New Markdowns

Okay, so it’s BLACK FRIDAY the day after Thanksgiving and that has traditionally been known for lining up at ever increasing crazy hours at local stores and malls – the Monday after Thanksgiving has always been known for online shopping so much so that is was dubbed ” Cyber Monday”.

Well since the stores started doing sales pretty early this year in the hopes of spurring holiday sales I was imagining that the online world wouldn’t wait until Cyber-Monday and would bust out the deals early but so far I’m not really bowled over by much.

I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you what the deals are because chances are you’ve visited your favorite shops already to check things out so I’ll just do a bit of a ’round up:

The only high end retailers of plus size clothing doing anything of note for Black Friday in my opinion are Saks and LaGrandeDame

Yes, Saks prices will only be low until the end of today (Friday) or to be more precise 12:01AM Eastern time on Saturday and yes, Saks has done a few sales over the past few weeks and the pricing on a great majority of the black friday sale items are the same as they were a few weeks ago BUT there are some pieces that do have significantly higher markdowns than we’ve seen thusfar and the prices on some items are EYE POPPING – of course most have LIMITED SIZING left SO CLICK NOW – I mean RIGHT THIS INSTANT if you see anything you like ;)

Some drop dead deals – we’re talking these items are 70-80% OFF PEOPLE!!!!

2) Bloomies:  From now until Sunday Bloomies is offering $25 OFF for every $200 spent.  If math isn’t your thing that adds up to a whopping 12.5% OFF.  One bargain that did catch my eye is the Elie Tahari Wool Ruffle Coat in black.  It normally retails for $798 but has been marked down to $359.10 so take another $25 off and you’re looking at $334.10 and free shipping.

3) Nordstrom – Nothing new in terms of higher end plus size markdowns with the exception of this Lafayette 148 Plus Size black leather shirt jacket which is now 40% OFF:

4) From now until Sunday Dillard’s is offering 40% OFF already reduced items.  Dillard’s starts their markdowns at 40% OFF so 40% OFF + another 40% OFF ain’t too shabby it’s just that Dillard’s does 40% OFF already reduced items a few times a year.  After Thanksgiving is supposed to be special gosh darn it!  That being said there is some deeply discounted Eileen Fisher Plus Size and Misook Plus Sizes to be had:

5) LaGrandeDame.com is doing 20% OFF their entire PLUS they are awarding Gift Certificates for use on their site come January based on the amount you spend:

Spend $100-$199 and get a $20 gift certificate
Spend $200-$299 and get a $50 gift certificate
Spend $300-$399 and get a $70 gift certificate
Spend $400-$499 and get a $100 gift certificate
Spend $500 + and get 20% back as a gift certificate

Use Code: BLACKFRIDAY2020

They have the two most fabulous new Melissa Masse dresses.  One of incredibly chic and one is incredibly cute!

6) NEIMAN’S: Um, as of now Neimans which just did a 40% OFF essentially everything a little over 2 weeks ago has nothing beyond getting 25% OFF if you buy 3 things (15% OFF is you buy one and 20% OFF if you buy two) from their “gift list” which happens to include clothing just no PLUS SIZE clothing.  Their site claims 4 days of surprises and this is just for today – hopefully they are holding out for Monday :(

So I checked out Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale and I’m afraid there isn’t much in terms of new markdowns for plus sizes :(

The only things that really caught my eye was this Eileen Fisher Plus Size Black Chiffon Overlay Jacket – Marked down by 40%:

Eileen Fisher Plus Size Black Chiffon Overlay Jacket (Was $198 - NOW: $117.90)

Along with this turnlock sweater coat from Michael Kors (25% OFF) – readers of this blog will know I’m not a big fan of the Kors’ Plus Size line but this sweater coat is a great classic basic:

If you must have either of the Tadashi Plus Size Black Dresses and Saks is Sold Out of Your Size – Neiman’s Does Have Them Marked Down As Well In Limited Sizes:

It’s Half-Yearly sale time at Nordstrom and a fair amount of Eileen Fisher plus size styles have just been marked down by 33%:

Just a reminder a lot of the Eileen Fisher styles at Nordstrom are available in more than one color – so if you like a certain style but don’t care for the color be sure to check if more colors are available.

Some of the new markdowns that come in more than one color is this Open Hemp Cardigan:

This Linen Jacket

The Eileen Fisher Plus Size “Cozy” Cardigan:

And this beaded organic linen tank:

If you missed the sale J. Jill had last week where you could take 20% OFF your entire order all is not lost as they are now offering 25% OFF all sale and clearance items which makes up a good portion of their site.  If you didn’t act last week I heartily suggest you get a move on as a few items I tried to buy last week were sold out by the time I was ready to check out :(

I bought a lot of pieces last week but I did manage to overlook this crinkle trench.  The plus size trench was originally $139 and it’s now marked down to $69.99 so with the additional 25% OFF you’re looking at a price of $52.49  a savings of over 62% OFF the original price!

So I got an e-mail from one of my favorite stores today (J. Jill): they told me the 20% coupon inside was for “my eyes only” but what kind of person whould I be if I didn’t share this coupon with my readers ;)

j jill plus size sale

Coupon Code: SUMMER

What makes this sale even better is that most of their Pure Jill line is already 15% OFF and some of their other full price styles are 25% OFF

One piece I am definitely going for is their asymetrical tee.  As a pear shape I am so sick of having to get a T-Shirt that is swimming on me on top in order to get it to fit my hips and conceal my belly.  It’s part of the Pure Jill Line so with the 15% OFF and the additional 20% it’s $37.40 instead of $55

and they are doing something I don’t recall them doing in the past: for the first day only they are offering 30% OFF items that are not part of the First Call Discounting, the items are only 30% OFF for the FIRST DAY ONLY so obviously those are the ones you need to jump on.

Some plus size styles that are only 30% OFF TODAY, May 13th include great styles from:

Caroline Rose Plus Size:

Eileen Fisher Plus Size:

Johnny Was Plus Size:

I’m also loving the easy style of this Melissa Masse dress that is only 30% OFF for today:

Along with this Gayla Bentley Tunic that is also only on sale today:

So get thee to Neimans, ladies! :)
