I thought it was just me. And it's especially true for the stores you mention. Could very well be tied to our economic woes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-my-imagination-or-#post-26306 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 19:58:12 +0000 shana 26306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I doubt they will discontinue but the salesperson did tell me something interesting. I was looking for that champagne colored silk shirt that Shiny was sporting a couple of weeks back - I was trying to get it in the plum color in petite. My store didn't have this item in petite and it wasn't offered online. So I asked if there were any other stores in the state that might carry it. The salesperson checked and told me that only "Tier 2 petite" stores carry it and she printed me a list with availability. The local (Northeast) tier 2 stores were all in NYC except for 1 in Boston (Boylston). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-my-imagination-or-#post-26296 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:52:38 +0000 Patience 26296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I think you're right about BR. I used to shop in store and online there a lot and have not been inspired lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-my-imagination-or-#post-26294 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:33:16 +0000 shiny 26294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really worried they may discontinue petite line! And yet, I did notice that they've now started offering petites at OldNavy.com... so maybe I needn't worry too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-my-imagination-or-#post-26235 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:26:51 +0000 shana 26235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The BR petities section in the store has been slim pickings lately. My local mall is not that close and in the several weeks since I had been there seemed to be no change. But the website is worse - it really feels like weeks since I've seen many updates. I've also noticed quite a few items that are in the stores that have not made it on the website which is annoying since my local BR does not have an extensive petites section. I usually go online to find items in my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-my-imagination-or-#post-26214 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 03:05:52 +0000 shiny 26214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I'm positive BR, AT, and ATL all used to have new arrivals on their site once a week - usually Monday or Tuesday. I know, because I always checked. Maybe not *every* week... sometimes there are lulls between seasons.. it just seems like this has been a BIG long lull!!! </p> <p>My local BR gets new shipments every Tuesday - but they have not had anything new at all in ... three or four weeks.<br /> (at least in the petite section) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-my-imagination-or-#post-26211 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 02:55:33 +0000 Ana 26211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm....I've maybe noticed that a little. But then when I go into the actual store, it seems like they are getting new items in a lot faster. I'm not really sure what to think. Maybe other people have noticed this too.</p> <p>Tanya, I noticed that too! I was thinking that fall isn't even officially here yet, and they're already having a sale! I haven't noticed any other retailers having any major fall sales (mostly summer stuff still). Maybe BR is trying to beat everyone to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-my-imagination-or-#post-26210 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 02:54:17 +0000 Tanya 26210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I think that those stores you have mentioned get new arrivals on the monthly base, but not all of them quite at once, which is why it may look to you that they come in in weekly bases. I have just noticed that BR is having a big fall sale now, which probably means that they are trying to clear space for a new wave of things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-my-imagination-or-#post-26209 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 02:51:31 +0000 shiny 26209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It used to be that online retailers had new arrivals almost every single week. Lately, I haven't seen this happening. It seems that BR, ATL, AT have had the same items on their sites for weeks on end.</p> <p>Is this a momentary lull before fall hits full speed ahead?</p> <p>Or a sign of the economy and deepening recession? </p>
