is it acceptable to see straps under this top [express.com]? it's lace at the sides too so an underlayer is needed. when i bought it, i thought a cami strap is ok, just not a bra strap and a cami strap. now i'm thinking i might need a tube top.

I would wear something with thick straps like this: http://www.thelimited.com/detail/...nk/4984173

Instead of a regular cami like this:

That is what I do with a shirt like that to avoid the double strap look. You could also wear a strapless under a thin strapped cami, but I hate wearing them unless I absolutely have to. I'd just wear a nude cami with a bit thicker straps under that top.

don't you think it looks better without any straps?

I think it would look better, but for me it would be enough to sacrifice the comfort of straps especially since you have an infant. When ds was that size it was functional clothing for me. Nothing to fuss over laugh out loud!

yeah, the pin is difficult but you can definitely make it stay with that teeny pin - it just requires some mastery. i'm still learning.
just tried the hot rollers again tonight. i left them in until they cooled. i have large waves now - lots of body but not a lot of curl. i like it! i guess my hair needs to be longer to get curls like that youtube tut. but it worked decently well - i actually think the jumbo is better for me than the super jumbo. but i need to use all of them just to get all my hair since i have so much hair. so i just do some sections on top with the super jumbo.

thanks for the sizing review! wonder if i should get xs then... i like that dress! may have to go to store.

i am wondering about the clips as well

:nod : yes the perfect cover clogged my pores. but a lot of ppl are fine with it so try it! my skin is very sensitive.

oOoo lucky! i haven't gotten any bzzz campaigns for awhile.

wait, so you got the one that's black with blue flowers? i must be boring - that was my favorite color combo when looking online.
I can't get a lot of curl with all large rollers. The curls I do have don't stay as long either. Everyone's hair is different, but I have to use smaller rollers on the top of my hair to achieve the amount of curl & body I want. When it's all rolled, I have two layers of rollers. The top is all small & medium. The bottom is larger rollers. I'm not saying the length of your hair isn't the problem. It may be. It's definitely not the problem for me though. My hair is just so straight that using all large rollers doesn't curl it enough.

click on the other color option [express.com] in the feather waves print. i got the boring black/cream. when i' tried it on again at home, it looked like something to wear to work, instead of somewhere fun.

i tried on the floral purple [express.com] first, it was the one i was first drawn to. then i thought it was too vibrant and dh said it looked too young. so i picked between the floral blue and the black. dh picked the black.
You should keep the black/cream dress for work & get the blue/purple feather dress for play. Teehee I think the black/cream dress is pretty. I just love the blue/purple combo.

Quote from kurips :
You convinced me :teehee : I'll definitely buy some. Will probably wait for your review.



i'm jealous!

now i'm hesitating to travel with a little one [yahoo.com]. we're planning to go back home next summer.
I read a bit of that article. IME, people are very understanding/sympathetic of little ones, if their ears hurt, they get nauseous, etc. It sounds like those kids were used to getting their way. Most people aren't accepting of kids throwing temper tantrums, & refusing to sit. It's obvious to everyone, if a child is never disciplined. I've never met anyone who was willing to deal with others undisciplined children. It sounds like your older DS is very well behaved, & the other is a baby. You shouldn't worry about flying with them at all.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
That's one sweet hubby you have there! : ) Having him shop is even better than shopping online, no shipping charges. ; )

I bought the clips and the jumbo curlers tonight. I had some Amazon credits to burn. I should get them within 3-5 business days so we'll both experiment and share notes. : )



I don't think the blue would be too young. :shake :

That black and cream is pretty too. I like the blue one because half my wardrobe it black and cream and it's such a pretty pattern and shade of blue. It looks perfect for here in Florida too. :nod :
I'm tempted to order the blue/purple feather dress too. It is perfect to wear here. Speaking of FL, where do you guys go for date nights? In case you didn't know, we're neighbors. Big Grin I'm always looking for suggestions on the best places to go around here.

I found this code SP1230745 for $10.00 off regular priced bras. It combines with SEXY. I haven't found one with $10 + free panty yet. If I do, I'll let you know.

I'm ordering a Very Sexi Demi in Tropical Punch Crochet Lace. I'm considering ordering the Very Sexy Multi-Way also, but the color I want is backordered. Is there a benefit to ordering it now that I'm not thinking of? I haven't learned to play the system like some of you have. Teehee

ETA: Use SP1229353 for $10 off + free cotton panty in the usual colors.

Depending on when it's backordered until, hopefully still in March, you may get an additional SRC!

BTW: I ordered that hot roller set you got. I hope it works nicely and comes out to the waves that anni was describing of hers. Pray
