Nordstrom Rack is a great place to go and find what the store Nordstrom offers but at semi…read morediscounted prices. I think it's important to note that when you go in here, you're not gonna find really cheap prices. The prices are still up there. They're just a little bit less than you will find in the actually Nordstrom store and/or Nordstrom online. For me, the main reason I like Nordstrom Rack is their selection of shoes. They have a really big selection of shoes, particularly tennis shoes. They truly have a large amount of all of the name brands. And again, at semi discounted price prices. They're not cheap, but they are below what you would have to pay at the regular Nordstrom stores or most other sporting goods retailers. In terms of clothing, they have a lot of it. They have both a large selection of men and women's clothing. It's truly a vast amount. I don't usually find clothes that catch my eye at this store, but my wife always seems to find something. So, that may let you know of the mindset of the people who shop here. For men, they have a nice selection of suits, sport coats, slacks, and dress shirts. But, they're not exceptionally good deals. Personally, I prefer to go into a shop that is more devoted to those things when I buy such items. For my wife, however, she commonly finds nice dresses, tops, and also, shoes. She too, is a big fan of their shoe department. The one thing I will say is that if you want to get a nice pair of Doc Martens, this is a great place to buy them. They seem to discount Doc Martin's more than they do their other name brand shoes. This is just something to think about. Overall, if you want some high-end clothing, and/or shoes, and/or jewelry, and/or a little bit of anything else that Norstrom offers, this is a good place to purchase it.

I went to the dressing room and the attendant asking me how many items I had, I told them, and they stopped and made me let them count and leave the pack of socks I was carrying on the counter. Someone else took the socks while I was in the room. Next, I wanted some cologne. Took awhile to find someone to open the lock box where they keep it, and they looked at me like I wasn't making sense when I asked for cologne. When I tried to carry it up to go check out, they snatched it out of my hand and carried it straight to the register. Just a bit odd to treat paying customers like they're expecting you to rob them. It will probably make me stick to ordering from the online store in the future.

There's a reason people shop here. Yes, it's more expensive, and you could argue that the quality…read moreis better than other choices in town. But really about the service. I obsessively went here to look at shoes for myself, but as is often in the case, I park in the back through the Men's department, so I go through the Men's department and lots of lovely things. Very lovely presentation not a lot of sale which surprise me for January, considering it's end of season, but there were some things and they were still kind of expensive so I took a pass on that and adjacent to the Men's department. Is the kids department specifically the baby department and my son has a brand new baby. So I toggle in because nothing is better shopping than shopping for your grandbaby who is adorable and just turned a month old so I get in there and you know it's not cheap. You know it's pricey, but there's features there. Better quality materials better better things you know and here's the thing here's why you really shopped there the service it's all about the service. I was helped by a woman. Her name is Linda. She was covering from the women's department also the babies department or kids and she approached me and she greeted me with warmth and care and she offered me help if I needed it I've made conversation with her. She ended up understanding who I was shopping for what I was shopping for and why I was shopping. I cannot tell you the level of difference in service between Von Maur, and Macy's . Linda was the reason I bought she gave me an experience! And at the end of the day, isn't that really part of what we're doing when we shop it's part of the experience and I will go back there to buy more from that department you know maybe I won't be the biggest shopper the store has ever seen, but I will shop there and I will spend my money there for things that I see value in and that's exciting because you don't see that anymore. Additionally, I did also get my package gift wrapped and the ladies and the gift wrap department were super sweet. The one girl's name was Alexandria and she was just lovely. I also briefly met. I believe a manager it was a younger woman and she was lovely and she really the thing I liked about her was I was talking to Linda. She she smiled and she piped up a little bit, but she really let Linda shine. She was not there to overshadow her and and that is so important that's what leadership looks like in a retail space so congratulations to Von Maur as they have the service thing down, I only concern is things are a little pricey there and you know how can that be sustained in our current economy? I wish them luck, but yeah if you want to have a great experience and buy some nicer things go there.

I visited Upshift for their Krazy for Kitties event. I saw on Facebook that you could play with…read morekittens and get half off the swap fee, so that was enough to convince me! The swap fee is usually $20, so $10 was even more of a steal. The owner of Upshift, Lindsay, was there to give me a little intro to how things work. I liked the low-key feel of the swap, as in there's no one looking through your bag, and it's not an item-for-item swap. If you bring in two brown bags, you get to take home up to two brown bags! The store is pretty small, so having a bunch of people (and kittens!) in there made it a bit crunched, but everyone was polite and I felt like I had enough room. As usual with thrifting, you have to be ok with digging a bit for jewels. At first I wasn't sure if I'd find things in my size and style, especially since there were some teenagers there browsing with their moms! I wondered if I was too old to be there! But, after just a few minutes of looking through the racks I was able to find some nice pieces -- some casual, some professional, some nice brands. I think that as more and more people start swapping, the options will be even better. There are 2 dressing rooms that you can pop into to try things on, and the lighting and mirrors were great. I love the idea that you can just take something home to try it out, even if you're not sure if it's quite your style -- it doesn't add any cost, so why not? At the same time, it didn't bug me to put things back on the rack -- I was only paying $10 so who cares if it's just a select few items I take, it was still cheap. I also like that I wasn't pressured into taking as much as I brought to swap. I am trying to minimize a bit, so bringing more than I take home is actually quite nice! There is also an online swap available, which is a really interesting idea. Overall, I would come back here to swap. If I have a bag of clothes I'm giving away, might as well take a look for a couple of new-to-me items.

So…read moreyou need to bring a bag of clothes to give to them- they don't check that the clothes are nice or anything, but it's more of a community/sharing kind of place that I always try to give them good pieces not just junk. Then you can fill up that same bag with anything you might find in the store, and you pay the flat price of $20. I've been here 4 times and always loaded my bag with the most fun things. This is what I love--- When I go thrifting I'll often find fun things that I just don't know if I'll ever have a chance to wear, and I won't get them because it's not worth the money. But here- you can shove it in your bag and not worry about it because you're not paying per piece! All of the crazy things I've gotten are now my favorite things. I've gotten leather boots, 90s miniskirts, a pink denim rhinestone jacket, Levi's, and so so much more. The girls that work there are amazing and friendly. Seriously, I couldn't love a store more.
