Love the bliss deal, ALVS! However, shipping is $10 Frown

I just for my secret Santa gift from vsshopper. Umm...can I just say holy cow?!? It was like getting a gift from someone who knew exactly what I like! I was so amazed and impressed an can't even tell you how awesome it was. I'm in the surgery waiting room (tooth) but will post pictures when I can.

What an amazing start to a terrible day! I rushed home to check my mail to give me something to think about during surgery Smilie

Thank you for your good timing and fantastic gift, vsshoper!
I even tried adding something to make the total $50 from the normal site. It still wouldn't give me free shipping. I don't really need it so I'm behaving, I think laugh out loud.

I returned something without the bag. Just show them the tag on the inside with the item number and it should be alright.
Quote from PordaPoddy :
Just to further confirm - I put my returns in any VS item bag they will fit in so that I can pair it with it's return form and tape it shut. If it's not the item's actual bag, I cross out the barcode so no one gets "scan happy" Haven't had a problem yet.
Quote from tarribear :
I have returned stuff by putting it in a ziplock back writing on the front- customer number, order number, item number, size and have no problem with the return.
Thanks girls! hug Great tips for DIY plastic bags. Now, I just need to get my returns together. I keep buying replacements, but not returning the original.

I hope your surgery goes well. hug

I do that too! I took 7 things to the store to return last time (3 were from 1 order) and the girl smiled at me and said "You didn't like any of the stuff you ordered?" and while she was trying to be nice I wanted to tell her to mind her business because I felt bad for returning the stuff but instead I admitted that their sizing and quality can be so weird that I 5 of the things had to be reordered in a different size and I just never sent back the originals.



Speaking of size and quality. I have a few more reviews to do!

Ruched Cardigan Body Tee
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper Ribbed and very stretchy. I had a $12.99 clearance code for the heather gray so I bought this with a SRC. Had to size up because they only had the bigger size left but it is still a cute, thin t-shirt cardi that I can spice up with accessories.


Wool Belted Moto Jacket
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper
The red is super bright and pretty, perfect for the holiday season but the coat isn't going to be warm enough to wear alone here (most wool coats aren't warm enough here though). The sizing might run a tad small, I sized up because I already know I am broader than VS thinks I should be.laugh out loud The size up fits fabulously. It is a really beautiful coat with a fabulous cut. The ruffle at the bottom goes all the way around but it doesn't flare out. The zipper is black so there is no strange contrast. It's also a sturdy stable zipper.

The wool is not great quality. It feels a little like cardboard but I don't think it looks like it feels. It might be the worst quality wool I own and I have like 20 wool coats (2 old VS ones that were better too). BUT the coat is so cute that if you can get it for a really low price and you only plan to wear it sparingly it is worth buying and will probably look beautiful in any color.

Also I didn't receive any SRC today so I'm not expecting any in the packages I should get Monday.

I have problems with their sizing & quality too. I wear from a M to an XL in their tops/sweaters. Confused They don't seem to take bust measurements into consideration when sizing many of their clothes. There would be a lot less returns, if the sizes were more consistent.

Thanks for the reviews. Smilie I considered getting that ruched cardigan too. I still may. My orders that arrived yesterday didn't have SRCs either. It looks like the party's over. Sadwalk

Why would the theaters stop showing Arthur Christmas 3D, before Christmas Eve? Annoyed We planned to go out to eat, then go to see this movie on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, it appears the two closest theaters to us stop showing it on the 19th. It looks like I'm going to have to find another theater or find something else to do. That means I'll have to cancel our dinner reservation & book something else too. You would think the Christmas movies would at least be showing through Christmas. Mad

Rant over. Thanks for reading. hug

Does anyone have any suggestions for fun things to do on Christmas Eve, now that I need a backup plan? I know that many things are location specific, but I was hoping someone would have suggestions for things to do that could be found in any city or things to do in the Tampa area specifically. We usually spend Christmas in NC, but aren't able to go this year. I want to have fun plans for Christmas day & Christmas Eve, so we won't miss going to NC.
