You know I'm not much of a follower, preferring to blaze my own trail when it comes to shopping. It doesn't matter if it's groceries (I still haven't been to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods) or clothing - you'll not see me waiting in line to get into the newest retail spot. As a matter … Continue reading Filling my garment rack at Nordstrom Rack
