If you have been reading me lately, you know that I totally procrastinated on the whole back to school affair. We are off to a new school this year, and soon we had our parent orientation night (open hour or school night). I had finally gotten around the school supplies. I had yet to work on the clothes, so I set out to get it all done. off course I went directly to see my friends at #NordstromRack where I always get my favorite designer brands at clearance prices – up to 70% off, I love that! The Rack has for us the fabulous finds from Nordstrom, and yes that includes top brands plus the latest trends. To get and idea of what I would be hunting for I browsed a bit first at the all-new nordstromrack.com. I was loving what I saw: perfect! I really wanted to celebrate this new chapter our our family lives with something new and fun. Just to make it more interesting and celebrate new beginnings and great savings, I gave myself a challenge. I was going to get complete outfits for the kids and myself for $250 or under. Was I going to be able to?
I started looking for the kids and I came up with this ensemble for our princess:
Jenna & Jessie Short Sleeve Anchor Top $13.97 ($18.99 – 26% Off)
I went searching for Kanz Knit leggings because those are the only ones our princess will wear. I can totally understand why: they feel like PJ’s! She basically lives in them. Found them and added them to the look Kanz Knit Legging $8.97 ($20.00 – –55% Off).
Then I totally scored when I found the adorable Blue Suede Shoes Jesco Back Netting T-Strap Sandal fuchsia sandals at $9.97 ($20.00 50% Off). These price tags set me at $32.91 for the outfit.
My prince charming is more than back to school ready styling in this outfit, don’t you think:
A Hello Kitty Racerback Tank & Ruffle Skirt Set $14.97 ($38.00 – 61% Off)
to go with comfortable Shoes Of Soul Colorblock Perforated Slip-On Shoe $14.97 ($32 – 53% off). I love the cute look! Total for this selection is $29.94. Basic easy math tells I saved $ $40 for this little girly girl’s outfit. I am happy as can be. So far I have a total of only $82.82 on the kids.
I still need to choose my outfit. With new arrivals added every day I was sure I would find something for myself despite being a bit particular ๐
I decided I would wear a dress. That always makes it easier for me. I started off with the shoes. There was so much to choose from, but after a long time I decided to go for this Charles By Charles David Jana High Heeled Sandal $69.97 ($129.00–46% Off). Then I was left to the task of finding the dress to use with my shoes. I had at least 6 options to choose from, but in the end I decided for a dress that would help me look thinner, and this Tahari model with the black solid sides I think does the trick. The belt across as well helps give more of a shape for me. What I love best of the dress is the 61% savings Nordstrom Rack has for me! Here are the details of the dress: Tahari Sleeveless Jacquard Colorblock Sheath Dress $49.97 ($128.00– 61% Off)
What do you think of this look?
My mom outfit goes for $119.94 instead of the original price tag $257.
I almost went for a purse like this one, but I decided to use it as a base for my next shopping spree :-).
My grand total for kids and mom, comes our to $202.76. I did it! I met my goal. Had I gotten this items at regular not discounted Nordstrom Rack prices my total would have been $ 519.93. Purchases for the kids alone would have been $10 over my challenge budget! In addition to the savings, I get free shipping because my order is over $100. Of course, nothing beats the easy 90- day return policy. Did you know order ship in 1-2 days? They ship in the USA but also to Canada and Australia.

I am so happy with my selections and savings. It was easy putting the looks together. I had fun.
What would you have chosen for your kids’ back to school out fits or your school open house night?
