Back-to-School Bargain Shopping at #NordstromRack

***This post and giveaway is sponsored by Nordstrom Rack, all opinions are my own.

With both of my kids back in a full day of school I find myself stressing about what I’m wearing just as much as what they’re wearing. I have all of these free hours now that I can actually spend time making myself presentable. Clothes that match my now presentable hair and face are of the utmost importance. The all-new nordstromrack.com is a great place for back-to-school mommy and kiddos shopping because the clothes are quality, designer brands that you love but the prices are clearanced up to 70% off and you still get to earn the Nordstrom Rewards.

My son is really into Batman and almost always refuses to wear anything that isn’t superhero related. Because of this I like to make sure he’s wearing quality superhero clothes and not just the flimsy ones you get at a discount retailer. Nordstrom Rack has a really cute Batman shirt from Kids Republic Inc for only $10.48 (65% off)! This is also perfect because boys get so messy and dirty… I don’t mind him getting a little messy if I’m only spending $10 on a shirt. For bottoms our tried and true style is camo, and luckily it goes with everything and doesn’t show mess. These ones from Volcom have a great pattern to them (yes, I’m so picky about camo patterns) and at 72% off they’re less than $10. Bookbags are also a huge deal because the affordable ones only seem to last a year, and kids always seem to want the latest and greatest. The Equator 2 Backpack from Volcom looks great because it’ll last and it’s mature enough that he can carry it for a few years. At 52% off of retail it’s just as affordable as going to a discount store. New kicks are also very important and Converse is a brand we generally gravitate towards. These Converse by John Varvatos shoes are a fantastic deal at 76% off coming in at only $26.23.

My daughter is much more the style maven and this dress from Design History is all her. It’s girly and comfortable but still makes a statement. Of course I’ll never deny her a dress that’s 48% off and is absolutely adorable. It’s a bit too early for a boot or full shoe, so girls can totally get away with sandals. However, because kids grow out of stuff so quickly you aren’t going to want to spend your shoe budget on a warm weather shoe that she’ll grow out of by the time next year hits. I’m in love with the little heel on these DV by Dolce Vita sandals and they’re 74% off. Also, since she’s a “big girl” now, so statement watches are a style must have. This watch by Titanium is cute, will match a lot and is a cool 45% off. To cap it all off we decided on a purse over a bookbag. She’s in Kindergarten and really isn’t bringing that much home, so we went for this adorable Poochies Betty Bulldog Plush Purse that was only $9.97.

Me? I take after my daughter… and no I didn’t not mix that up. She so inspires me to be fun with my style and enjoy what I’m wearing. For back-to-school night next week I want to look nicer than usual, but still casual. Approachable, yet still giving off that professional parent vibe. I’m definitely into wearing something like this ridiculously comfortable Kensie Short Sleeve Striped Tee (77% off!) and then dressing it up with these DKNY Jeans Skinny Cargo Pants (55% off!). I’m obsessed with Sperry Top-Siders and these ones are 41% off! Finish it up with this dainty and beautiful Nadri Romancing Pearl Station Necklace at 70% off.

All together the three of us are head-to-toe decked out for under $250.00 ($243.73, to be exact) total. Shipping from Nordstrom Rack is free if you spend over $100 and go out within 1-2 business days (shipping to US, Canada and Australia). New arrivals are added every week and if you don’t like what you bought you have free 90-day returns to any Nordstrom store.
