You can find some great deals at clearance retail stores — if you know where to look. The below options are on Nordstrom Rack’s website right now, but if you want to find them, you’ll have to hurry before they’re gone!
Felicity & Cocoa dress – 85% off
Breeze By Vegan Leather Jacket – 85% off

Another way to find designer fashion at rock-bottom prices is to rummage through a local Goodwill store. You’ll want to go to a store in a more affluent part of town if you want the best shot at finding designer, high-end clothing that’s also still in good shape. I’ve heard of people finding fur coats, beautiful jewelry and great designer clothes for pennies on the dollar. You just have to have a little patience in order to make a trip to Goodwill a successful one.
