Unfortunately, I didn't buy it when it went on sale, and it's no longer available. Here's a photo of the sweater vest, featured in an outfit with the Equipment Signature Tomcat blouse (outfit on the left) :</p> <p>Right now, the Equipment Signature "Tomcat" blouse is temporarily no longer available, and the Design History sweater vest is also sold out...so "Complete the Look" is now featuring a pair of black pants to go with the blouse instead of the skirt and sweater as featured in the catalogue. </p> <p>Just something to keep in mind when things go on sale. Just for the record, out of sheer luck, I found the Design History sweater vest at my local Nordstrom Rack, even though it's not available on Nordstrom's site. I'm still stalking the blouse, it's in my wishlist, and here's hoping it pops back up in there </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-480729 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 16:17:25 +0000 Queen Mum 480729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks VC.. I get it now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-480722 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 16:05:32 +0000 velvetychocolate 480722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Correction: it's "Complete the Look" A lot of times, when you're looking at an item, such as the famed Halogen Seamed Pencil Skirt, if you scroll down the page, and look on the right, you'll see "Complete the Look" with suggested items to wear with the piece you were looking at. </p> <p>Here's the example:</p> <p>Halogen Seamed Pencil Skirt in a new blue colour:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt/3093787?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=280" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....ltback=280</a></p> <p>And if you scroll down the page (close to where the reviews and comments start, off to the right is "Complete the Look"), you'll see a couple of items suggested:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pleione-sleeveless-houndstooth-bow-top/3214822?origin=coordinating-3214822-0-1-2" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pl.....4822-0-1-2</a></p> <p>and..</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/olivia-moon-knit-blazer/3209652?origin=coordinating-3209652-0-1-1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ol.....9652-0-1-1</a></p> <p>in the "Complete the Look" sidebar. I tried to get a screen shot, but had trouble saving it...but here's sort of what it looks like on your screen (pic #4). </p> <p>An even better example is the following:</p> <p>A beautiful tie neck blouse (pic #5):</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-tie-neck-blouse/3201662?origin=category&#038;resultback=315" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....ltback=315</a></p> <p>You'll see the blouse featured in an outfit - probably was a catalogue photo (pic#6):</p> <p>And further down the screen, under "Complete the Look" you see the exact items featured in photo#6 - if you wanted that same sweater and leggings to go with the blouse - pic#7</p> <p>It can get confusing, because as you can see - the "Complete the Look" sidebar for the Halogen Tie Neck blouse shows a *beige* sweater instead of a grey one, as pictured in #6, but if you click on that beige sweater, you'll see it comes in the grey colour featured in photo #6. Sooo....long winded way of saying there's a neat feature in Nordstrom's site that allows you to find pieces to go with things you're thinking of ordering/buying, and exactly which items were featured in a styled catalogue picture or what have you. </p> <p>Hope I haven't made this overly complicated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-480664 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:30:53 +0000 Queen Mum 480664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>where's this "complete an outfit" feature you're talking about VC? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-480614 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:29:12 +0000 Makrame 480614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree with Velvetychocolate about Nordstrom's website being one of the best ever. I love the wish list and the instant inventory. I now try to put all colors and sizes that I might want on the wish list because than I can instantly see when a specific color or size becomes available again.</p> <p>I have gotten price adjustments after the official two-week window - maybe after 3 weeks or so. The wish list is very helpful for watching price changes after purchasing an item.</p> <p>Hope the jacket goes on sale soon, Brenda! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-480404 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 23:23:37 +0000 Debora 480404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again for the information on the Nordstrom wishlists. I just created an account. </p> <p>Good luck with the jacket, Brenda! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-480337 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 22:15:53 +0000 Ginkgo 480337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bingo! I just created my Nordstrom's account. Thanks for the tip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-480254 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:20:56 +0000 Jill 480254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fwiw, i rarely buy anything full price, but i did scoop up this same jacket in black. it fit the bill in every way for me and i didn't want to risk missing out on it. i've already worn it several times and i love it. it's very nice quality. good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479981 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 04:14:35 +0000 velvetychocolate 479981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a really good site Whatever you're doing, you're doing an amazing job!!</p> <p>Back to the topic at hand - qfbrenda - sounds like you might want to check on Mondays/Tuesdays to see if the jacket you're wanting is on sale. If not, it might be a case of "BBQ" (Buy Buy Quick?) - what do you think? In the meantime, I will keep my fingers crossed that this coming Monday and/or Tuesday - that your favourite jacket goes on for 50% off and comes in your exact size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479959 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 03:34:33 +0000 Jenava 479959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so tickled by the positive comments! I work in the technology group and have been involved in the perpetual inventory as well as a tiny bit in the buy-online features. I can tell you that Nordstrom's fantastic culture of customer service DEFINITELY extends to its IT area. Our IT group has a huge passion for putting the customer first, even if we aren't on the "front lines" in the stores.

If you see something you like while looking around the site but aren't quite ready to buy yet, you can instantly add something to your own personal 'wish list'. </p> <p>Bonus? When you look at your wish list from time to time, you will see when things have been marked down. </p> <p>Highly recommend this feature. Nordstrom is on par or even way better than Amazon when it comes to keeping track of your favourite items, wish-lists, and so on. I also love the fact that Nordstrom is particularly good at determining whether or not an item is in stock. It might be weird to see that an item you have on your wish list is suddenly on sale for a rock-bottom price, or that it might suddenly be "gone" (ie. no longer available), but the best part? Those same items will show up in your wish list the moment they become available again. </p> <p>I think the Nordstrom web site is the very best retail website I've come across. I'm particularly impressed by the fact that Nordstrom is a department store, and not Amazon or what have you. Just *love* the fact that a bricks-and-mortar store has what I consider to be the very best web site I've ever shopped. You get the sale prices right away on your wish list, you get beautiful photos of the item, you get 'complete this outift' - a great feature. You get petite and/or plus sized items modeled by people in those sizes, plus free shipping and returns. This is pretty much the rock star of all retail web sites as far as I'm concerned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479901 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:06:04 +0000 Isis 479901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, its a great way to keep track! Also, if you are thinking of purchasing a blouse, for example, you can see how the colors go with a skirt that you've already purchased if the skirt is in your wishlist!</p> <p>I am so impressed with Nordies website and up-to-date inventory statistics (and customer service!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479897 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:03:22 +0000 Debora 479897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Isis! I never knew that feature existed before now. I'll definitely open an account. So often I see something on a forum member, mentally make a note of it, and then promptly forget all about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479895 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 01:59:51 +0000 Isis 479895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora--if you make an account on the nordstrom website, you can add things to your wishlist (instead of the cart)... The prices will change and you can keep track of availability....I like it, even for things I have purchased, because I like to see the pictures of items, and how they are styled.....</p> <p>I asked Nordstrom about cost adjustments, and their "official policy" is to give one if the price goes down within 2 weeks of the purchase price. So they should do that no questions asked, even if your size is not available. If it goes down after that, I guess you could do a return and repurchase, but I feel funny about that, if I've worn the item or its more than 2 weeks...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479867 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 01:04:30 +0000 Debora 479867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do wishlists work? Does Nordstrom's have one and do you list the items you are stalking? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479863 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:57:59 +0000 velvetychocolate 479863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really useful information - glad you asked qfbrenda, and I appreciate learning about the Monday/Tuesday thing from those 'in the know'. </p> <p>I've got a bunch of stuff in my wishlist, and I'm always shocked when I go look at it out of the blue and see some amazing sale prices, seemingly unrelated to a particular sale. I have not yet been able to make sense of it, and hearing about the discounting on Mondays/Tuesdays helps a *whole* lot. </p> <p>I love the Nordstrom website. So up-to-the-minute, and even though I sometimes see that an item in my wishlist is 'no longer available' - the website is so good that it'll pop back in there again. Neat!</p> <p>eta: goldenpig - I have asked for a price adjustment on Amazon before, but haven't tried it with Nordstrom - thank you for the useful tip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479842 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:35:01 +0000 qfbrenda 479842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, Kelly, that's the one. I would totally pay full price, but we seem to be bleeding money at the moment.... water pump on the suburban, dishwasher dying, printer died, medical bills.... I could go on... good thing we have a savings account. But a sale would be helpful! LOL Otherwise I'll probably find some Christmas money to get it. It's too perfect to pass up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479832 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:22:57 +0000 Sylvie 479832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP, I thought you could only get a price adjustment if you were within a certain time frame and the item was still in stock.</p> <p>I got one price adjustment on my trench when it went on sale within a week or two of my purchase. The price has since gone down further, but my size/color isn't in stock. So now I'm out of luck (which is fair since I've been wearing it).</p> <p>The black dress I just got went on sale and sold out within a week of my purchase. They weren't able to give me a price adjustment online. I had to gently pressure the customer service person to get the adjustment in store. She ended up calling their internal line and they were able to adjust it for me.</p> <p>Otherwise everything eventually goes on sale so wouldn't you never end up paying full price? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479822 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:08:05 +0000 Jenava 479822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They did take a huge number of MDs on black Friday, but if the jacket is a new item there may still be hope. (-: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479820 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:06:14 +0000 Jenava 479820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually markdowns are taken on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday, and they don't wait for a sale to take them. Half Yearly and Anniversary are sale "events" but you can find markdowns at any time.</p> <p>I do what QM does. In fact, my pet peeve r.e. the new iphone app is that the price isn't show in the wishlist! (-: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479797 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:26:40 +0000 goldenpig 479797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the opposite of QM. If I really love something, I'll buy it even if it's full price. Then if I find out it happens to go on sale later, I'll ask for a price adjustment. I haven't had a problem with this whenever I have asked at Nordstrom. It usually works at Anthro too but sometimes I have had to rebuy the item and return it with the full price receipt. This only works at places with unlimited return periods though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479787 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:06:37 +0000 Queen Mum 479787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that most everything goes on sale eventually. I keep stuff on my wishlist and pull the trigger when it shows up reduced. Usually that is on a Monday or Tuesday, and doesn't necessarily correspond to a store wide sale.<br /> True, you run the risk of your size selling out, but it has become my new MO... I just can't be paying full price for stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479782 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:59:45 +0000 kellygirl 479782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IDK but is this the jacket? I was too worried it would sell out so I pulled the trigger on this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-known-nordstrom-sales-coming-up#post-479774 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:47:27 +0000 qfbrenda 479774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a jacket I'm dying to get but would love to have the price knocked down a bit. Do they commonly have sales in December? This is the first year I've paid attention to such things so I'm clueless. </p>
