We have two N. Racks here - I may go to the second one today.

I did go to the second one today. I never like it as much - it's a little smaller and the selection is never as good.  I did buy three things but only one was on the 25% additional Clear the Racks sale.  All my purchases yesterday were, except the Lipstick Queen lippie.

I do like what I purchased today.  My feet are very, very hard to fit because of a bunion and because almost any heel at all bothers my arthritic knee to walk on (I almost always wear flats).   But today I found a pair of really nice Dansko black boots up to my ankle (to wear more as shoes than boots) with embroidery along the ankle and a small chunky heel. Name is the Dansko Mina Ankle Bootie.   I walked around the store for a while in them before deciding they may be OK for my knee - not ideal but OK.  I'm really happy with them although I wasn't particularly looking to spend $99 on boots (which was a great price for them but still....).  I also bought a really, really nice pair of black Democracy leggings (Democracy brand is excellent quality and often very pricey in regular dept. stores.  There were not only much cheaper than at dept. stores but also an additional 25% off on the Rack sale, so they come to under $25  (retail $70.00).  I'm happy with them - they are very slimming and look melanged with just a little bit of gray and best of all they are warm without any bulk.  My third item was a black dressy bomber jacket with mesh sleeves and multicolored embroidery all up and down the sleeves.  Very pretty indeed - that was under $17   regular priced!  I'm glad I went, esp. if those boots work out so that they don't hurt my feet or knee. I can so rarely find anything with a heel that works for me and I love the look of the boots!  Mine looks like this (which is the Mina but probably from a different year)  but w/out the ring hardware on it, thankfully.  I don't like the ring.  There is a zipper opening on the other side of the boot.

@Biftu  please check out my new boots. We need to keep track of each other's wardrobes!  LOL

I have been in my NR twice, and both times I was underwhelmed. I have never been back. Glad you ladies are finding things you love.

I just picked up a pair of Sam Edelman black leather ballet flats there for under $50. My store had a ton of MAC at 50% off!

@GraceCO  I saw those Edelman shoes there, in both the ones you bought and in burgundy and royal blue velvet (same style).  Congrats.  I think Edelman shoes are very comfortable. Unfortunately, the "curve" of the shoe rested right on my bunion and they didn't work for me, but the ones you bought were a great deal.
