TJ Maxx

Yes, TJ Maxx can be considered the very top of the bargain food chain, and the company's Michigan Avenue location is anything but ordinary. This immaculately organized Mag Mile outpost has an extensive "Runway" section, boasting only the cream of the crop of designer duds—on any given day you might find Diane von Furstenberg luggage, Thakoon silk tops or Celine handbags, at prices that are often 50% off.
