I was up at the lake this weekend, and while still on my quest to "perfect" the townhome for sale I found myself browsing through HomeGoods. I noticed that THIS HomeGoods (in Cumming, GA) was extremely well organized, and the quality of the goods (and sheer numbers of them!) very different from the HomeGoods in Atlanta.
I, of course, also browsed the shoes, bags, dresses and other clothing. Coach shoes went untouched, Tahari suits were in abundance, Max Studio, Marc Jacobs, Free People, Theory--they were all there, in a variety of sizes, styles and colors to choose from.
For those of you who have hit the TJX stores (and you know you have no matter what you want your friends to think, you fashionista) you know it's a crap shoot and the good stuff typically comes in size 0 or 14.
Then it occured to me--these rednecks know nothing about fashion. WalMart brings the sexy for rural America. As Scott would say--"it's the socio-economic differences". My blog's not that smart.
As we city people continue to invade--yes, our lake house "used" to be in the woods--the plethora of name brands might not last. But for now, I will enjoy my little secret and keep on encouraging the locals that WalMart rules (oh those Gloria Vanderbilt jeans look FABULOUS on you neighbor lady--yes, absolutely).
P.S. I bought a pillow.

Lucky. I gave up on places like TJX and Marshalls cause all the good things are typically gone way before I get there.
