I am a big time Nordies online purchaser, and I keep dozens of items in my Wish List even after I have purchased them. I posted previously that my Michael Kors fingerless gloves went on sale and then to my surprise went back up to their regular price a day or two later, and that I was told that Nordstrom had a Michael Kors Day and that all his stuff had gone on discount. Well, a few weeks later, these same gloves were marked down again by the same 25% for a week or two, but now they are back again at full price! And the Topshop tops that were marked down for about a week have gone back to full price!

So this is to say that if something that interests you is marked down, it may be better to pull the trigger and then decide later -- but only if you are good about making those returns! At least online, I didn't see any notice that the price cuts were temporary, the way you would know on the Gap site. Not sure if something was there that I just clicked through.
