Plus Size Anna Scholz

A few weeks ago Saks marked down a lot of great fall items and a few days ago Saks was offering an additional 25% OFF already reduced prices as of today Saks is offering an online “Sneak Peak” (the sale starts in stores tomorrow) of select items that have been marked down 30-40% OFF.

I have to highlight my most coveted piece of the season: the Eileen Fisher Black Satin Shawl Collar Coat which is marked down by 30% ($362.60):

Another Eileen Fisher Plus Size style I’m fond of (although a reviewer on the Saks’ site disagrees with me) is the One-button Merino Wool in the color Roseberry – it too is marked down by 30% ($159.60):

Also coming in at 30% OFF are some Anna Scholz Dresses and Anna Scholz Tops:

If Zenobia is usually out of your price range now is a great time to snag some beautifully made pieces as most Z from Zenobia styles are at the 40% OFF level including another one of my favorites of the season: the Z from Zenobia button down wool dress – even at 40% OFF ($598.80) it isn’t exactly inexpensive but this dress will never really go out of style and can accessorized a thousand ways to Sunday and aren’t those the types of pieces one should invest in?

Another brand whose full retail price may be a bit too much to justify for some is Stizzoli and like Zenobia it too is 40% OFF:

Also in the 40% OFF Range are great Lafayette 148 Plus Size styles that have not been marked down before now including yet another seasonal favorite of mine: the fur trimmed cardigan (now $286.80):

Other great Lafayette 148 Plus Size Styles – just marked down:

Based on the normal retail price I was a bit surprised to see Elie Tahari Plus Size styles marked down 40% OFF (I thought it would only be 30% OFF) but who am I to argue? A few Elie Tahari pieces were marked down two weeks ago but there are a few new styles just marked down for the sale:

I think the current sale most benefits those seeking out an evening dress as very Tadashi and David Meister Plus Size remain marked down on the Saks’ website – so if you’ll be in need of a dress for the upcoming holiday season now is probably a great time to buy.

Tadashi Plus Size:

David Meister Plus Size:

Happy Shopping!

The day you’ve all been waiting for! Okay maybe not “all” of you but when Neiman’s does its finally markdown to 65% off it is cause for celebration!

A sampling of the plus size styles that were marked down to 65% OFF:

Melissa Masse:

Not all of the Caroline Rose Plus Size has been marked down more but some styles have:

The largest selection of sizes and styles marked down to 65% OFF is Johnny Was Plus Size:

Last but not least there is Eileen Fisher. A LOT of Eileen Fisher styles sold out when they were originally marked down 30-50% OFF but there is still a good selection of Eileen Fisher Plus Size styles marked down to 65% OFF:

*** I would like to stress: the Alpaca Moon Cardigan (above, far right) is pictured on the Neiman Marcus site as a sleeveless cardigan but please note the plus size version comes with 3/4 Sleeves.

There are some great new plus size markdowns at Saks most of the markdowns are deeper markdowns for items that were already on sale but there a few new plus size styles in the markdown mix.  The markdown is around 50% OFF (Click Any Image To View Or Buy):

As for the discount increases . . . the remaining Anna Scholz styles are now 55% OFF:

And Finally (whew!) if you’ve got cashmere on your mind – there is Saks’ Private Label Collection (also 70% OFF):

Saks Plus Size Cashmere Cardigan Embellished Plus Size Cashmere Sweater

As Online Neiman Marcus shoppers know: Neiman’s usually starts their discounts at 35% OFF (sometimes 25% OFF) and then the next increase is 50% OFF.   There are no new brand new markdowns but there are plenty of styles that have jumped to the 50% OFF Mark.

I’m most excited about the Carmen Marc Valvo Plus Size styles because Carmen Marc Valvo plus size is very hard to get online:

And of course, Eileen Fisher:

I always thought that Europe and UK were much better at serving the high end plus size customer but that opinion definitely took a ding upon learning that Selfridges recently stopped carrying plus sizes.

For those of you who do not know: Selfridges and Harrod’s are the  Saks 5th Avenue and Neiman Marcus of the UK and about 2 weeks ago they quietly stopped carrying plus sizes and it is just now being reported on as people have caught on to what is happening.

It’s always so much fun to hear the various excuses given for dropping plus sizes or cutting down on the floor space devoted to plus size apparel.

According to what one Size 22 customer was told: “they want to change their image”.

Okay, that’s INSANE.  Do you know any stylish woman (with the possible exception of Anna Wintour) who would deem a department store unfit for their upscale tastes simply because they carried plus sizes?  Do you know any woman who wouldn’t buy a certain label because the label also had a plus size line?  NONSENSE.

I find this especially puzzling due to the recent success of Anna Scholz – you don’t get more “hip” than Anna Scholz and while Scholz herself is German she is based out of the UK!

My fondest desire (which will NEVER HAPPEN) is that every department store manager and buyer be limited for one year to only buying designers that also have a plus size line AND they can only purchase those designers in stores that actually carry the plus size line.  Then maybe, just maybe they’d have a clue as to how difficult it is for the plus size shopper.

Almost 2 weeks ago Saks marked down a lot of Marina Rinaldi, Stizzoli and Melissa Masse (among others) by 40% but the prices on their Anna Scholz, Tadashi and most of their David Meister plus size styles remained unchanged until today.  (CLICK ANY IMAGE TO VIEW OR BUY)

I wanted to push this post I originally did back in September back up to the top of the site since it’s now been marked down by 40% at LaGrandeDame.

This silk kaftan top from Anna Scholz is the one:

Oh, my goodness.  My eyes almost fell out of my head when I saw this one.   Done in a beautiful black and pink floral print with a tasteful embellished neckline this top is enough to make even the most conservative dressers out there want to get funky and fabulous!

And where, where, pray tell can you buy this beauty:  Neiman’s?  NO.  Saks?  Nope, try again.   Okay, okay it’s  La Grande Dame

Teased hair and smoky, smoky eyes: optional :)
