Perks and Rec: July 22

Not to be outdone by Big Sis Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack just opened up its Clear the Rack sale, offering an extra 25% on hundreds of already discounted pieces. And when something was already 57% off — ahem, this summery Calvin Klein dress — it adds up to a total steal.

We're also shopping a sale at Academy Sports & Outdoors, where all the late-summer gear you could want is up to 50% off. I'm talking about a cute and practical sandal for $10.19, and this camping chair that literally rocks.

Bag those deals and have a great weekend.
