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 Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.


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


Please PM everyone who was a part of the VS Social Thread to inform them of our new home.

I love it more than the VS now! You'll spend more $$! What dresses did you buy?

Kurpee's purple sheer shirt dress, and some other dress that's loose on top and tight mini on bottom. I am planning on wearing the shirt dress for engagement shoot. I liked a flowery dress too, but it was a tad on the short side. I would have been pulling out down constantly I think. I'll link when I get home.

I've gotten in 3 bras so far. My favorite is the Dream Angels Demi in Ivory Cross Dye Lace. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...earch=true It's beautiful & fits perfectly. Next would be the Very Sexy Push-Up in Soft Nude Crochet Lace. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...earch=true I was surprised that my cleavage was about the same as in the DA bra, which is a good thing to me. It doesn't fit or look quite as good though. I do really like it, so I'm going to keep it. The other bra is a Very Sexy Demi in Tropical Punch Crochet Lace. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...earch=true My boobs look squeezed in it. I really need a DDD in it, but they don't have tropical punch in that size. I'm on the fence on whether to go ahead & keep it or return it & get another DA Demi. I love the color, but I'm not sure I'd wear it much.

Thanks to all who helped with my new bra adventure. hug
The VS demi fit me the same way when I tried it on, I was too squished, but not the push up. I love the push up VS, although the DA's are my new everyday favorites! I plan to buy more once I see what my SRC are. nod

I love that purple one. I have to wait until I can get to the mall to try it on. I want it too!

I'm glad I'm not the only great aunt here. Big Grin I'm actually a great-great aunt though. EEK! That makes me sound so old. Great aunts are supposed to have gray hair & lots of wrinkles. laugh out loud I became a great aunt at 16, so I've always sounded old.



Congrats on a successful move. What part of Cali did you move to? I hope you love it there.
I will be a Great Great Aunt in July. Wow 16 and a Great Aunt.

nvm, I see where you are now. Nice area.

Quote from GoHeels :
I contacted VS about one of my missing SRCs. They're sending me an SRC via email. Has anyone else gotten one this way? I wasn't expecting that, but I'm glad I'm getting one.
I got one like that in last src time. You can use it online or print and use in the store.

i got the blue [express.com], not the purple - the one with the purple/blue print. i liked it better than the fuschia flower print, i think, but i only tried on the fuschia flowery one in S and apparently i am XS. it doesn't look as bright as online.

i also got this dress [express.com], also in xs. i liked how it fit and how comfy it was, and figured it'd be good for going out.

i tried this dress [express.com] on and it was horrible. no idea how the boob area is supposed to look. i think i'm in between S and XS and so it just didn't fit me right.

i totally forgot to look for this dress [express.com]! boooo. i could have used my 15 off 30 on that one.

i spent soooo much time in the dressing room trying to figure out the best combination of coupons to use. i couldn't figure it out, and i got frustrated with myself. i had a 15 off any purchase q but i ended up using it for 30 off 75 instead. i wanted to use it on a 19.90 top, but i couldn't figure out how to get my 2 dresses then. shake head i'm such an express noob!

oh, i also went to vs to get my free bra, and chose the angels demi in the ivory cross-dye lace [victoriassecret.com]. i tried the regular angels demi (new one) and it didn't fit right, but somehow the cross-dye lace one fit better, so i just got that one with my free coupon. at checkout, i swear, the guy scrutinized the coupon, then asked the manager, who said it was fine, but he wasn't satisfied with that and kinda mumbled that he'd have to call it in, and then asked another manager, who also said it was ok. only then did he scan the coupon. Confused shake head i didn't say a thing, because i knew that the fine print didn't exclude that bra. stupid cashier!!! it was a guy - and i've had lots of problems with that guy before. it's like he's there to stop all coupon use in that store or something, even tho they're allowed. he's ridiculous.

We must have the same taste. laugh out loud I'm going to buy more DA demi & VS push up bras with my SRCs too. That is, if they don't have a great code before then. I'll take more SRCs, if they want to give me a great deal. Teehee I love the purple Express dress too.

I'm with you on CCs. I finally decided not to apply for any more. My DH & I have been living a CC-less life for a few years now. The only way I can avoid running them up is not use them at all. I'm weak like that. Embarrassment

Congrats on the new addition. My parents had six girls. I'm the youngest. My older sister & her DD didn't waste any time getting started with their families. My niece had 2 kids, before my son was born. laugh out loud Her youngest has 2 boys now.

I hope the email SRCs have an equal chance of being more than $10. It's not like I ever get a big one anyway, but I can dream. Big Grin

I love that first dress. You all make me want to buy it too. It's been years since I bought anything from Express. Every time I consider placing an order I change my mind, because I don't feel comfortable that I'm getting the best deal. I really want that dress, so I need to educate myself on Express deal shopping too. .

That's my favorite bra I've ever ordered from VS. I'm sorry to see the other DA demis don't fit as well as the cross-dye bra. I was planning to order more of that bra. What was different about them? The cross-dye demi fits me perfectly too.

I actually cut up my Express card years ago because I would spend so much there. I usually cash and carry so I can keep track of my spending but I couldn't resist the Angel's card. Embarrassment After seeing the perks for it I have to have it. DH is okay with it too. laugh out loud

We do seem to have the same taste. I've got 4 SRC's right now and they just sent me my new Angels card with the little booklet full of offers that comes with. I'm trying to resist buying something but I can't!!!!!! Teehee

I need to stop shopping though. DH has been looking at bigger cars for the growing family, and I finally agreed. We may buy this summer very likely especially if we decide that we are going on a road trip. We have a hatchback currently which worked perfectly for when there was just 3 of us. Now with a baby, the stroller occupies a lot of trunk space. And my dad being here for a I-don't-know-how-long visit, we are at max person capacity.
