’t find BCBG and/or Calvin Klein at Marshalls?
Oh Don’t EVEN!
I went to a Marshall’s in Connecticut and found TONS of BCBG metallic threaded belted cardigans there. I also found some latex (but I call it lamex on my blog to avoid fetish searches) leggings there for $13. No brand name, but I don’t care when they’re that cheap and awesome.

You are SO right on! Whoever says they never find anything at Marshalls doesn’t know how to shop! The key is patience…patience to wade through rack upon rack upon rack of possibilities. Marshalls TOTALLY feeds my inner label-whore!
November 28th, 2008 - 8:14 PMCheap Jap- I love your blog!!! It’s a mekhaye (a pleasure) to read. Don’t know if you were kidding or not, but in case you’re wondering, shmata actually means ‘rag’ in Yiddish.

November 30th, 2008 - 1:19 AMAfter this post, it reminded me I needed to go check out TJ Maxx for Christmas. I read an article about how they’re getting even more awesome designer stuff right now because the Dept. Stores can’t pay for it.
Lo and behold. A Michael Kors leather bag for Mother for Christmas. Only $59. Originally $288.
And since she’s no label slave, she’ll never know the difference!
December 15th, 2008 - 5:49 PMOff Price Retail Chains recently have been gaining A LOT of name brand lables, high end name brand labels. Its always a good idea to check there.
