These take longer. I had the same happen about a month ago, I was getting nervous too. It took about 3 or 4 days longer.

I think I'll have to wait for a slick deal to come along on them before I give them a try. I'm just too cheap to pay full price for them. Blush2

I'm surprised they don't. You'd think with bright colors being the trend they would. I wish they had color options in short sizes, cause I'm a shortie. Teehee

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. : O After seeing the perks for it I have to have it. DH is okay with it too. :lol :

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 can totally understand you getting a VS card. I've thought about it myself, when I see the great deals the girls on here get. It's a bummer not to have one, when there's CC only deals. So far, I've resisted, but it's not easy. VS CC's have great perks for frequent shoppers.

We should put Express in the wiki :lol :
I agree! bounce

Quote from kurips :
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.
I bought a mini van to drive my DS & his friends around, when he was young. Since then, I've never looked back. For years, I said I would never drive a van. Now, I can't imagine buying anything else.

Quote from kurips :
I also want new furniture :coverlaf :

the dresses no longer show 30% off in the cart.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I need to finish decorating parts of this house and I want to redecorate what I have already decorated. I drive dh crazy sometimes. I want a new car too!
We all need a money tree. Stick Out Tongue Our house needs work too. We're redoing the floors now. Painting is next, but there's still much more I want to do. Our house is about 20 years old. At that point, they need a lot of freshening up & modernizing.

I don't even like to think about cars. Our DS totaled his vehicle on Thurs. This was the 2nd one in less than a year. shake head We didn't buy him a new car, so we had paid cash for it. I was really upset, when my DH said we only had insurance to cover the other car. I had no idea he'd made such a dumb decision. He said the insurance on DS was so high he was willing to take a chance. Annoyed Now, we're going to have to buy another car & get nothing out of the one he wrecked. Mad I'm not real happy with either of my guys, at the moment.

I do stalk their site :woo t:!


I'm taking an express break until clearance goes an additional % off!

Ship50- free shipping on $50 at VS
Thanks. Here's hoping they'll give us a bra code to combine with this.

Quote from annicus :
backstory: aya turned me onto the old angels demi, and they changed my life. they were the first bra that didn't strangle me by the end of the day. i'm sort of in-between band sizes (i think i am a 33) so for the angels demi, i started sizing down (32c instead of 34b) and it made all the difference.
the new angels demi has slightly thicker padding (but supposedly softer - i'm not sure if this is true). but what didn't work for me was that on the new one, the cups seems a bit closer together on the 32c. my girls are a bit far apart, so when the cups are closer together i tend to get spillage on the side. i get this with the new one but not with the old one. the cross dye lace one, however, is somehow built to be a bit wider, so i didn't get any of that spillage. it's still a bit thicker than the old, so i get a bit more push up.

thanks!

like i said above, it's a bit thicker still, but the cups fit me better than the other ones. i tried on a different lace one, similar to this [victoriassecret.com] i think (it was 59.50 in store - i can't seem to find which one it was - black lace with metallic stuff on it?) and it did not fit well at all. the cups were way too small. so i'm not sure if it was a fluke that the ivory cross dye one fit me well. hopefully not!
and yeah, that guy always wants to reject my coupons. it was a little comical actually that he tried so hard to reject my bra perk but then multiple people said that it was okay. :rolleyes :
Thanks for the explanation. Have you tried a Very Sexy demi? It kind of sounds like the cups run similar. Would you recommend going up a cup size? I can't really play with the band size. Going up a size is too big, & going down would be too small. A 34 band fits me perfectly. Unfortunately, going up a cup size really limits my options.

I was planning to order the purple w/ black lace bra you linked. I wonder how close it is to the one you tried on. It sounds like I'd need a bigger cup in that too. Sadwalk

That's a ridiculously long time. I'd be concerned that something had happened to my package causing the delay.

I received 6 VS packages today. 5 of them had SRCs. 4 packages only contained b/o panties, & 3 of them had an SRC. I'm surprised & thrilled to have gotten them with b/o freebies. It still seems totally random on whether they add one or not. It could come down to how lazy a particular employee is. Dontknow

i'm short too :highfive :
I posted, before I saw your post. I'm excited to get surprise SRCs too. woot Two of my packages last week should have had one, but didn't. They really need to get their act together. I'm definitely not complaining though. They already sent me an email SRC, so I ended up coming out ahead anyway.

Didn't you both say you are 5' 3"? That's tall compared to me. Stick Out Tongue

My last packages at Express didn't have any coupons. I am thinking I'd be mad if they would stop sending them out because I have fs now.
Agreed! You got to know how to shop express!

They come around. I bought some at neimans in January for around $90 each. Not super cheap, but they last longer from my experience.
