I think I'm done buying coats for this year but never say never .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1973019 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 14:00:02 +0000 cindysmith 1973019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, I'm still not certain I'm not going to order one of those Loro Piana coats. That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and totally worth delaying a tattoo for! If you get one, please post pics and a review! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1973012 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 13:49:35 +0000 Chris987 1973012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ended up only ordering the three items shown below. The quality is really good on all of them. The grey/white sweater&nbsp;is&nbsp;a fairly thin knit,&nbsp; and the texture where the colored triangles&nbsp;overlap is somehow chunkier IRL than it looks in the photo. It's too&nbsp;tight in the body and too wide at the neckline on me.&nbsp;The scarf is really pretty and I love the colors, although I wish it had more brown in it.&nbsp;I couldn't find anything I'd actually wear it with,&nbsp;and I &nbsp;think the square shape and size&nbsp;is a little too conservative or something. The light blue cowlneck is perfect, this is the only one I'm keeping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1973010 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 13:42:39 +0000 Chris987 1973010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>cindysmith</b>, my sincere apologies for being an anti-enabler (is that a word?) for your no-buy phase.

I like how the floral bags have tan and black in them, allowing for so many co-ordinating footwear choices, and as Suz says, beautiful with your pumpkin coat. I love the chelsea boots and of course the Valentino dress is just Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1970397 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 14:04:12 +0000 Chris987 1970397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>taylor </b>and<b> Colette.&nbsp;</b> I really should ask &nbsp;TJmaxx for a tiny little piece of their advertising budget&nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1970147 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 17:25:24 +0000 Colette 1970147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that wrap cardigan looks interesting!

More Georgia O'Keefe and less .Vera Bradley or something.&nbsp;(wow, looking at&nbsp;floral handbags online is one huge&nbsp;rabbit hole isn't it) &nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe TB will come out with some warmer toned floral prints in the spring, but right now it's all about pinks which are not my thing.</p> <p>Hah,<b> Opaline</b>, nice to know there are others who use online shopping as a diversion when we might prefer to be asleep </p> <p>Hah <b>cindysmith</b>, so happy to be blamed!!! I don't personally need a box cutter or vape stick but I never go any wear without a Chapstick, year round, I even have one nearby where I sleep so I get that's it's&nbsp; "important stuff". </p> <p><b>SaraDB</b> isn't it funny how that works? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969657 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 04:17:29 +0000 SarahD8 1969657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh.

To hold my pen, box cutter, chapstick, and vape stick. You know, the important stuff </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969417 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 17:30:19 +0000 Anonymous 1969417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your selections!</p> <p>I just shopped online there at 5am (insomnia) and found a faux fur striped jacket and a merino wool duster cardigan. Great minds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969407 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 16:45:44 +0000 Suz 1969407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh -- that black floral in particular is pretty. I can see you using something like that a lot, Chris! Would look great with your pumpkin coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969404 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 16:28:49 +0000 Joyce B 1969404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Chris. I will keep Target in mind, maybe going to the store will be best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969366 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 14:45:11 +0000 Chris987 1969366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just looked at the shipping/&nbsp;return policy for TJMaxx and they do free shipping for orders over $90 (that amount changes sometimes). It looks&nbsp;like they charge a $10 flat fee for returns via UPS&nbsp;but they are free in-store. It&nbsp;also says you have 40 days, not 30 to do returns for a full refund but I've been told 30 days in stores as recently as a few weeks ago.&nbsp; The info is not organized very well on the web site so study it carefully if you want to be absolutely sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969359 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 14:30:20 +0000 Chris987 1969359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joyce</b>, I don't know if shipping is free on returns because I always return in person to one of the several stores close to me. Returns within 30 days for full refund, after that it's a store credit. </p> <p><b>RachyLou</b> I think most of this Italian stuff I'm talking about here is only available on line. It' a total crap shoot about what might or might not be in your local stores. </p> <p><b>Janet</b>, I too have found some great bags at TJmaxx, but have never bought any jewelry. I've gotten quite a few scarves there too. </p> <p><b>mainelady</b>, the stores are definitely varied. The closest one to me is lately full of nothing but cheap junk. I RARELY find shoes at any of the stores. There are a few stores a bit further away that are better. You just have to love the hunt or you're better off not bothering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969352 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 14:18:39 +0000 Mainelady 1969352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look lovely! I guess I need to do some online searching through TJ Maxx. Lately, the store closest to me has had less and less appeal. Once upon a time the bag and shoe sections were excellent. Not so any more. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969324 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 13:05:14 +0000 Janet 1969324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! I have found some great bags at TJMaxx over the years. Also some jewelry wild cards that look much more expensive than they were. I’ve never bought from them online, but their B&amp;M stores are definitely where I have been known to kill a stray hour and pick up a bargain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969323 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 13:04:02 +0000 rachylou 1969323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yum. I haven’t been to TJMaxx in a long time. Maybe I should go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969322 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 13:00:40 +0000 Joyce B 1969322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You collected very nice items!

Nothing negative :-)&nbsp; I might have been better off reading a book.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969319 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 12:48:49 +0000 kkards 1969319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>some nice goodies....especially the bags and the studded booties!&nbsp;</p> <p>and i'm guessing being up and online shopping on at 6AM on a Saturday was not by choice, so what ever it was, i'm hoping the rest of the day is better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tjmaxx-italian-import-lovelies#post-1969314 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 12:30:21 +0000 Chris987 1969314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TJMaxx always seems to carry items from Italy, especially bags and sweaters, and occasionally they do an online promotion. Today I found a link on their home page to a new collection.</p> <p>I've seen some of their Italian brand sweaters and bags in the stores and own a couple of bags, and the quality is quite good although I rarely recognize the brand names.. When ordering from TJMaxx there will be minimal sizing&nbsp;information, shoes in particular are often in very limited sizes, and you can't tell what the fabric, fit or quality&nbsp;will be like until you get them home. You have to be ok with all of that and be comfortable with your own ability to assess all these things before deciding to keep. I personally enjoy the hunt and find the discounted prices to make it worthwhile</p> <p>There are 12 pages of items -&nbsp;bags and shoes (some very high end), sunglasses, sweaters, dresses&nbsp;tops, and LOTS of jewelry. Not many overcoats, pants, jeans. </p> <p>I had some fun browsing and collecting this morning, and am thinking about ordering a few of them. I especially like the black floral pattern that comes in lots of different bag shapes.&nbsp; I will not be ordering&nbsp;the $5000 Valentino sequined dress only avail in size 40, but it is so&nbsp;gorgeous I had to collect it. It's at the end. &nbsp;</p> <p><i><b>Hope some of you enjoy these</b></i>. I'll leave the topic of what I was doing going through 12 pages of items at 6am on a Saturday morning for another day </p>
