Fringe Benefits

{Zara jacket (similar), Wilster sweater, 7 for all Mankind black skinnies, Brian Atwood booties (similar), Rebecca Minkoff bag, Jimmy Choo sunglasses (similar), Michael Kors watch & bangle, Stella & Dot ‘Renegade’ bracelet c/o}

So, Nordstrom Rack is now officially my best friend. First, I scored these gorgeous Brian Atwood fringe booties at a FRACTION of what they retailed for last year when I first saw them on Rachel Bilson. They made their debut during my NYFW trip and are fast becoming my favorite pair… they are insanely comfortable, and did I mention they have fringe? I am only slightly obsessed. Next up… these Jimmy Choo cat-eye sunnies that I found on clearance for (drum roll, please) $44.95! Yup… under $50 when the retail for $300!

I’m a treasure, er, bargain-hunter at heart but I know MANY people who are literally scared to walk in to places like the Rack, TJ Maxx/Marshall’s, Century 21, etc. because they hate to “dig” to find deals. It’s totally worth it if you want to save some money! I’ve found items at Nordstrom Rack for 1/2 price that are also sitting at Nordstrom down the same street for full. Try to find out what day of the week inventory comes into your local store and haul-ass on that day… you’ll usually be in for a treat! Happy Friday!

    WOW, those are insane deals! I am such a bargain shopper too so those deals are right up my alley! Stores like that can be a bit overwhelming, but you’re right.. it’s sooo worth it! Love the look you put together. Happy weekend!

    You got yourself a great bargain. People should keep in mind that the more they save, the more clothes you can buy! So I would have no problem digging through racks to find some amazing items at great prices.

    Fabulous outfit dear! I’m obsessed. Those fringe booties are perfection (I remember seeing them on Rachel Bilson as well), and your military-inspired jacket is a great fall piece. Also…as a somewhat poor college student, I’m all about the deals and I hit up Nordstrom Rack whenever I’m in a city with one!

    Oh my gosh lady, you look amazing! LOVE the military jacket and those fringe booties are killer! While I can’t bring myself to bargain hunt in the form of thrift stores and that type of thing, I am all over stores that sell new designer stuff for less! In Canada ours is called Winners, and it’s always worth the hunt! You look gorgeous!

    I just fell down dead over those boots. I hope you can live with yourself. And also? I do NOT get those people who don’t like to shop at TJ Maxx or Marshalls (or worse, think it’s gross). Seriously, peeps? You WANT to pay a lot more for your stuff? Not this guy. Anyhoozle – that whole ensemble is pretty much autumnal perfection. Love it!

    merci,

    Dang, I was just about to ask where those sunglasses are from because they are fabulous. I wish we had a N. Rack around here but the closest one is 3 hours away 🙁

    nordstrom rack in the source mall in LI is my favorite place in the WORLD, and i was BEYOND elated that the old virgin megastore is now the rack.honestly, they did have some cool brands there but a lot of it was picked over. i did find a few things to try on tho, but didn’t fit me. oh well. i DID get really cool nine west dress up/down sandals, so even tho i couldn’t find any clothes at NR (usually i have a cartload full) i didn’t leave empty handed.NR seriously is the best discount name brand shopping ever. with stuff from via C, savvy from this season, it cannnn’t be bad. 90% of my wardrobe is from the rack, and it is my favorite place to shop hands down.

    wow that is awesome you found those booties at nordstrom rack!! I always have good luck at off fifth saks fifth avenue – they always have amazing deals plus extra coupons with their card. I think half the thrill of shopping is finding a good deal! I think I would get anxiety if I paid full price for a $1000 pair of shoes hahaha! the opposite of a shopping high 😉
