Affordable Nordstrom Rack Finds for Spring 2023
I’ve found some amazing products while shopping at Nordstrom Rack over the years. They carry so many brands that I love at prices you can’t beat. I’ve learned the hard way that when you see something you love at Nordstrom Rack, you have to jump on it because the best things can sell out fast! They have lots of brick-and-mortar stores, but I always struggle to find what I want in the store, so I prefer to shop them online, where the selection is the largest. Here are some of the affordable spring Nordstrom Rack finds that caught my eye when I was browsing for a new bag last week.
Spring Nordstrom Rack Finds
1. Pleated Kimono
Kimonos are a great layering option to add a little oomph to a plain dress or outfit. They also double as great cover-ups to wear over a swimsuit. Their boho vibe is especially fun on holidays or in warmer weather. Kimonos also offer a great slimming third layer over a column of color. This lightweight and flowy floral kimono comes in XS/S and M/L in two colorways. The other is a stunning shade called Hazelnut.
2. Woven Raffia Clutch
Natural woven textures like raffia and straw are very popular these days, especially on vacation. I love carrying a natural fiber bag in the warm weather because they coordinate nicely with our lighter fabrics. This classic raffia clutch has a removable shoulder strap for under $30. This beige sold out yesterday! But it also comes in a gorgeous pink or lavender, which might actually be more fun in the hot weather. See? You really do have to strike fast because people have caught on to the fabulous prices and great customer service.
3. Soul Naturalizer Wedge Sandal
The older I get, the more I am concerned about finding stylish shoes that keep my feet comfortable and happy. If you’re someone who doesn’t mind wearing wedges or heels, these wedges by Soul Naturalizer would be a good option. They have a soft foam lining, arch support with memory foam, and a lightweight and flexible outsole with traction. They also come in a black option as well as a white. Reviews say to make sure you size down, which I did when I ordered them in this warm silver color :).
4. Pajama Set
You’ve seen me share a similar pair of pajamas before for Nordstrom. During the warmer months, consider switching your winter pajamas out for a shorts set. My daughter actually prefers the shorts over the long legs all year round. They come in eight colors and are under $30.
5. Michael Kors Square Frame Sunglasses
Nordstrom Rack has a great selection of designer sunglasses. I hate to pay full price for a designer brand of sunglasses when I can find a wonderful pair, like these from Michael Kors, at 61% off the regular price tag! I simply take mine to Lens Crafters and have them add my RX lenses.
6. Ruffled Neck Short Sleeve Top
The ruffle neck and sleeve on this T-Tahari blouse are feminine without looking juvenile or too girly. This top is under $20 and comes in several different prints and color ways.
7. Eileen Fisher Espadrille Sandal
Eileen Fisher shoes always make their way onto my list of comfortable shoe recommendations. These leather espadrilles are a great classic summer shoe to pair with your dresses and denim. They come in three colors in sizes 5-12. I would recommend sizing a 1/2 size up based on the reviews.
8. Longchamp Le Pliage Expandable Tote
I love these tote bags from Longchamp. They’re sort of like Lays Potato Chips…it’s hard to just have one…, especially on sale. I have them in several colors and various sizes. It’s the perfect size for a travel or work bag, and it’s water resistant, so you could also take it to the pool or the beach. I love that it has the potential to be expanded into an even larger bag via a zipper! I’m using a beige version of this bag this week, and I paid full price for it!
9. Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt Sneaker
My feet are so happy that casual tennis shoes are still on-trend. I have and love these white leather sneakers which I often wear to play Bocce in the spring. A great classic pair of white tennies like these Grand Crosscourts from Cole Haan is so versatile. You can pair them with a casual dress, chinos, or your favorite denim jeans, or shorts for an effortless casual look.
10. Roll Tab Sleeve Shirtdress
I’ve been on a bit of a personal mission to find the best of the best knee-length dresses lately. I really love the look of this relaxed shirt dress by Max Studio. It comes in three colors and would travel well because it’s polyester which cuts down on wrinkles.
11. Classic Denim Jacket
Iām fond of wearing a denim jacket in all but the very hottest weather. This classic denim jacket will look great over your spring and summer tops and sundresses. It comes in two washes, and is available in sizes 0-18 for under $40.

Thanks for reading, and remember to wear what makes you feel confident.
Hi Jennifer:
I am fairly new to your styling,, however, I love your styles. I agree with your recent post regarding the ruffles etc. When I think of ruffles I think of little girls. Anyway keep doing what you are styling.

Welcome!
Good finds at Nordstrom Rack! It is one of my favorite places to shop. Iām also a fan of Longchamp bags. I have a tendency to carry way too much, and at least the bag doesnāt contribute to the weight.
I look forward to your posts each day. Thank you!
Bocce? Can you explain more?
You mentioned playing in the Spring- is it a seasonal sport?
Are whites shoes necessary?
Bocce is a ball game similar to lawn bowling. Ours are played on astroturf courts, and flat shoes are most comfy.
I just bought some blush and brow brush on Nordstrom Rack that actually is blonde and works on my no see um eyebrows! The nearest store is hours away. I have also purchased a dress and a pair of shoes. The prices are great!
Thank you Jennifer for this feature! I am as close to addicted to Nordstrom Rack as you can get. Not only have I found fantastic shoes, sandals, athletic & casual sneakers, dresses, tops, jewelry for great prices, returns are easy, but even easier if there’s a Rack within a reasonable drive to you. Recently I bought a crazy amount of baby clothes from Nordy Rack for my brand new Grandson, all top-notch name brands and all at a deep discount. My daughter-in-law couldn’t get over the quality and the variety I was able to get for baby Wyatt. Rack Rules!!
Congratulations on your new grandson!! Youāre so blessed. I think grandchildren are the best of the best.
I have found some great deals at Nordstrom Rack and now l regularly look and see what they have. My favorite was a grapefruit color Frank and Eileen shirt ! Perfect! Happy week Jennifer š
Frank and Eileen makes gorgeous pieces. Lucky you!!
Love the raffia clutch you feature (sold out, sadly). Last year, after purchasing probably 20 different mother-of-the-bride clutches for a black tie wedding — ranging from very expensive to Amazon cheap — I found the perfect clutch online at Nordstrom Rack for $30. Could not believe how absolutely beautiful it was.
PS. Should have said “after purchasing and RETURNING probably 20 different clutches,” LOL. My mailman was about to divorce me.
Lol! Youāre a woman after my own heart.
Their prices are amazing!
Great choices, Jennifer! Iām going to take another look at the casual dress which would be good for airplane trips. Nordstrom Rack has great affordable finds, although for me it requires some effort. Thanks for finding these for us.
I highly recommend looking online. Itās easier and the selection is better. Shipping is free!
Not exactly a comment on your post, but just wanted to say, how delighted I am to have found you! I am very much the same shape as you, 5ā2ā, average weight, long torso, straight shoulders etc, (but older) so I am gaining a lot. I especially liked your comment on the dress, ā it was a good price per wearā. That resonates with me, and how I try to shop. Thank you.
Welcome, Joan. Iām glad youāve joined us.
I love Nordstrom Rack! I always buy jeans and shoes and handbags there. I buy online too if I know the brand and know it will fit. T Tahari tops always seem to fit well. Thanks for these great ideas.
I love them too! Great deals.
Thanks for this Jennifer. I have discovered lots of good finds at Nordstrom Rack because of you. And I agree the store is also difficult for me to shop. I find they carry much more variety online.
My local store is a mess, so Iām only shopping them online these days.
