I'm a firm believer in trusting yourself when you're attracted to a certain color. I find that once or twice a year, I am strongly drawn to a particular color, and it doesn't always suit my natural coloring. I buy an item in the color and always enjoy my purchase. So I say go for it.
As for Nordie's vs. Saks, if you want to buy it at Nordie's, they might match the price for you.
