You just have to grab them when you see something you like. You can always return it, that's the beauty of Nordstrom. I have bought two dresses and a pair of shoes from Nordstrom during the snow storms here. Most likely both dresses will go back but the shoes are a keeper! Check Neiman Marcus, they are having the same type of sale.

I did find two dresses for other occasions -- not on sale and not good for the weddings but I bought them anyhow! I was complaining a little lol... but more letting others know of the recent deep discounts.

As for the dresses I selected, it's very possible that I decided I liked them more when they weren't available -- and after the price dropped so much. I think the universe decided I need something with sleeves and a more defined waist!

I right clicked the photo and Google searched it to see if I could see it anywhere else. It seems that Dillards also carries the brand. Did you check other stores to see if they carried it?

Or you could just listen to the universe.

I know what you mean! I'm so glad I ordered the dress I had been looking at last week. It came and I'm thrilled with it. DD is getting married in May and I found a navy Ellen Tracy knee-length sleeveless lace dress on sale for $70 so I snagged it. It fits like a dream and she likes it too, so for now it's the one. It's going to be a very small wedding (2nd marriage for both), family only, so I think it will work fine.

How strange.. I did the same and did not find a match at Dillards or anywhere other than Nordstrom (or sites linking to Nordstrom). I searched also searched on Dillards with no luck (but they have plenty of other styles!)

I think the universe is seriously telling me something!

Oh glad that were able to get a good deal, Outside! I had an Ellen Tracy suit that I bought many years ago at Wanamakers (that in itself says how many years ago it was!). I just loved how it fit and wore.

Thanks for the suggestion-- but Nordstrom says pretty clearly that if it is sold out on the site, it's sold out in the stores. I am a wee bit competitive with the internet when it comes to things like this so I DID check online and call the store. It's out.

No worries-- there are plenty of dresses in the world and while this one charmed me, it probably wasn't the best option. It's too formal for one of them and too summery for the other.

Again, I posted this primarily to alert others to the sale!

What a shame they sold out of the dress. It's very pretty!

ahh, Wanamakers!

Yah, I get used to things selling out. It happens.. it was just that it was so few hours! It was probably 1am or later when I added them to my cart. By 10am they had sold out of ALL sizes. I'll keep an eye on Nordstrom Rack.. sometimes things that sell out in the store show up there.

In the meantime, I shared the link with my sister who still needs both MOG and MOB dresses.

Wanamakers- I worked there through college. Perfect job.
