[quote=Anonymous]A few weeks ago I dropped my dog off at the groomers in a weird part of Fairfax, and, given traffic, if I drove home I was basically going to have to turn right around and come back to get her. So I decided to kill time.

There was a Burlington (branded "Burlington" now, but used to be "Burlington Coat Factory") right around the corner. I decided to play a game with it to kill time -- because I had a couple of hours I would go through the whole store, looking carefully at everything, to see if there could possibly be anything I might want. I did it -- looked at basically everything. Even grabbed a cart just in case. Do you know what I bought? A notebook -- so that I could kill more time in the cafe around the corner journaling. The entire -- very, very large -- store was full of nothing but trash.

Burlington is, of course, a few notches below Nordstrom Rack--the store named by OP. I'd rank NR over TJ Maxx and Marshals, and TJ Maxx and Marshals over Burlington. But still -- I found nothing to buy.

The last time I was at Nordstrom rack I got some pink joggers that I loved. But then I washed them once and they were like tissue paper. You could see straight through them -- totally unwearable, at least in public. It was the NR at Tysons. I'd been to the one on L St a few months before that and found nothing. The last time I was at TJ Maxx was around the same time, the one on Leesburg Pike, and there was nothing good at all. Nothing I would want, anyway.

FWIW, I enjoy fashion and clothes, but I'm no real stylist or anything. So I'm not being snobby when I say these places were full of trash. They were full of trash. [/quote]
