So my week of budget failure continues. I went to TJ Maxx today to purchase my Halloween costume, and managed to spend $67.80. Of COURSE, I picked up 2 unnecessary items including an adorable pair of sunglasses that were $7.99 (Naturalizer – who knew?!) and some lavender linen spray. Still, I shouldn’t have spent that much and to make matters worse – they double charged me for one of the items. Ugh! I didn’t notice until I got home, and there is very little hope that they will believe me when I try to reverse the charge. Grrr.
The good news is that I didn’t buy this.
In my former life, this Tory Burch coat would have been marched to the cash register as soon as I saw it. But now that I am the Discountess, I know better.
NOTE: This is still a pretty good deal for any interested Washingtonians out there, and it’s $449. Now, I realize that you can buy 6 coats for that price at LL Bean, but this is a good price for Tory.
Last one to get to the TJ Maxx at Metro Center, is a rotten egg! Oh and there are other good Tory deals there too – definitely worth checking out!

It’s so nice of you to tell us about your resolve not to buy the Tory coat AND THEN provide the tip that said coat and other Tory awesomeness are awaiting us! If it weren’t for the storm………PS – I’m sure TJ Maxx will believe you about the double charge. Still a pain in the butt to deal with.
Far be it from me to deny someone from inexpensive Tory awesomeness. I bet it’s still there…I’m just saying.
