Nordstrom Rack is Here (Finally)!

October 10, 2017 Leave a Comment

We’ve been living here in Memphis for almost two years now, and one of the things I missed about back in Virginia was that I could just pop into Nordstrom anytime. I used to work within walking distance to the store, too, so that was dangerous!

Surprisingly, there were no Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack stores within driving distance of the Memphis area – until last week! We finally got a Nordstrom Rack and I’m pretty sure the entire area was buzzing about it. 🙂

My Experience

I couldn’t wait any longer to check it out, so I went on the very first Saturday it was open (the grand opening was October 5th) – and I expected it to be total chaos, honestly. I was pleasantly surprised that even though the store was jam-packed, it was actually pretty quiet and almost everyone was super nice and not rude. Usually shopping can bring out the worst in people, but not here! The store employees were also extremely nice and helpful.

I actually didn’t walk around the entire store, because it was decently crowded – instead, I made a beeline for the women’s section. I felt like the prices were overall pretty good, but I do think they could improve the selection a bit. I usually shop Nordstrom Rack online and I feel like there’s so much more inventory – though, it may be just because it’s more organized and easier to browse online. I’ve actually gotten quite fond of online shopping because it tends to be easier and more convenient for me as a mama. And I’ll probably continue shopping at Nordstrom Rack online, too, but it’ll be nice to make returns in-store to prevent paying return shipping fees.

There were a decent amount of designer items throughout the store and I actually saw lots of Tory Burch shoes, but tried to keep myself away to avoid temptation! I even walked past the handbag section entirely, because they’re totally my weakness. I did quickly browse the toddler/kids section and found a cute outfit for Blair that was on clearance. To be honest, I will probably only buy kids clothing from Nordstrom Rack that are on clearance, because otherwise, they’re a little too pricey for items that are inevitably going to get stained (my kids can’t be the only messy ones, right!?).

Try-On Session

I was most pleasantly surprised that despite how busy the store was, there was no line in the fitting room – I was able to walk right in and start trying on clothes. I was able to snap a few iPhone photos of some things I tried on and I’ll also share what I ended up buying!

1. This maroon ruffle tee is perfect for Hokie gameday and the warmer fall weather we’ve been having! Purchased.

2. Loved this dark green ruffle sweater – had to snag this one!

3. These distressed jeans were really cute and under $40 – I’m kind of mad at myself for not buying them now!

4. This cold-shoulder sweater was so cute and cozy…and came in a few other colors, too – but it was see-through and I really didn’t want to have to wear a tank top underneath, so I passed it up.

I also got a pair of Zella leggings and the cutest pair of white distressed jeans and a Tucker + Tate blouse (super cute brand for kids!) for Blair. Here’s the only picture I have of her wearing it 😉

Overall, I had a great experience at Nordstrom Rack and will definitely be back again! Now, if only we could get an actual Nordstrom store here, too 😉

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
