One of my favorite things to do is go to my local shopping center, Blackstone Valley Shoppes, and perusing the stores there.  It is filled with “brand” name stores that have expensive prices. And then cozied in the corner of the shopping center is a big Marshalls that just calls my name. The store has a large shoe section and it have brand name clothes for a fraction of the price. 

The large shoe selection is called a Mega Store. Here is more about the Mega Store from a Marshalls press release:

Marshalls Shoe MegaShop offers hundreds of styles for every activity. From gym shoes to prom heels, Marshalls carries a wide variety of sizes and styles for everyone.   After all, no outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes.  Check out the great selection of designer and brand name shoes at the best prices around…we know you will come back for more!  To find locations of the Marshalls Shoe MegaShops (found inside most Marshalls stores), or for more information, visit www.marshallsonline.com/megashoe.asp

With Back to School coming up so quickly my husband and I have been discussing my daughters wardrobe. We both agree that now that she is getting older that we want to make sure she has some of the newest clothes so she is able to fit into our new towns school. It’s a high end town, and unfortunately we don’t have a high end budget. With Marshalls nearby I know I can get what we need on the budget we have.  I’ve learned that there are three new trends this year: rocker, grunge and preppy. For my daughter we want to go the Preppy side, because is what she is most comfortable in (and so are we!) So we will be perusing the Marshalls store for her Back to School wear, and I know that if we just find the right pieces that can be mixed and matched that our budget will be happy and so will we!

More about the Preppy Style that you can get right at Marshalls:

Spotted, the looks from everyone’s favorite Upper East Siders roaming the halls of high schools everywhere. On the girls – skinny jeans, paired with ruffled tunics or menswear-inspired button downs under blazers. Accessories include beautiful brooches worn on the lapel and ballet flats or detailed pumps. The boys have been spotted wearing madras plaid shorts, striped sweaters over collared shirts, buttons downs with vests and driving moccasins, and even hats as they dress to impress.
