Shopping in NYC

I could use some new summer clothes, and I work in NYC (Midtown West), so I might go shopping after work today. I usually shop at budget-friendly places like Kohl's and Target. Any suggestions on where to go? Are there any budget department stores in the city?

I was thinking of the Century 21 near the World Trade Center - I've read mixed reviews about good deals, how crowded it is and lousy customer service. I've been to the Nordstrom Rack in Union Square but I didn't find anything that interested me. Plus I'm a size 16 so a lot of designer stuff doesn't fit me.

I found a few places on Yelp that got good reviews ... any opinions on these places?

Lot Less Closeouts on Chambers Street
Loehmann's in Chelsea
Muji in Hell's Kitchen (doesn't look like a clothing store but sounds interesting)
Filene's in Union Square
TJ Maxx in Flatiron

TIA!

    There is a TJ Maxx and a Marshalls and a Lohemans by where I work The first two are on 6th btwn 18th and 19th (by the giant BBB) and the Lohemans is on 7th btwn 17th and 16th.

    Also if you are in that area and walk up to 5th Ave there is a JCrew, Loft, Express, White House Black Market, Bananna, and all the other usual stores along those lines(I think they start around 15th and go toward 22nd? Oh and a big Old Navy and a Payless on 6th btwn 18th and 17th.

    There's a TJMaxx that opened on 8th Ave @ 57th St (I think that's the cross street).  Also check out Daffy's.  Though usually that's hit or miss with the selection.

    Muji isn't a clothing store although they have some shirts. It's a Japanese home design store - but it's pretty cool!

    I get a lot of clothes from ESPRIT. They have one in Rock Center and also one on 34th. They closed the one on 15th.

    Esprit clothes run small because they are European, I wouldnt even bother there.
