Nadine recently did a post on some dupes for the infamous Nordstrom sale. Since I started looking around for some dupes myself, I thought I would share some of the items I went searching around for and what I found. Some of these are dupes or finds at different retailers.
As I have mentioned before, this sale pisses me off. All of the influencers buy up every size and color of the items you want and then they end up returning most of it only to screw others from getting the discount. I managed to get a few items, but most of what I really wanted was gone. So here are some dupes and other retailers that I found.
I tried my best to find items that are the same price or below, but a few of them are more (and better quality in some cases).
I wanted the Nordstrom necklace, but the letters I wanted were sold out. But Etsy has very similar ones.
I wanted the shirt jacket in the middle, but it sold out in the first day and has never been restocked. So I tried to get the Thread & Supply one, but that one sold out too. I did find another one by BB Dakota, but it is $96, so I am not sure if I want to get that one. Are shirt jackets even worth it?
I love Honeydew pjs. I have a nightgown from them and I wear it all the time. I wanted the above version, but it sold out before it became available to just the cardholders (like me). But Nordstrom Rack has the almost exact version for cheaper. Order up from your normal size.
I wanted the BB Dakota cardigan coat so bad. I wanted it in the brown (latte) color, but it sold out quickly. It came back and I ordered it only to get an email saying it was no longer available. I have also been eyeing this sweater coat at J Crew and it is on sale as well.
I really love this dress. I always want to invest in pieces that are higher quality, like Vince Camuto products, and I wanted this dress for work and going out. But it sold out, came back, but not in my size. I did find a similar dress at Nordstrom Rack by Madewell, but it is shorter.
I wanted the Nordstrom Vince Camuto woven sandals, but they kept selling out in my color. But now that the reviews are rolling in, I am glad I didn't get them. The Vince Camuto's on the right get amazing reviews. And if you are like me and need a wider heel, then the Steve Madden's are right up your alley.
Are there any items that you really wanted and didn't get? Have you searched for dupes or the same product just at a different place?
I don't even bother looking through Nordstrom's site for the sale anymore because like you said nothing is left by the time I can shop anyway; I love these dupe posts though!
ReplyDeleteI love the dupes post too. That way I can get a deal and not deal with the hassle.
DeleteMy letters were sold out too. This is such a good idea, love your picks.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope you can get some letters via Etsy.
DeleteI love some dupes! I never look at the sale anymore really, but dupes are fun!
ReplyDeleteI love dupes too. I shop those more often than the sale.
DeleteThose PJ"s!!!
ReplyDeleteRight? I love that brand and if I can find a deal, I am taking that.
DeleteWhat a great idea! I love that initial necklace!!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I wanted ones with my girls initials on it, but now I can do an Etsy one instead.
DeleteI always love NSale dupes posts. I usually do one but I just didn't have the time and energy this year! You found some great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand that. I just used the things I was interested in. I could have done more, but these are what I wanted.
DeleteOh that J Crew coat!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it pretty?!
DeleteI am HERE for this post! I've been over this sale for years, and this was the first year I really came out publicly about it. Love finding some great dupes, and hoping Nordstrom will re-think their promotion strategy for the sale. Because I think everyone is beyond over the big influencers pushing it super hard, no one believes it anymore and we never see them actually wearing any of the pieces after the big sales push is done. I may need that J. Crew coat and love the idea of supporting an Etsy seller for that necklace <3

I am glad that you came out publicly about it. I feel the same way. That is why I wanted to do a post like this. I really want the J Crew coat. It has great reviews and will probably last longer than the Vince one. And I am all about supporting smaller businesses too!
DeleteI like that J Crew coat better than the one that was in the sale. I was able to grab a lot of stuff on my wish list, but also, 3 items have been cancelled since ordering. I am wondering how many more get cancelled. ugh.
ReplyDeleteI like it better too. And it will probably last longer. I hate when something is cancelled. I am sure influencers got it before you did. Sucks. Ugh.
DeleteThese are lovely dupes! Love the J crew sweater coat!
