Imagine being this gullible. They put fake tags on inferior B-grade and defective crap.
Occam's Razor says you're just mad you paid full price for something that later ended up on a clearance rack.
Not PP, and I shop discount stores, but I agree that the "original price" stickers are total BS. Very little of Nordstrom Racks merch is actually discounted designer. It is mostly stuff manufactured specifically for discount or outlet stores. That's not a dig, and you can certainly find some quality merchandise in these stores on occasion.

This was the best and where I learned everything about clothes!!!
Filene’s was the absolute best. I used to stop in the one on Connecticut at least a few times each week during lunch. I miss it.

I got a Fleurette wool coat for under $200. That’s not counting the many pairs of shoes that I’ve purchased over the years. If you like to shop and recognize quality, there are excellent bargains to be found.

She is there several times a week. She ALWAYS buys something. Anything. Clothes. Household items. Etc. her house is neat and organized but I’ve noticed tons of stuff, especially clothes still with the tags and closets full of new kitchen supplies or towels and sheets. I don’t think a day goes by where she doesn’t think about stopping at one of these stores.

I like actually touching the material before I buy.
This. Shopping on line doesn't work for me. I'm not skinny so everything is work because sizes are all over the place. I have to order 10 items to find one that works. Dealing with returns sucks and some stores that I like have terrible return policies. I miss Woodies.
