Who I am. Why I'm here.


I'm Elle. I like fashion. More than that, I love a good deal. Like any serious shopper, I enjoy putting in the legwork, scouring the racks for savings. I'm by no means an expert, nor do I claim to be overly fashionable (I'm the first to admit I sacrifice style for comfort on a regular basis). I'm just here to share what I've learned in the shopping trenches in hopes it might save my virtual friends a buck or two.

Here's my most recent score. This is admittedly a bigger discount than I'm used to snagging, but it's also why I'm obsessed with Nordstrom Rack and encourage going several times a month because their merchandise is updated so frequently.
The proportions were surprisingly good for me, and I'm on the small side, just under 5'4. I imagine this hi-lo style would work on someone much taller as well. 

Yes, that says $15.90! I purchased this dress at my local Nordstrom Rack last week. I'd seen it all season long discounted to $59.97 and thought it was a really pretty casual look for spring and summer but I couldn't justify spending the money on it because this isn't something I would wear to work (although totally appropriate for a casual office if paired with a blazer or sweater). I was pretty stoked to see this dress on the clearance rack with such a significant discount. I will probably end up taking in the straps as they are a little long, and at this price I can afford to spring for a tailor. I left a very happy shopper!
