The original post on Curvy Chick came from someone in Chicago who saw the jeans on sale at the Michigan Avenue store for $99. This is down from the original $209. There are however three catches:
1. The sale is only at the stores (Encore department). The jeans are still $209 online. However, the poster on Curvy Chick said she actually talked to online customer service and it will honor the store price.
2. The sale only applies to the Monarch style. The Mandeville Canyon (plain pockets) and the Las Palmas (light embroidery) styles are still full-fare.
3. The sale price varies. At my local Nordstrom, the sale price was $117.90. That's almost a 20 dollar difference.
I tried on the Monarch style and the fit on this is exactly the same as the Mandeville Canyon. In other words, if you're a misses size or if you're a plus with thin legs, it's your lucky day.
Update 10/30/07: The sale on the Monarchs extends to Nordstrom.com as well. Supposedly it's on sale because the zipper is too short, but I compared it with the Mandeville Canyon and the zippers are the same length. However, the label inside the Monarch misidentified the jeans as the Mandeville Canyon. This might be the reason for the sale. And I was able to get refunded the difference between the sale price at my local Nordstrom and the sale price at another Nordstrom in Chicago.
I decided to go ahead and buy the jeans and try to see if I can get the difference between this price and the one at the Chicago store refunded from Nordstrom. I'll keep you posted.
