If you are a frequent visitor of Natalie in the City, you already know that I am a huge fan of Gordmans! While many of you currently love getting your favorite designer brands for less at Gordmans, I have had conversations on social media about not having a Gordmans close to you. Well, that all might be changing—depending on where you live.
And that’s because Gordmans is growing! During March, Gordmans opened 38 new locations…and I’d say that calls for a celebration! Find out if they opened one near you: Gordmans Store Finder.
Hearing this news made me crave a Gordmans trip, so I decided to go to the retailer to stock up on a new spring and summer wardrobe. When I got there, I was overwhelmed with all of the new styles they had for spring and summer, as well as a couple of cute sweaters to finish off the last of the winter months. Although, every Gordmans I have ever been to has a great plus size section, I always visit the Valparaiso, Indiana location because it has the best and biggest selection of plus size clothing.
I got all of these spring and summer looks for less than $60, which is such a bargain because these are some of the brands I typically pay full price for! Thanks to Gordmans for being an off-price retailer, I can score all of my favorite designer brands for a fraction of the price. If you aren’t familiar with off-price retailers, they essentially buy excess inventory from department and specialty stores, then sell it at greatly reduced prices. So let’s dive into each of these looks! You will never believe the brands I scored!
LIFE OF THE PARTY
– Eye Candy Stripe Jumpsuit: Size 1X | $12.99
– Express Beige Ankle Booties: Size 9 | $9.99
I love this look for a night out with my girls or a summer brunch. This jumpsuit is so stretchy and comfortable, but it doesn’t lack style or emphasis!
SUMMER LOVE
– Love, Fire Romper: Size 2X | $16.99
– Express Beige Ankle Booties: Size 9 | $9.99
Every summer, I try to find a cute romper that I just feel adorable in. And I think I may have found my go-to for this year. I rarely ever wear navy and red together, but I am loving this subtle color combo, and I think this romper is the cutest!
EASY BREEZY
– Belle Tweed Striped Dress: Size 2X | $12.99
– Express Beige Ankle Booties: Size 9 | $9.99
– Luxe Accessories Necklace $6.99
When the temperatures rise, I opt for a mini fit—every time. I love this mini ruffle dress, and the stripes are nice touch. This dress is so stretchy and soft, which means I get to look sexy and be comfortable at the same time. Win win!
CUTE AND COZY
– Design History Animal Print Sweater: Size 2X | $8.99
– Puma Platform Sneaker: Size 9 | $21.99
Because I live in Chicago, I’m not out of the woods yet when it comes to the close of winter. We still have days where it’s 30° or below well into May. So having a stylish and warm look like this on hand is ideal. I have been obsessed with animal print lately, as well as platform sneakers. So I figured the two would go perfect together!
