Thank you! I love my black skirt BTW; HUGE thanks to Angie to pointing this find out as I would never have thought to look at it otherwise, and it fills a gaping hole in my closet. Egads, what I'd do for a gray one . . . may have to go poking around the Rack.</p> <p>AG and the others who are trying to nab one, my fingers are crossed for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-238162 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 21:23:34 +0000 Maya 238162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had this happen to me too with another item. Not loving this system so far I'd actually much rather keep store inventories and online inventories separate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-238161 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 21:21:42 +0000 catgirl 238161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Jeneva. If my Nordstrom gets it I will be able to have someone save some for me, as I have cultivated a friendship with my favorite salesgal. Appreciate the information, and no, I never shoot a messenger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-237872 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 02:39:45 +0000 Jenava 237872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I can't actually SEE the colors, but from the descriptions that's what I'm thinking they are. I did get this skirt in violet, barely (on the 1st day of the sale employees aren't allowed to shop to 2 pm, and by then it was sold out! someone returned it, though, and a very vigilant salesperson snapped it up for me).</p> <p>I would also love to see what some of those colors end up being. They sound intriguing and it's a great skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-237684 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 21:38:31 +0000 Kari 237684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenavra, this is interesting information! Even if there are some kinks in the process, I think it's great that Nordstrom is linking the warehouse and in-store inventory systems together. I wish that other stores did that.</p> <p>I'm personally glad that the skirt will come back in different colors. The olive didn't really work with my skin tone, so I got it in gray (which I like a lot.) I wish I had duplicated in that beautiful deep violet color. However, I'd LOVE to try navy, burgundy, or forest green! So fun, and such a great skirt. I'll have to save up for January as I'm sure it probably won't be on sale immediately, unlike the NAS new fall items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-237675 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 21:15:18 +0000 Traci 237675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/3139437?origin=stylenumsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/31.....enumsearch</a></p> <p>eta: I was late with the link. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-237672 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 21:00:24 +0000 Jenava 237672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I found it. There are some Black and Grey skirts at various Nordstrom Racks.</p> <p>It is also coming back to online, but not in the same colors (this happened last time, too, the brought it back in slightly different colors). It looks like the colors will be black, bright navy, a couple different greens, and maybe a burgundy?</p> <p>The bad news is, it won't be in until Jan/Feb timeframe. Boo.</p> <p>Please note, I do not have anything to do with ordering product! So please don't think there is anything I can do to change any of this...I'm just the messenger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-237667 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:55:34 +0000 MsMary 237667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, all I know is I really, really, REALLY hope they bring this skirt back at some point. And sooner rather than later would be good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-237661 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:53:15 +0000 Jenava 237661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's some insight;<br /> Nordies recently updated their inventory system online to look at all brick and mortar store's inventory as well when determining if the item was in stock. So, sometimes you'll order online and it will actually be shipped from the store. This is good, but also means that when it's out online it is pretty much out everywhere. Also, store inventory is less accurate (lots of people touching it, so it's easy for errors to occur). So when inventory is low, it's more likely to also be wrong, unfortunately )-: Also, if they have a replenishment order coming in they'll backorder it, not cancel the order. So, a cancelled order is really bad news.</p> <p>Barbara, "real-time" is a relative term! There are lots of system involved in the online store supply chain (distribution centers, online store software, inventory software, etc), so all those systems have to play nice. Updating each piece takes time and is pretty complex. The Pickup In Store flag does use "real time" inventory, but it's actually an inventory number that is updated with regular frequency. Clothing and shoes is difficult because it is so size-intensive. Some shoes have over 60 sizes (length x width)!</p> <p>Kari, in your case if you hadn't done buy online p/u in store (BOPUS (-:) then it probably would've gotten shipped from either the website warehouse or another store that had it. Lucky you, you got it shipped for free because your store's inventory was off.</p> <p>So there you go, more than you ever wanted to know about inventory systems...LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-237491 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 17:24:39 +0000 Kari 237491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AlaskaGirl and others: one route that you might try is calling a Nordstrom store directly to see if they can find any in your size in inventory in *any* other stores. I had placed an order just the other day where I had requested in-store pickup and saw that my order was cancelled. When I called, the customer service rep said that the online inventory showed that there was one of these items showing available in their store, but they were not physically able to locate it. Since my particular store was not able to fulfill the order, he placed an order for ALL stores that had this item available in the size I had requested, and set it up so that if one of the stores has the item available, it would be shipped directly to me without having to pay any shipping charges. It might be worth a try... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236816 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:00:29 +0000 Barbara 236816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Canceled orders stink! Sometimes an item is SO popular, it's actually out of stock when you order it. Shouldn't the computers have real-time inventory software? Some online websites and stores have this option.</p> <p>This shouldn't happen - we live in a modern electronic paradise, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236810 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 12:40:33 +0000 Kari 236810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, what a bummer! I'm so sorry. Perhaps they are still working out the kinks on the online system since the Rack's online store is brand-new.<br /> I placed a few orders through Nordstrom Rack online, and one is "expected to arrive on Nov. 1" - I sincerely hope that mine won't also be cancelled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236794 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 11:22:23 +0000 Marigold 236794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boo, I hope it comes back just in time for Christmas shopping! Seems like a very popular item! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236748 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 05:30:02 +0000 Elizabeth 236748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They canceled my order too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236746 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 05:18:07 +0000 catgirl 236746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jeneva. Put in a word for us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236742 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 05:10:24 +0000 Jenava 236742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sucks, you guys! Their inventory must have been way off...</p> <p>It's a Nordstrom private label, and I know they brought that design back for Anniversary from the year before. Fingers crossed it comes back in a few months! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236724 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 04:31:17 +0000 Reneeb 236724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried to locate the skirt in a petite and did not have any luck either. I ended up buying 2 of these today at Loft. I am sure the quality is not the same but it was thick enough to not show every wrinkle. The fit was good and I loved the back seams.<br /> <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=28160&#038;N=1200010&#038;pCategoryId=3359&#038;categoryId=210&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_210&#038;loc=TN&#038;defaultColor=Hazy" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....Color=Hazy</a> Grey Melange&amp;defaultSizeType=Regular </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236721 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 04:11:22 +0000 catgirl 236721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Marley - we're disappointment twins. I was totally frustrated. If you ordered that long ago, it's so so much worse! What's up with the inventory? I love our local Nordie's but just don't have the same luck online.</p> <p>I figure it will show up in local consignment stores eventually, but it could be one of those items people never want to give up. </p> <p>If I find a good substitute, you'll be the first to know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236713 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 03:54:34 +0000 Marley 236713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? I ordered that skirt several weeks ago, and after seeing your post, I checked my e-mails - and they canceled on me too! What's up with that? This is the 2nd item that I have ordered from them this last month that they have ended up canceling. I've never had that happen before. So frustrating! AG - surely we can find a basic black pencil skirt someWHERE!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-halogen-skirt-for-me#post-236708 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 03:47:42 +0000 catgirl 236708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom just wrote to cancel my order. Blah. Lesson learned - buy something when it's there, or suffer later. </p>
