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.

anni/GH - the front looks the same as a regular bra, just imagine the Goregous and the VS with the same front, sloped back straps. Works pretty nicely. Doesn't slip or anything!


How's the quality of the dress? I've been holding off on ordering because the one time I got a white dress this year, it was see-through. Do NOT what that happening again.
The quality is really great. It is a thick poplin-like fabric, much thicker than normal VS stuff, but it still feels light and it has a really soft, almost velvety texture. I really love this dress. I don't think the white would be see-through if they're still using the same fabric.

Wow! Sounds really nice actually. I may even end up getting the black! I have both on my wishlist and waiting for a clothing code! laugh out loud

I have one of their Poplin dresses from 2 years ago, semi-similar style and I love it! I can't wait to get my hands on it!

I'd love to, but I need to get as much time to study for my test. I'm even whining about the 15 minute one-way drive to West Co to get it shake head I hope you like it - I really like the Mimosa one!

i need to model the express clothes too to discourage yall from buying. i'll oppose alvs's effect Evillaugh
i don't think i've seen that blue dress in the store... if i buy without trying... i think i can get a 2, since its not tightly-fitted.

this morning dh told me, in reference to my outfit is "you look sexy". based on his personality, i had to ask him, if he was complimenting me, or saying that i look inappropriate for work. he said both laugh out loud i didn't have time to change though, i thought i was decent.

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.
Congrats on your weight loss! I must of missed out on that convo. How did you do it? Any special diet or just exercise?

Quote from GoHeels :
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.
Good to know. I might give them a try. The shorts at Express look a little too short for me. But I haven't tried them either.

The summer before I had my daughter is the last time I wore one. I didn't gain much weight after her but I had horrible stretch marks, since then I have gained more weight but my weight isn't my issue. Even if I had a rock hard body if I could see the stretch marks I probably still wouldn't put one on.

Quote from GoHeels :
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:
I think hats are the only thing these ladies will not talk me into. Nono2 I look terrible in hats.

Quote from GoHeels :
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.
Beautiful dress! Looks perfect for an October cruise. Where are you cruising too?

So did you get any promotions, raises, or taken to lunch today? laugh out loud Wink

similar to this [express.com] white top burn-out, black skirt. the shirt is sleeveless, but i have thin long-sleeved black boyfriend cardigan on unbuttoned. they are both from express. his concern was probably the skirt being fitted and above the knee (it's just right above), and also the top is loose, and may show stuff when i bend over. he told me to hold my neckline if i'm bending over. i said i'm not bending over. he said i may need to pick up chalk from the floor. that was our conversation in the car laugh out loud
