MJM -- a wannabee DSW?
Divas and divos, allow me to introduce you to DSW's redheaded step-cousin, MJM.
I was turned onto the rogue discount shoe warehouse last week by my editor, honorary deal diva Sherri. It's nestled in a shopping center near our office, at 951 W Brandon Blvd. -- perfect for a quick lunchtime visit.
The first thing I saw was a display of Uggs decorated with Ed Hardy designs. Needless to say, I was terrified.
But things got better from there when I saw a lineup of Steve Madden flats in a multitude of colors, including the black sequined ones I bought at DSW a few weeks back (similar to Letitia's score at Target).
The selection was a little more sparse, and definitely more eclectic than DSW. -- risque, bedazzled platforms sat next to smart leather booties -- but the sale racks at the back were comparable. I found a couple pairs of oxfords like the ones I'd just bought at Aldo, but none were in my size.
There were plenty of cute sandals on sale, and I pondered a few pairs before deciding against impulse buying. It's fall, after all.
I left empty handed, but I'll be back. Check it out for yourself!
