OK. I am really trying hard to save up for a little treat. No, a big treat for me. It's this handbag I want. Really want. And I am almost there after several setbacks from things like 30% off at J Crew and Gymbucks. And I did also swing by Nordstrom Rack last week. But, while I contained myself fairly well, buying one pair of Joe's Jeans (Muse style, Blanche wash) for something like $79.90...and I did really need these because I am up a few pounds and really, until I drop a good ten, my several pairs of barely worn to unworn fabulous jeans bought on a very good skinny day cannot be worn. And I can't live in ON yoga pants, Juicy velour (especially since I only have one pair) & J Crew khakies everyday. So I needed these.
I couldn't believe the big names I was running across. I mean. Standing at a rounder - flip a hanger: hey Marc Jacobs! flip: Diane Von Furstenburg! flip: Leifsdottir! flip: Ella Moss! flip: Marc & Diane *again*! flip: Burberry! You get the idea. And these were from the regular Nordstrom store - all at about a third of their normal retail price. I tried on a cute Nanette Lepore jacket - $370.00 retail, marked down to $99.97. But it stayed there. There was even a big Tory Burch shoe display, all cute with her pink & orange boxes stacked up and flats and boots artfully displayed. But I resisted. Because I really want this new bag. And I think, really, the Rack will not be getting anything else fabulous for sooooo long. So I will just stay away - they tend to be hit or miss for me and I had never seen so many big brands before. But then this morning I get an email warning me:
"get ready for new arrivals! fabulous styles from your favorite brands from ... t.b.d. ..." (t.b.d. and savvy are my favorite departments) G-r-e-a-t. For those near a Rack, it starts Feb 24th.
Joe's Muse jean - higher rise so you can actually bend over in public; super soft & lightweight
Nanette Lepore jacket - $99.97 (was $370.00) - this is how they roll at The Rack!
If I saw anything in a pink and orange box, I would be done for. I guess it is good that I don't shop at Nordstrom Rack. :)
ReplyDeleteOooooh. I want a pink and orange box. But shoot, no time to hit the Rack before the school bus arrives. Sigh... maybe it's just as well.
ReplyDeleteAt least w/the Rack you have 30 days to change your mind. Note to self -- don't go in!!! I would be captivated by all the goodies.
