I have been known to tell my children that Nordstrom is a holy place. I love it so very much. It has amazing clothing and beauty and the best customer service. I feel good inside of Nordstrom. Enter Nordstrom Rack. I shopped at Nordstrom Rack once when I was out west for a holiday and I loved it so much. It’s like Nordstrom only half off. Ohio has a store about 2 hours from me. I think it is safer that it is not actually located in Columbus.
For $200.00 I was able to score three outfits and a killer pair of shoes. I also got some tights and some new black leggings. Amazing. No?
My first outfit is a casual work outfit for me. I work from home, but I do have meetings and sometimes speak at events and conferences. I like the blouse and trouser jean look with smart shoes for a pulled together but totally comfortable look. These jeans were only $39.00. Take that Joe’s jeans or whatever is the high-priced skinny-girl denim of the month. The plus size rack had about 4 styles of jeans, and I was praying for a long and lean look like a trouser jean. I am so pleased with these.
My second outfit is a Calvin Klein tunic that seems to be just the look that I am trying to work with over the change of seasons -- a cinched waist to give me some curves. I like that it is lightweight and great with jeans or black trousers. I would wear this with a black skirt and funky shoes and head to dinner or a school function.
I had to snag a new fall dress. I love Max Studio. This is a rouched look that I will pair with tights {hello = $6.00 ones at Nordstrom Rack} and the killer chunky clogs I found. I love the Nordstrom Rack for shoe shopping too, as I have BIG feet and the store offers a massive selection of sizes 10 and up. It was pretty amazing for a big foot gal. There were rows and rows of size 12 and 13! I wear a 10.5 or 11 and I could have bought 100 pairs that I coveted. The Born Clogs that I picked are vintage-inspired and really comfortable. They were 70% off, and I got them for $30.00. They look great with dresses and pants.
The store was a bit overwhelming in the Women’s section. Some racks were hard to rummage through as they were a bit full and messy, but I think it was just because it was busy and people were digging for bargains. I am not bothered by the hunt of shopping. I like to dig.
The plus size section needs to expand the jean and trouser selection. I felt there were too many blouses and not nearly enough pants, skirts, and dresses. I will say that most of the lines in the Women’s section went up to 14/16 or XL, so for me, I was able to find lots of choices. I feel if you wore higher than a size 18 it would be hard to find a lot of selection. But the news is that Nordstrom Rack’s plus-size selection gets even better starting September 15th! You can shop a better assortment of the season’s hottest styles in plus sizes.
In addition to a better selection at Rack stores that already offer plus,15 more Rack stores will carry plus-size apparel. Visit Nordstrom Rackto find a store near you.
I am losing weight, and I have been trying to hold off buying clothing, but the season change is going to make that difficult and I want to look better right now. I think this is a great shop to buy pieces all along the way to a fabulous wardrobe. I tried to invest in items that would work as I lost weight. I can belt and layer and work this all season long.
Someone told me to keep looking good on the way down and you will feel better about yourself during the journey. I agree. I feel like thanks to Nordstrom Rack I am able to rock out a little earthy boho mama look this fall. I feel good about it. Thanks Nordstrom Rack!

Thanks for this post--I never new Nordstrom Rack HAD a plus section. AND there's one 15 minutes from my house that I've never gone in because I assumed it was for stylish skinny girls. You've unleashed a monster!
I would kill for the perfect pair of jeans. The ones that de-emphasize the butt and gut (and thighs while we're at it) and make my stumpy legs look a million miles long.
I need this, Amy. Couldn't be at a better time.

Born clogs for $30? You are a genius. And a hottie!!! The blue dress is everything right in the world.
I like the Adrianna Papell Lace Overlay Dress & Jacket.

Oh geez, what wouldn't I buy at the glorious Rack? I'd love to find some gorgeous fall boots, preferably in grey.
I need a new jacket for this fall

you look gorgeous! and i so want some clogs. yum.
honestly, i want to give this to my mom. she just took all of her paid time off to help me with the birth of my second baby and then i found out she had to have oral surgery and went to work in pain the very next work day because she had no more paid time off. she always gives and gives and i would love to give back to her with this.
(although i might go with her. you know, just to make sure i'm not missing anything!)
LOVE Nordys...rack or otherwise.
Hey Hot Momma,
I need new kicks. And some new shirts. I am trying to upgrade slightly from my usual holey t-shirts, so prettier shirts would be awesome.
Those are great jeans! I'm definitely looking forward to expanding my selection of pants - FL is still muggy, and I appreciate capri pants' flexibility, but I'm ready for Real Pants again!
I would love to get a trench coat for fall as the temperature drops. I think it's a flattering style for anyone.

My body seems to be changing... Again! so I really need some updated jeans. Nicer jeans that I can pair with heels or boots for cooler days.
For some reason I always for get about the Rack. Not now! Thanks for the reminder!
I really need some sweaters that are not too sloppy and frumpy to help show off the hair that I am finally on my way to liking now that it is past the awkward grow out phase! You are looking great!!
I am needing a new dress. With sleeves and not too low-cut. I hate these dresses that make mah boobs hang out. No one wants to see a 50-year-old woman's boobs.
I'd get some nice boots and a new pair of jeans

I am so looking for a cute sweater dress that I can wear with tights and boots.
I would love to find just a simple dress... Nothing too fancy, but still with good lines and that looks nice enough to run errands around town in. A little bit fitted maybe, the classic look... I don't own any dresses so this would be nice to have to just throw on when I want to look nice but not have to go to a lot of trouble!!! :)
Looking good Mama!! I love the shirt from the first outfit!
I'm on the hunt for some new jeans as I'm also on the post-baby, weight loss train. lol
I would love to find a pair of riding boots. I have a large size foot as well and you have given me hope. Now to visit the one that is about an hour from my house.
I want that blue dress !!!
I also want to know how you style your hair ... it looks fantabulous!
I would LOVE to find the cardigan or the borns for $30. We wear the same size shoes, so we could both find LOTS Of shoes there. I guess one just opened in our capitol city, so this would be FAB!
I adore the Rack! I have to get myself over there soon for some new blouses. And next time you head there, sister, you have to give me a call -- it's not too far from me. :-)
boots!!

I sort of forgot to comment before when I tweeted, but I am such a shoe whore for the Rack. We have two by us, and now I'm going to check them out for clothes. Especially since I gained more than I wanted to while pregnant and nursing means it may stay with me longer than I wanted to.

I need everything but I will start with some sort of long sleeve top that doesn't hug the belly quite so tightly.
Oh, how I miss the shoe department at Nordstrom Rack! I would LOVE to get a new pair of boots this year.
I am in desperate need of a new pair of jeans! I've managed to ruin most of my clothes at work and jeans are the first to go. A nice pair of boots would also be great!
I'd like a wraparound sweater and knee high boots.
