Off the Rack: March Shoes at T.J. Maxx




Earlier I showed you some of the best handbags at my local T.J.Maxx, now here's a look at some of the highlights from the shoe department. Designer brands spotted on this trip included Coach, Jessica Simpson, Talbots (that's a first for me), MICHAEL Michael Kors, Nine West and BCBGeneration. Many of the latest trends were readily available in all sizes, from nude pumps and peep-toes to embellished flats and wedge sandals. For all you Jack Rogers fans, I spotted a few knockoffs by a brand called A. Gianne, made of genuine Italian leather for $39.99. Click through for more footcandy, anything catch your eye? What shoe styles are you desperately seeking this spring?

Shown above: Espadrille wedge sandals by Rampage, inspired by Stuart Weitzman, for $34.99

Maybe it's the commitment-phobe in me, but I have yet to sign up for any of these subscriber shopping sites. I'd rather just shop at a variety stores and pick things that appeal to me and my ever-changing moods.
