I had a skirt on my wishlist earlier this fall that sold out in my size before I could order it, and it kept reappearing on my wishlist, and I could add it to my cart, but then when I went to check out it told me my size had sold out again. Happened two or three times before I finally gave up and stopped trying to order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-splurge-scarf-that-got-away#post-1588682 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 18:21:41 +0000 Kristin SF 1588682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's still showing as orderable, then it's worth a call to Nordstrom's customer service. They might just be able to locate it for you! This exact thing happened to me around a pair of backordered jeans - I ordered it twice, it was canceled twice, and then I finally just called them. It worked! </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-splurge-scarf-that-got-away#post-1588660 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:09:13 +0000 Carla 1588660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*sigh* I still lament 'the one that got away' about 3 years ago. It was an evening coat of heavy satin with a red rose floral print on black. It had a very 50's full skirt. It was designer, marked down, but still a little pricy. I talked myself out of it - thinking it wouldn't get much wear.</p> <p>I am a little sad every time I think about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-splurge-scarf-that-got-away#post-1588645 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:17:29 +0000 unfrumped 1588645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not by any means a Burberry or other name-brand groupie, but this scarf turned up in my search for scarves and sales and I fell for the color combo. I am a sucker for raspberry-orange or burgundy-pumpkin combinations as I feel they "unsweeten" the berries and also just add that jolt of other color.</p> <p>I decided to try it and then determine at home whether the feel and size and colors looked as though I'd wear it a lot or it'd sit on the bench.</p> <p>Though it continues to appear online and lets you order it as backordered, Nordie's later sends a, sorry, not available. I even ordered it more than once because I thought the orderability meant it had come back into stock! </p> <p>Perhaps this is the fashion fates saving me from an unwise impulse buy?<br />I tried to find it online elsewhere but it does not show up. I think that also can be the "I'm determined to get this now" gene that acts up if one is thwarted in pursuit!</p> <p>I also finally realized how <u>many</u> color combos Burberry puts out and that I "might should", as we say, target a much more mainstream, fall-winter wardrobe-color combo (not the original Burberry check, but burgundy/gray/black etc). However, <u>this one </u>is the one that spoke happy-happy!</p> <p>Maybe you also had "the one that got away" and are going, maybe it's for the best, and "next". </p> </p> <p>ETA: It's back in stock but the reviews indicate it's <u>very</u> delicate and gets snags easily. I suppose I could check for myself, as certainly I've had different reactions than reviewers, but that is not what I want to hear. I like lightweight wools like the Nordstrom wool challis but this sounds too ephemeral. The worse thing would be thinking it's okay and then, bam, mucho dollars shot. So, next!</p>
