I don't shop in department stores very often. I get overwhelmed by all the cute choices, and many items are out of my budget. Nordstrom's Savvy department just totally eliminated both hurdles for me though. I was offered the chance to check out Savvy with a gift card, and I loved it. Almost everything is under $100, and when I'm in the store I can just look for "Savvy" on the wall to narrow down the choices to ones I can afford. Check out 50+ of my favorite Savvy items on ShopStyle here, and a few pictured below. I picked up the graphic t-shirt in today's outfit in the store, and I'm planning to place an order online soon - the quilted skirt and hot pink dress below are calling my name. Have you ever shopped Nordstrom's Savvy department? What are your tips and tricks for department store shopping?
