I have 3, but they were some bing deal. They are really warm. Not the cutest, but practical.

Quote from Cheapeats :
Girls I have a USPS issue that I need to know if it is normal or not.

Quite often now when my packages say "Out for Delivery" when I track them they don't actually get delivered until 1-4 days later. If I call them and ask what happened they usually chalk it up to the package being lost but sometime it will show up 3 weeks later.

Is it normal for things to go "Out for Delivery" and then stay stuck and not updated for days?
Parcels are supposed to be scanned "Arrival At Unit" the day the carrier is going to attempt delivery. (Arrival at Unit (on USPS end) = Out for Delivery (on our end)) However, all stations do not follow those rules. In addition, I am told it is easy to mis-scan because several hundred parcels can be scanned as Arrival at Unit before the scanner is cleared. If they hit the incorrect button, it is no way they are going to go back and re-scan those parcels. Not sure if that is what is happening in your case. All you can do is file a complaint. USPS "tracking" is much different than UPS. USPS Delivery Confirmation is not technically tracking...so they say. It definitely is not step-by-step tracking as UPS provides.

It's quite irritating because I can't even pick it up at the post office because they can never find it! I've filed complaints before and apparently my mail man gets asked about it and he has an attitude problem and also some memory issues since he always says he "delivered" the item but it still shows up 3 weeks later.

I guess I'll stop looking forward to deliveries since I never know when/if I'm going to get them.

i have a question.. sorry if its been already repeataed.. i bought stuff online on the first day of the sas (online one) and if im reading correctly, i can get PA's on the bras i already bought if the prices were reduced even more? i bought 2 showstopper bras and teh fireworks print bra (not sure if im keeping this one, i got it cuz i had hte matching underwear already O_O) thanks for any info
Yes, you can PA if they go down in price 3 weeks from the ship date. You could keep it for 3 weeks to see if the price goes down first then decide whether you still want them or not.

That's unusual. I usually get it the same day it's out for delivery.

Cute dresses!! I'm glad you found something you liked on Express and is decently priced!
lol well the girls still have to try it on and i have to see how they look in the pics- - we hired a $$$ photographer and i want the pics to be amazing. also, the dresses, if we use em, will need to be hemmed for a couple of the girls.. but i think even with alterations, it will be cheaper than other dresses out there! #fingers_toes_arms_knees_eyes_crossed!

they are expensive but will last you a long long time; better investment than rebuying a puffer every couple of years! check dept stores for late-season sales.

I posted from my phone a little while ago and don't see it, so sorry if this pops up elsewhere later on:

I'm looking for a nice, warm puffer or wool coat that will stand up to New England winters. Any suggestions? It doesn't have to be VS necessarily--just something good quality and cozy.

Please help! Thanks so much.
Land's End. I am ALWAYS cold and their down jackets are the only ones that keep me warm. They often have 30 or 40% off sale prices, so you can get them pretty cheap. Last year I scored a $150 coat for $40. I wasn't able to find anything of their quality cheaper. They have temp. rating too.

Quite a few to choose from: http://www.landsend.com/ix/outerw...ageSize=72

They should have money off sale soon, so if you can wait, it's better to do so.
If you don't want to wait, you can PA later. Their CS is great.

ETA: Wool coats are not warm enough for me. Neither are VS coats and I tried quite a few.

Hey everyone wave


Does anyone have this high-low cardigan? I'm wondering how the size and quality are.
i ordered it awhile back--i forget if i ordered xs or s, but it was huge on me and smelled super musty. i still think it's cute, but it didn't work for me. the quality is so-so, the material is kind of lightweight because i was expecting a heavy knit. the back is also quite a bit longer than the front.

it's happened to me before. the mailman forgets to deliver my package and usually comes back the next day with it-- or very rarely, the package gets lost and i never receive it. that just happened to me where a package was missing for ~3 weeks and vs just sent me a replacement since the "delivery status [did] not update[d]"

Quote from Taryn :

TNF is quite pricey, but the quality is fantastic and the coats are super warm. also--sometimes abercrombie and fitch has cute and warm puffer coats--and if you wait until end of season, you can score one for super cheap (<$60). this year, the styles aren't as appealing to me--especially since their moose logo is super blatant.

which express dress(es) are you looking at for bridesmaid dresses? hemming shouldn't be too expensive for a simple hem job :-) i had my prom dress hemmed for $10.
