Well, Nordstrom Rack is an outlet store and thus isn't all that different from shopping at (c)Ross Dress-for-Less as far as the experience is concerned. Nordstrom's itself is tony but feels like a lot of other department stores to me. Except that they have a really superior shoe department.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Yeah, that Rock Center thing isn't a whole (department) store, and the others are way suburban.

Façonnable is Nordstrom's? I had no idea.
(The other ones on that list aren't anywhere near the city, and don't count.)

Oh,Nordstrom Rack. Anyway, the only clothes I can buy before I get a job are a pair of capris and a few t-shirts.

I hear ya. I feel very odd about the whole thing, but a friend of mine who makes very good money offered to take me on this mini-makeover. I'm very grateful. And I'm trying not to feel too horribly guilty. My usual would have been to say "Thank you so much, but I couldn't possibly".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is it?
Nordstrom's has personal shoppers. That elevates it above most department stores for me right there. They also sell Smashbox and DKNY sports bras. I don't go to department stores looking for many things, but those two are on my constantly-replenish shopping list.

Mostly I don't want to buy "real" clothes, because I don't know what my next "dress code" will end up being like. I imagine needing a couple suits and a couple of blazers, but not if I end up at a casual place.

It's a Façonnable boutique.

Is it likely to be as dressed down as jeans? Even so, if you need tops, it should be pretty easy to buy some simple ones that'll go with jeans as well as with suits, and not cost that much money. Shopping for pants and skirts gets more complicated, but even so, short of a 5 day a week suit environment, skirts that can be dressed up with a blazer or function as business casual might be possible to shop for as well.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Although, damn, are the clothes better quality. Except for the absurdly big-name designer stuff, the prices are maybe a few dollars different than Ross's but it's all so very worth it. Hec almost had a clothesgasm the first time I dragged him there to look for blazers and shoes for work.
I doubt I'll ever be able to afford Nordstrom itself, but I am completely and utterly the Rack's bitch.
