Glad i could help. I bought a 75/225 from ebay this morning. To my luck, the lady just sent me the code, so I should also be prepared just in case stacking happens Smilie

Yay! More coupons!

Watch out for that hour overlap or so! It said "hello" at review checkout, "applied" coupon and ate my coupon, but I was lucky enough to call it in. I'll be skipping that since I don't have any spare coupons to play around with. Good luck if you try for that hour overlap.

no. similar to the BF coupon booklet that was released prior to BF. it has 40/120 10/30 30/90 but it's all valid starting in march so it's moot for now anyway.

High Five Well done! Yes, it's a good jacket. The sleeves were still a little big on my arms, but it's hard to find something small enough for my twigs. Never was able to get the skirt in the matching color Frown , I have it in raspberry though Stick Out Tongue
  • ETA - I don't think so - it's not applying in cart at least... boo.
  • ETA 2- they have an essential button-down shirt, contrast easy tee and that raglan blouse a lot of you love in the matching "venetian teal" color. I see it's been reincarnated in-store at regular price now, so you can still get it.
  • ETA3 - I think "3 - piece suit" refers to when all 3 pieces are worn at once (like men's suits w/ vests).... photos please! Harhar laugh out loud

it seems a lot more fitted than the lace jacket. suit jackets aren't supposed to be form-fitting anyway, right? Stick Out Tongue i think the sleeves seem similar to the herringbone peplum one for me, which is fine for a suit. i had the jacket on for 15 seconds only tho. initial impressions were good! (it's prob my wider shoulders helping with this... they prob don't come down as far and thus feel more fitted) usually can't find stuff that fits my arms either...

you need teal herringbone skirt, or raspberry herringbone skirt? i think glendale had them both. let me know if you want me to grab it for you at any given time.

if you challenge nerdi enough, she can wear all those 3 pieces at once.

nerdi - i'm jealous! i think i've been seeing those before in the store but never even bothered to check the sizes, maybe because of the color. i'm probably bound to the idea of black, gray or brown suits.

nod i will! don't challenge me sista! Flex Ermm Scratchhead

i think i am too. i don't dress very businessy for work tho, so the color will be fine in my workplace. i would think it's less formal tho.

in fact i have to say i didn't think to order that jacket until porda mentioned it here. (thanks porda) on the clearance listing [express.com] the first review mentions that the sleeves are too tight for her. i always look for this in a review, bc that means they'll fit me!

i'll let you know if i see it pop up again. it's doubtful tho. i haven't seen any jackets at all in my stores - only lots and lots of pants. i'm still looking for herringbone in 2.

I ordered DS's cake today. I hope he loves it. bounce The cake flavor is strawberry shortcake & I got these http://www.amazon.com/Anthon-Berg...ith+liquor to decorate it with. I'm putting 21 on the cake. They're writing "21 Bottles for 21 Years! Happy Birthday, XXXXX"

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Agreed! My DH went down 2 sizes in pants there and he seemed pleased :co verlaf: He will be sad to hear he's now the victim of "Vanity Sizing" . :lma o: . I think it's the first time he's had 1% stretch in his jeans : P . Have you tried their dress shirts? The arms seem really long compared to DH's other shirts. He's a swimmer so he needs the L for the broad back , but the length on the arms is more than I've seen with his other shirts. Of course, he does have a habit of busting his elbow through the cotton/casual button-down shirts I've bought him :d oh:, so maybe he needs that kind of length.
I've bought DS a few of their dress shirts, but not DH. DS's were a S. DH put some L shirts in my wishlist. It sounds like I should get him M instead. Neither of my guys have ever gotten holes in the elbow of their shirts.

Quote from kurips :
some pics
the fit and flare dress - i added an off-center belt. i am unsure about it. i can't decide if i look like a little girl or a grandma in it.
the voluminous skirt - not bad with untucked shirt controlling it some.
the herringbone set - i used the same shirt, please excuse that :lo l: that is me on the way to an imaginary job interview.
The suit looks great on you!

Quote from nerdicus :
yay! glad you got to try these on finally! what size did you snag in the ivory cords? those have quickly become my favorite pants! (i just got the grey in 2 and :h eart: it - it's the right size for me knowing that the legs will stretch out)

sorry the denim ruched jacket didn't work out. i actually never tried it. glad the other jackets worked for you.

that peplum top is just stupid, imo. :l ol: it didn't work for me either. i was in between the sizes and without stretch, you can't really do much. you'll be fine as long as you get the tops with stretch. the other tops i've tried in store were not as stupid as that printed one (no wonder it was in clearance).
I got a 2 in the ivory pants. Let me know, if you see a 2 in the grey pop up.

I'm glad all the peplum tops aren't like that one. That one's cut crazy. Thanks for the tip on getting stretchy tops. There are a few I want. Hopefully, they all have stretch. I'll have to look to see.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Off topic here, but I wanted to ask you guys thoughts on groomsmen tuxedo rental stuff.

As you guys probably know, DBF has been suckered into being a GM at my friend's wedding, which he is still unhappy about. The "prices" came out for tuxedo rentals yesterday and he's been a sour puss ever since blaming me, etc...

Rental tuxedo is $150, not including taxes. He is saying that's the most he's ever had to pay for a rental for weddings. I think this would be the 4th or 5th he's standing up in for a guy he doesn't even really know. The first time he's doing it in CA, rest were in Midwest.

My understanding is that no budget was discussed and that number was just tossed out to him. I was telling him to tell the Groom that it's too expensive and they need to bring the price down because it's out of his budget (kind of like for the BMs and the stupid long time spent looking for a dumb dress).

Is that something he can do? Tell the Groom it's out of his budget? So they can find something more reasonable? My friend who is getting married is cheap, so I'm thinking that she doesn't care how much the guys pay because it's not out of her own pocket. The Groom isn't AS cheap as her, so maybe he doesn't care about cost? I'm understanding that from speaking to the Groom, he doesn't care about the wedding details and all the decisions are up to the Bride :dontk now:

I think DBF wouldn't care as much if it were his close friend, but because the Groom isn't, he's really flipping out. And it doesn't help that he actually bought a suit for a wedding for cheaper than the rental tux for this wedding. Le Sigh. I want to try to help alleviate that in some way or something...is there anything to be done?
It seems like DS is in a wedding a year, & the tux is always around that price. I'm surprised it isn't more in Cali. Your DBF should just tell them he can't afford it. It's not worth the two of you having problems over it. They'll need to know ASAP though.

Quote from kurips :
I like looking at blogs or YouTube for ideas on putting outfits together. With this much pieces we have, the possibilities should be endless! I think we should buy less and just be creative with what we already have. Should be fun! I know deal shopping is fun too, but I'm just trying to convince myself I don't need to shop :l ol:
I've been debating buying a top for Saturday. I couldn't find anything in my closet I want to wear under the black lace jacket. Facepalm It would be nice to have all the options some of you do.
