A girl always remembers her first pair of red-soled pumps. Especially when they’re $101.97.
That’s correct. I scored a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps for $101.97.
A few weeks ago, I visited Nordstrom Rack’s new Last Chance location in Lombard, Illinois with Emma and my friend Blair from The Fox and She. And it was the best shopping experience of my entire life. ;)
We were there for a little over two hours, and I swear I never made it out of the shoe aisle, haha. Yes, that’s partly due to the fact that Emma had a mini mental breakdown during our excursion. But in addition to the Louboutin pumps, I walked out of the store with three pairs of Tory Burch shoes for between $29.97 and $41.97 each as well as a pair of Sam Edelman leopard pumps for $5.97.
Granted, my shoe shopping for the year is now over. ;) But so much fun, and totally worth it… am I right?!
Chicago’s Last Chance store opened to the public on October 20th inside Lombard’s Yorktown Shopping Center. It’s an amazing place to find bargains on current shoes and apparel from some of the best brands out there. There were just so many times that Blair and I asked each other, “Is this really happening?!” We simply couldn’t get over the deals!
As you can see from the stickers, products are sold “as is.” Some of them have slight signs of wear–a scuff here or a missing box there–but everything is completely wearable. And, I mean, almost all of my purchases were made on shoes that are currently being sold in stores at full price. Such a great feeling!
Anyway, I really can’t recommend Chicago’s Last Chance location more. Fantastic finds at unbeatable prices. Bring a friend (or a baby) and make a day out of it, for sure!
And yes: the girl who only owns 2.5-inch heels is having a bit of trouble walking in her first (and last) pair of Louboutins. But she’ll learn. Oh, she’ll learn.
This post was sponsored by Last Chance, but all opinions are my own. As always, thank you so much for supporting the partnerships that keep Kelly in the City up and running!
Ummmmmm BEST FINDS EVER! You killed it! Also, I’ve found that Louboutins never get comfier, your feet just grow numb to the pain hahha. Beautiful shoes!!

Hahahaha Carly. Cracking up. PAIN IS BEAUTY. ;)
That’s so incredible!! Best shopping experience ever sounds like such a true statement. I just looked up Last Chance and there’s one in Phoenix where my best friend moved a month ago…I think I need to make a trip to visit her ASAP!
YES! Such a great idea! Let me know if you end up going. Would love to hear what it’s like!
Score!

Such a fun day with you. <3 Love you!
WHAT?! $101?! Excuse me I have to get in my car and drive there right now!

Heidi, YAS! Let me know if you score anything good!
A pair of Louboutins for $100 might just justify that drive out into the suburbs ;)
Kristina does the Internets
RIGHT? Incredible…
Do you recommend going at a certain time? Or did you get early access?
Hi Meaghan!
I did get early access, but I spoke with the staff, and they say that they space out the merchandise so that it doesn’t all hit the shelves at the same time. So I would just try your luck! :) And go back frequently if possible!! xx
Those heels look HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT on you! Just bring flats along but you definitely need to pull those out! So jealous, I wish I could stop by!

Maybe you should come visit me in Chicago with Rebecca… ;)
OMG, I live in Naperville and Yorktown Mall is like 20 minutes away, I’m going this weekend!!!!!!!!!
SARA! Did you make out well?! Update us!!
The games had me so stressed I was mentally exhausted every night, but I’m going this weekend, now that the Cubbies are the Champs normal life can ensue…….
Haha! I just read this to Mitch and he loved it. We agree that while we’re so happy the Cubbies won, it’s time for life to return to normal! ;) Good luck!! xx
Oh my gosh, those black flats! I’m dying and looking up whether there’s a Last Chance in the DC area…

Classic Catherine

After reading this post I went to Yorktown as soon as the weekend came. I’m so bummed that I didn’t find anything. No kidding I was looking at the bottom of every shoe haha Must be a timing thing. I wonder when they get new shipments to the store.
Awwww! I’m so sorry to hear that! Yes; I actually talked to the staff on the day that I went and they said that they space the “good stuff” out… so it may have just been timing. I would try again! I’d also think that the time of the season probably has something to do with it… you know? Wishing you luck! <3
I was so excited to visit Last Chance after reading this post and finally made a trip to the burbs yesterday to check it out. Nordstrom Rack is usually “my place” for shoes, so I was sure I would find something. Unfortunately, EVERYTHING I was interested in looked incredibly worn, and in some cases damaged beyond repair, including clothing and handbags.
Ladies – though there are surely hidden gems amongst the immense clutter, please be warned it may not be worth the trip…unless of course you pair it with a stop to IKEA like I did ;-)
Hi Kelli!
So apparently they restock the “good stuff” every so often — So I might check back! :) It’s definitely a “chance” thing, but when you hit it at the right time, it can be awesome!
