New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

That's interesting. VS usually has good customer service. Thought they would've allowed that
Really? I thought VS has terrible CS. I've argued with them sooooooooo many times and they've refused to give me refunds before. And made fun of me for calling in about refunding the difference between what I paid and what I was refunded. This was back when we still had to mail in our returns ourselves! I hate talking to their CS!

I've asked VS to cancel an order in the past and they just said there's nothing they can do once it hits "Processed" While it's "In Process" (< 5min~) they can add codes, but that's it.

Ohhh noooo. Mad How could they treat VIP like that? hug Did you use their return labels? I've always returned stuffs without their labels to avoid the hassle and get the exact amount back.

I paid my own, but when I have big huge boxes, it was worth it. That and many-a-other things is why I've stopped shopping VS so much. They just don't give a crap. I only really shop there now during SRC season or if something I know will go OOS nod

I placed two glitch orders. One worked, one didn't.

After 40 minutes on the phone, I got a supervisor to apply the coupon on my second order, since it worked on the first and they were placed literally about 30 seconds apart. I used rewards on both. I'm so glad that I didn't lose my reward. The first lady I talked to said I had lost my reward...

Phew...I'm glad that worked out. That was certainly a close call...

I'm not sure how much I'm going to toy with this overlap anymore after that experience...

I like her hair! I'm tempted to cut my hair shorter again, but I'll miss curling it. I don't do it often, but I like having that option.
It's quite cute. Did you read her post about how wearing clothes with colors from a crayon box get the most compliments, but they're all from kids? That also reminded me of you laugh out loud
Quote from nerdicus :
it seems a lot more fitted than the lace jacket. suit jackets aren't supposed to be form-fitting anyway, right? 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.

Rofl2 i will do that later - pics to come.
I got the lace jacket too. I'd possibly wear that more, but the lapel on mine was folded wrong so I'll have to try to iron it if I want to keep it. I'm realizing I like the jackets that overlap in the front more and that those tend to have 2 buttons (like the teal herringbone one). I don't think I like the look of my shirt peaking out from the bottom of the jacket. True- they're not supposed to be form fitting. I need the teal herringbone skirt, what size did they have? That is very sweet of you to offer Blowkiss

....and how is that photo of you in your skant suit coming along? We're waiting! bounce

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-Liquor-Chocolate-Bottles/dp/B009LDMNT8/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1360717451&sr=8-11&keywords=chocolate+with+liquor to decorate it with. I'm putting 21 on the cake. They're writing "21 Bottles for 21 Years! Happy Birthday, XXXXX"

That sounds perfect!
Quote from anastaciab :
yes, you have to have the gel color. Sorry work got crazy i had to get offline
Thanks, and no worries. I bought it Whee Someone linked to an Amazon review about how you could still use your old polish in b/w the layers and how to do decals (I have a stamping set)... but I'd probably buy a few staple gel colors for the best outcome. I never paint my fingernails EVER, so I'm excited about this option bounce

Quote from azn1x6flame :

That's so strange about dress shirts Dontknow Guess Porda has a superman DH and my DBF and his coworkers bust their elbows on their shirts on a constant basis. He says he's seen guys at work with holes in their elbows all the time. At least once a week Guess it's a running joke at his office about making elbow busting comments to the one another in passing.
. . .
laugh out loud Now I feel bad for my DH. At one point he was busting so many of them, I threatened todo this to his shirts [french-shirts.com] . I didn't know it was such a common problem!

good thing I got the teal herringbone skirt in a 2 and pants in 0. The other way around probably wouldn't fit.

I tuck in my shirt when wearing those jackets so it doesn't peek out.

Tried corset skirt in black, 0. It's hot, but I could barely breathe. I think it looks better... But I better stick to the 2 in that one. laugh out loud the welt pocket in 0 was perfect tho. I'm keeping it in green!

I'll check if they have your skirt in 0 or 2 next time I'm there. I got it in 2 there.. They must not have had 0 bc I would have grabbed it.

Teehee And I'm thinking I should have done the sizing the other way and then had the pants taken in at the legs, but I guess trying to achieve the perfect fit is a lot to ask of the cheap tailors I've used. Guess I'll just avoid gassy mexican food and beers when wearing those pants Eat

heart that corset skirt! Did you get it in tweed too? Like Alvs, I'm returning the lighter color. That welt one seems like another winner for skirts.

Thanks for checking!
