Anyway, glad I could help. Between WHBM and Cole Haan, I'm over my fashion budget, but I haven't bought that many things that I love this much so it's totally worth it
Your "dresses" typo is so spot on Shopping is such a stressor! I'm supposed to be paring down but those were too classic to pass up
Welcome back from the bat cave
Your comments on the WHBM dresses are making me consider them again when it's on sale!
Do the instant slimming ones have a lot of fabric to hold everything in?
On average, about how much did it come out to per piece?
IMO, it depends on how tight you wear it. I bought both 0 and 2 and like the others said - could wear either, just for a different look/purpose. I have enough "going out" dresses so I think I'll be keeping the larger size. If you go for the smaller size, you definitely feel the "slimming" of it- not uncomfortable though, but yes, I can tell there's a bit of fabric working hard mostly on my but it seems The larger size I can barely feel it, but like the extra lining. I would not wear these on a hot CA day... except maybe the cheap black and white ruched floral... that one was way thinner than the others. I think if you get a pattern, slimming is probably not that big a deal since they hide so much.
Pricing is around $30 - 35/each. The black and white floral was low $20s, the striped ercru was mid $30s and polka dot was high $30s

My poor BMW is traumatized.

Funny enough, it's in that photo you posted earlier that I reposted below If you look at the center of the hubcap, the lug nuts hold the bolts on. The bolts/lugnut combo holds the wheel and it's hubcap to the axel of the car. If people want to change a tire or steel your "wheels", they would prop up your car with a jack and take those nuts and then slide it off the bolts. If you have a locking lug nut on each wheel, there is a special "key" that they would need to put on the end of their torque wrench to get that 1 bolt off. That does make me wonder if some stupid person tried to steal SH's wheels and they didn't notice the locking lugnut until they got to it
One time when I was in college I wrecked a rental car. I was driving it because I had wrecked my car .
Neither were my fault thank goodness but I was very traumatized.
I called my dad hysterically crying. I'd been hit twice in two weeks.

Yeah, sweater dresses are difficult sometimes, but can be so cute and cozy when worn right. I usually do tights. Helps hide any lines and helps when gorging on food!
I haven't really found anything at Express aside from sweaters for a while now. It's probably better this way. Waiting for Columnist to go BOGO.
Stealing wheels are a scary thing. I initially thought wheel locks would replace ALL lug nuts and I was surprised it's the only one. What if something like SH happened to me! Yikes! Good thing I've decided against any after market anythings since my car accident. Not worth it to fix up a car already in an accident.
Good luck on the cookies!
I'm sick right now, and so is the baby, DH is coming down with the cold, and it's scary how easy it is to get sick with a regular cold..

I was stopped at a light and got rear ended. My car was practically new too. I think I'd had it 2 months. Then when in the rental someone changed lanes on me. It was like slow motion but it couldn't do anything because of traffic.
Azn, this is really good pricing for the WHBM dresses. I've been following them for a while, and they never get this low and usually sell out before they get marked down this many times. I bought that black/white stripe dress for $80 right after Christmas (I had some sort of 25% off coupon as well). My stores are completely out of the ones that are less than $60. They all fit me mostly the same. Try some on in the store to get a feel for sizing. I made black book when I bought an expensive bridesmaid dress but later returned it. They never took away my black book membership, which gives me an extra 5% off and free shipping on anything. Later, I rebought the dress for half off. WHBM restockes sizes daily in the morning, so that's your best chance. I'll keep posting deals here, but I doubt the dresses get this cheap again for a while.

it's also good to note that their instant slimming line sizing runs very different from their regular line. regular runs large (and isn't great for my body type - it's smaller up top than everywhere else while i generally need larger up top) while instant slimming runs small.
