Nordstrom Rack: Our Go-To for the Latest Trends

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Auburn chapter.

On September 30 we were excited to get a visit from People StyleWatch, which invited everyone to its Celebrity Stylist on Campus tour on the Greenspace!  We met with StyleWatch’s TV Stylist & Market Editor Joiee Thorpe, who showed us how to wear the trends for every event this semester.  

We were thrilled to get a personal appointment with Joiee.  After all, college is where we come to learn, and Joiee schooled us on finding designer duds with student funds.  One of her go-to brands is Nordstrom Rack, and with better deals and fashions than anything at the mall, it’s my new go-to as well!

This fall, it’s all about denim vests. As Southern girls, we all see our fair share of denim, but it’s time to transition the fabric from our legs to our torsos. Vests are a great item for the fall heat, adding a chic and outdoorsy touch to your look while also keeping you cool.  Joiee showed us this distressed vest from Paige (similar here), only $80. “Paige denim is a celeb fave!  I especially love this piece because it incorporates the trendy moto style, plus fashion-forward embellishments. “

October also means formal season is in full swing, and Joiee had some amazing picks to help Auburn women look sophisticated and elegant at sorority dances and Christmas cocktails.  This Milly dress, a great designer find for only $87, is the perfect shade for a fall dance and classy enough to pair with a shawl for holiday events (similar here).  It’s such a versatile item, and that’s why Joiee loves it! “I love this dress for any special occasion. The style is classic and sophisticated so it will be an asset to your wardrobe for a while.”

We had such an amazing time at the People StyleWatch Celebrity Stylist on Campus Tour. The advice and tips we snagged from Joiee Thorpe are sure to enhance our wardrobe and style. We can’t wait to see how all the amazing items that Nordstrom Rack offers will turn the Auburn concourse into a runway!
