The below content is about the 2015 Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.
I'm still having problems getting into Nordstrom from the homepage, but I'm not having a problem when I go to individual products (like ones we've featured before, or like this link to the general workwear section). So I thought I'd do a quickie roundup of some workwear ideas from the sale… tons of great dresses, sweaters, pants, and lots of heels and flats, particularly in lucky sizes. Ladies, what have you bought at the big Half-Yearly Sale thus far? What other major post-holiday sales have you taken advantage of?

And Nordstrom just emailed to say the leggings they let order they don’t actually have either. I’m kind of surprised this is so rampant when we’ve invented computers to do inventory. This seems to be a purposeful strategy by the company, like overselling airline seats, the Nordstrom version.

Eh, I’d think it’s not a purposeful strategy so much as balancing the cost to power real time updates (vs every 24 hours, every hour, or every 15 minutes) against customer satisfaction. Unless that think it will reduce future volumes, is unlikely that they’ll spend to get closer to real time. Incremental improvements in visibility probably have negligible impact on sales.

Maybe someone was in line and bought them at the same time! Seriously though I feel like either my life is going by really really fast this year or Nordstrom is ALWAYS having a sale.

Just got the classiques entire olive dress. I’d been eyeing it for a while and it has just slipped off my radar.

The lightweight cashmere Halogen Sweaters make me sad. I ordered a bunch and the style is too long to leave over my high waisted skirts and too baggy to tuck in. I guess I will have to wear them with jeans and buy all new sweaters. OH DARN
