Is there anything I could wear under the Mesh Babydoll Tank Top http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...earch=true to make it less revealing? I'm thinking about ordering it with a mini skirt. I probably wouldn't wear it, if I can't do something to cover some cleavage though.

maybe something like this. i bought some today at nordstrom that were bras. they seem to be a little nicer and were only around $20 each.

Quote from GoHeels :
anni, I forgot. Doh Which inseam did you say I should order in the Eva Short? I want them to fully cover all pertinent parts, but not be long enough to make my legs look shorter. They need to do more than barely cover my cheeks. I'm 5' 1 1/2". Also, I'm between a 4 or 6 for most pants now. Should I order a 6?

....
i have long legs (5'6" and i don't have a long torso), and the 3 1/2 inseam covers my cheeks and more. most short shorts look ridiculous on me (waaay too short bc of my longer thighs) but the 3 1/2 inseam is perfect. i would recommend that one, but i'm not sure how much coverage you wanted. if you want to order 2, try the 2 shortest options (3.5 and 5"). but i think the 3.5" will be great! the 5" would probably hit me about mid-thigh, and may hit you lower than that bc again, most of my height is in my thighs.

you should order your smaller size, as i'm usually a 2 but sometimes a 4 and the 2 is pretty roomy for me.

Quote from GoHeels :
You & your beach loving DD should take off to the beach & leave them. : P
Clearwater is 45 minutes away so my DD and I have done that while DH worked. He was right across the street from the beach so when we were done we all went to have lunch.

Quote from GoHeels :
I'm too big of a chicken for HHN. It sounds like so much fun that I've been tempted to try it a few times. I seriously doubt I would stay though.
I love horror films so I enjoy it. I've yet to be scared. They have so many people to squeeze in DH and I always end up being behind the person who was scared. I love to go just to see the houses and themes. You just have to tell yourself it isn't real, there is no chain on that chainsaw the man is holding while chasing people in the scare zones.

Quote from GoHeels :
I've been considering buying that mini shirt forever. They no longer have the tunic I wanted with it, but I may order a different outfit. I wish I could still get the green leaves tunic somehow. I can't wear off the shoulder tops. They feel like they're falling down, so I constantly pull at them. : shake: What's your secret for wearing them comfortably.
I don't have one, they annoy the crap out of me sometimes. Coverlaugh

I like the minis but I don't know if they will looks as good on my body like my Express ones. I remember the tunic you wanted maybe it will come back in stock in your size. hug

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Some of my bras came from last weekend!
woot

Quote from ayoungpretender :
Nevermind, I just realized that is a different top. I got this one [victoriassecret.com].
Oh no, I love that top! I wanted to buy one of those when there was a sale. Frown

Quote from kurips :
for those who are looking for new hair toys, i recommend the bigger curling wands! i have this one [folica.com].

there are brands that offer sets that include interchangeable different sized barrels. i'd probably have gone for one of those for versatility if i didn't already own a herstyler.
I've been wanting one for a while now...Had my eye on the Sultra, actually bought it and returned cuz I couldn't justify spending that much at the time...this year's Sephora F&F is gonna be different, cuz I will have a job- and hopefully money! LMAO

I saw that and got excited! laugh out loud Need to find some time to go and swatch Smilie

I'm afraid I don't have it in me. Blush I've always been self conscience about showing cleavage for some reason. Dontknow I feel like everybody is looking at me. I hate it, when men hit on me. Showing cleavage doesn't help with that.

Thanks for the info. hug I'm going to try a size 4 in 3 1/2 inseam first.

Being able to meet your DH over there was perfect. Maybe he'll get to work in that area some this summer.

I don't watch most horror films. Some of them are stupid, but the more realistic ones are scary. I was terrified by the Wizard of Oz, when I was young. I'm a big chicken. I don't even sleep in the dark. Embarrassment

I'm wondering how flatter the minis would be too. It doesn't appear anyone has tried them yet, because I haven't seen any reviews. The babydoll top I linked looks like it may come down long enough to cover the stomach area, which is why I was considering ordering it with the skirt. I just hate paying full price for it.

Try S&K Menswear, if you have one. They have good quality for the price. There's usually a deal, but it's often BOGO. That may not help in your situation.

ETA: The place I'm thinking of may be Men's Warehouse now too. It used to be S&K, when we moved here, but it's MW now. Sorry Blush

I had forgotten about the Chanel sample. Obviously, I haven't gotten it.
