Nordstrom Rack Haul: My Secret to Finding Designer Style on a Budget
The Joy of the #RackScore
You know how much I love finding a true style win. And in my book, a win isn’t just a great-looking item; it’s getting a great-looking item from a premium brand that lasts, all while keeping my budget happy. That’s the magic of a #RackScore, and it’s why I rely on Nordstrom Rack to build my closet with pieces that feel incredible without the full-price sting.
I recently hit the jackpot with designer staples from brands like Splendid, 7 For All Mankind, Good American, and Rebecca Minkoff. Today, I’m showing you two easy, mix-and-match outfits for fall that prove quality and affordability can go hand in hand. Let’s dive into these incredible finds!

The Mix-and-Match Capsule (Cardigan Layers)
This first look is my go-to for looking instantly put-together but feeling incredibly comfortable. It’s all about the sophisticated layering of classic pieces and adding that high-quality texture.
Splendid Cardigan and 7 For All Mankind Shirt
I adore this rich texture! The pointelle stitching makes it feel breezy, which is perfect for layering, and the Rayon/Nylon blend is luxuriously soft. I grabbed a Large for that effortless, comfortable drape over the shirt. Getting Splendid quality for under $45 is a major win!
Every woman needs a crisp, premium white button-up, and 7 For All Mankind delivers. This 100% cotton poplin shirt has a great structure and a slightly more modern cut than my older versions. It layers beautifully under the cardigan without bunching.
Good American Jeans and Cole Haan Boots
Good American is known for fit, and the “Good American Good Legs Flare Jeans” live up to the hype! These jeans are designed with a gap-proof high waist and amazing stretch that keeps you smooth and comfortable all day. Snagging premium denim that fits like a dream for less than $60 is my favorite kind of deal.
A reliable pair of suede ankle boots is non-negotiable for fall. These Cole Haans have a cushioned footbed and a manageable block heel, meaning I can actually wear them all day without issue. Quality footwear at a value price is always a smart investment.
Color Pop Comfort (The Pullover Sweater Look)
For the second look, I kept the same fantastic base pieces, the perfect-fitting Good American jeans and the boots, and swapped the layers for a rich, deep color that just looks like fall.
Splendid Pullover Sweater
This beautiful Deep Plum color Pointelle Stitch Sweater is an instant mood boost! It has the same breathable pointelle knit as the cardigan, but in a classic crewneck pullover style. I sized down to a Medium here for a slightly less oversized look, and it’s still perfectly comfortable. The discounted prices from Nordstrom Rack makes this the ideal item to grab in multiple colors!
The Rebecca Minkoff Crossbody
A crossbody is my favorite bag style for convenience. This Darren Dome Leather Crossbody has beautiful detailing with tassels and studs; it’s the perfect size for errands and adds that touch of designer flair to a casual look.

Shari, there is a “cloud” issue. You can search for AWS, which is Amazon’s Cloud Service. The email provider I use evidently uses them.
