That looks amazing on you. It looked awful on my sloppy, all-fat boobies.

OMG - supposedly that procedure was supposed to be way easier than the colposcopy and biopsies. I feel miserable now. Hot flashes, clammy, lightheaded - UGH! I guess taking liquid nitrogen to an internal organ is more traumatizing than punching holes in it. WTF.
That sounds awful. I hope you're feeling better today. hug

Quote from annicus :
and wow, you fit my size! i generally like to get my shorts bigger so that they sag a bit. the 2's sort of do that for me, tho i tried them on a couple of nights ago and they fit perfect. did you lose more weight? : woot:
I don't weigh myself, so I don't know if I've lost more weight or not. Around the house I wear all sweats & lounge pants w/ drawstrings, which are pretty much one size fits all. Stick Out Tongue I haven't been out to wear regular clothes lately. I'm still trying to lose, so it's possible.

My DH was making fun of how baggy the shorts were. To make his point he tugged on the legs a couple times & they came off still zipped & buttoned with both buttons. laugh out loud Maybe this particular pair was just cut big. Dontknow I'll try the others on, when I get them.

Quote from annicus :
gc's or src's? the amt should go back to the gc/src either way, but if it's an src then it'll expire this month so it'll depend on how long it takes them to do that and if they try to put the amt back on a src after-the-fact, you'll lose the amt.
That particular order had 2 GCs & an SRC applied. It hadn't occurred to me to not use SRCs on back ordered items. I'll have to check to see if I've done that. It seems like half the site is on b/o, so it wouldn't be surprising. Thanks for the tip. I definitely won't do that now.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I'm not sure if they would change the size of you call. Never done that.


I would probably just cancel the bo and reorder when there is another good code.
Thanks for the advice. I'll go ahead & cancel, then reorder. We definitely need some codes.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Sorry they didn't work out size wise, how did they work out length wise? I am looking for the same thing you are in shorts so I was waiting to hear if your found them long enough without being too long. :confused :
The length was good for me. I could have used some a bit longer, but the 5 1/2" inseam would have been too long. I'm happy with the length, when I get the size right.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
I wasn't in bikini shape before I had the baby : ( Definitely nowhere near it now, and i have SO SO SO many stretch marks, it's gross. I think a tankini may be the closest I ever get to a bikini again, and even that (at best) will probably be next summer.

Oh - DD slept EIGHT AND A HALF HOURS!!!!! Then I had to wake her up to get her ready for daycare! I REALLLLLLLLLLLLY hope she sleeps like this tonight because I need some rest. She will not sleep more than 4 hours in her crib, but if I put her in her bouncy chair, she is zonked out now for 7 - 8 hours. Hooray!

So, I have been being pretty cranky and bitchy to DH lately. Last night after snapping at him for something completely stupid, I felt so bad. About 30 minutes later I apologized to him for being such a bitch, and he said "it's OK honey. I know you have a lot going on." If he AGREED with me, I must really be being terrible! Normally he would have said, "no, you aren't being that bad..." or "you're fine sweetheart. You're not a bitch." But nooooo, he AGREED with me. Not sure if it is being tired, the birth control or what, but I need to check myself I guess : ( :sadwalk :
I'm destined to a life in tankinis too. laugh out loud The only time I wore a bikini was when I was young & had a rock hard body. At that time, I was doing 75 sit-ups a day, along with other exercise. I don't think bikinis are for everyone. I've seen a lot of women who probably should have been in a tankini or one piece that had on a bikini. It's not a good look, but whatever makes them happy. I kind of admire people who don't care what people think about the way they look. I have a sister that won't wear a bathing suit of any kind. She loves the beach, but always wears shorts & shirt. I've told her many times that there's always someone at the beach or water park that's bigger than her. They don't care. She shouldn't either.

Good for your baby girl. A good nights sleep is priceless.

Don't beat yourself up too bad. You've been through a lot lately. Stress makes us ill. I'm sure your DH knows that. Things will get better soon.

all this talk of big floppy hats - i think i want one for my engagement shoot. where do i go find one for an extremely large head? (for reference, the one that vs gave away last year as a gwp didn't fit my head - it was way too small)
They're making me want to buy one too & I don't wear hats. I haven't worn one since my softball days, & I hated them then. I'm seriously considering ordering one of the floppy hats to see if I'd wear it though. Teehee

That VS hat didn't fit me either. All of Bebe's hats fit me! So go try those in store! I really don't know where else to get floppy hats. Try Target? I got one there a long time ago.

I've been considering that dress in the mauve rose metallic lace. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper I thought it would be good for my October cruise. How does the sizing run on this one? I never know what size to order. It would be nice if I guessed right for a change. shake head Also, what bra do you wear with both of those dresses? I may need to order yet another bra. Facepalm

I was not paying attention when you all were discussing that VS was not responding to your emails. By the time I did realize that they had not replied to my PA email, the items were no longer on sale. We kept going back and forth via email because they were denying my PA, but today I received an email that they are going to honor it. FINALLY!!!

Am I the only one with a ton of merchandise in the VS Shopping Bag?

I didn't think the blue dress looked that good when someone originally linked to it, but now that I see it on you, I think it looks great !!

I might even buy it! (and I don't ever wear dresses)

This one, I would wear with a backless bra, or the ones that wrap around. I'm gonna get this in black to make it a nighttime dress or something. Like the Goregous would be a good example or the Very Sexy strapless. I have another Very Sexy one from long ago that I'd probably wear with this!

This one, I would wear with regular strapless bra or my biofit 7 way that has the straps that go in the front.

It took them almost a week but they did respond. Next time I'll just make a new email and send it like that.

It's so cute. I bought the red too. I decided to just keep the blue print though.

for the strappy back dress i would do stickies. i realize that's not really an option for many of you large-chested ladies tho. maybe one of those nu-bras? but the gorgeous should work too, since it's a low-back convertible.

ALVS, you look fantastic as always!

I went to express during my lunch to try on dresses. I don't really wear express clothes, so I'm glad I tried on the dresses before ordering. I really loved that blueflowered dress [express.com] that you have on in your picture. It fit in a size 2 but was just so sort...and the 4 looked weird. I'm trying to decide if I would actually wear it. It was so cute but just so short (I'm 5'8").

However, I'm obsessed with this dress [express.com] and seriously want it in every color so I can wear it every day. So pretty. So comfy.

Alvs, did you order the pink/orange flowered dress inthe same size you ordered that blue flowered dress? Should I size up? My express didn't have that pink/orange dress, but I love it and definitely want to order it!

Too funny. I was thinking the same thing. I don't really like it online, but it looks really great on alvs. Her pic makes me want one too. I liked the brighter one from the beginning. Now, I really want it. Their clothes look better on alvs than they do on their models. They may want to look for new models. laugh out loud

Thanks ladies. hug I don't think I've even noticed a backless bra. How does that work? Scratchchin I'll look for one of those & the Gorgeous bra on the site. I have a Very Sexy multi-way on the way. Hopefully, it will work for one of them. I also have a Biofit 7 way, but it's a bright pink. I'd have to make sure it wouldn't show at all. Unfortunately, pasties wouldn't work for me. It wouldn't be pretty. EEK!
