I Love Nordstrom Rack

This blog has been in the slumps just like the economy. You know that my spending is in serious decline when I passed on buying anything from the Nordstrom half yearly women and children's sale. I didn't even look at the shoe section at all! Sure, I browsed the sale selection online and was tempted by a few pretties but I resisted. This is really bad as I will soon have absolutely no material for my blog. But after all the gloominess of coming out of Nordstrom empty handed, I found some light at my old faithful: Nordstrom Rack. Shopping at Nordstrom Rack is like going on a treasure hunt. If you have something very specific in mind, you're unlikely to find it. But say you want a pair of great flats but you don't care which exact brand or colour, you'll probably find a pair of gems at 60% off at the Rack. If you don't, chances are you'll find a pair of shiny black patent leather pumps that you have no good reason not to buy, such was the case with the pair of patent leather Cole Haan pumps I came across. There's usually always something that you'll find at such a good discount that you'll feel guilt free about buying. Sure you might get a pair of jeans for $100 but they used to be $200!! Think of the 50% discount! That is why I rarely walk out of the Rack without spending less than $100. The only caveat is that their return policy is stricly 30 days. So if you're going to have buyer's remorse, have it within that deadline. Other than that, there's nothing but goodness. The money you spend at the Rack also goes towards your rewards points if you happened to have a Nordstrom credit card. Those rewards are good at the regular Nordstrom store and the Rack. Again, I have to say Nordstrom knows how to build customer loyalty. So even when the economy is weak and my budget is tight, my heart and wallet still belong to Nordstrom Rack.
