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.

Aww! This is exactly what I am looking for. I think the best connections are formed when two people can enjoy low-key or even "mundane" things together.

I only ordered clearance stuff tonight.

I want to go in store to try the dresses/skirts. I wish coupons could be used on clearance. I kept trying different codes with the hope that one might work. Frown

About a month ago my RC was working on clearance. But nothing on clearance I wanted to buy. Now it looks like it got fixed because the same RC no longer works on clearance!

I've ordered clearance items too for the bonus points so far.

Does she have any weird birthmarks or something Stick Out Tongue?

That is weird. How did you get dragged into this wedding from hell?
. . . .
I know what you're aiming for- an example I can give so she'd understand how it feels bulb , but I don't want to go that low... because it would be that she has features of a Troll. Don't get me wrong, I would love to throw that out there Ok
Remember the room fiasco? Where they wanted me to share a bed with a groomsman's wife and 2 year old while both sides of the bridal party shared a room? This is that wedding- so I'm the backup after the first one fled.

Quote from longislandgirl :

Porda, I am sure you have your own way to teach that bride some lesson if not now, may be later Wink
Good luck with your tests and happy travels to India if I miss you before you go! :sail:
The cheapest baby stuff I've found is from Children's Place clearance sales and like Anni said- Target Clearance
I'm definitely thinking about lightening my hair come wedding time now... Big Grin
Quote from annicus :
. . .
yeah, you know, b*tches tend to have a hard time getting along with girls...
. . .
i would NOT want a big group of pissed off bridesmaids - sure, you can control their clothes and shoes (and it looks like she's controlling hair too!), but you CANNOT control their faces and more importantly, their expressions. i went into it knowing that i wanted happy bridesmaids - 1 is a generally happy person who doesn't care about anything, but i decided on a tank dress for her (i chose it so she can hopefully wear her nursing bra - it'll be about 6 months by then so i don't know if she'll still be nursing but i thought i'd be nice just in case) . . . . she said she'd wear anything. but at the end of the day, i'd rather she be comfortable because she will be happier that way, and generally unhappiness shows through in photos.
your bride's photos are going to SUCK, because half of you are so unhappy in your jobs! i'll bet she never thought about that!
. . .
when is this disaster happening? august or sept?

maybe she can be your replacement, or maybe she turned down the job! laugh out loud
. .
:nod :Yes, we (me and another BM) were exactly discussing that today... the pictures, and how we could convince her that if she's a better bride, she'll get better BMs. It happens in late August. The groom has been asking the co-worker BM if we're looking at including his sister in the bachy party... that tells me his mom has been asking him... OMG
Quote from GoHeels :
Let's hope the groom's sister had a reason to politely decline the invitation. If not, the groom should have insisted she was in the wedding. If the bride didn't at least ask, she lost any hope of a good relationship with her future MIL. Although, if she acts like this all the time, there probably isn't any hope of that anyway.

. . .
Yep. It's a bridge she'll wish she hadn't burned. Right now I'm going to pretend the sister has joined the PeaceCorps and ships out the week before the wedding because that's just too big of an oversight for it to not be intentional. My theory is that it's a tit-for-tat. Her brother is not in it, so his sister can't be. :facepalm1:
Quote from Tizzylicious :
...
These ladies sound Crazy I don't know how you put up with them. I think I would show up platinum blonde that day wearing these [heels.com] They can double as a weapon if she gives you any lip!
. . .
I feel like I can be more frank with her b/c I don't have much to lose... she's only a friend by association Dontknow and laugh out loud I like those shoes and I wouldn't want any studs to come off!

Sorry I don't know. I don't usually use them. I can send it to you and if you have a need for it use, if not I wasn't going to use it anyway. Wink
Thanks hon! i'm sure i'll find some use for it seeing as how i'm currently sorting out my invitation stuffs!
Quote from Cheapeats :
I don't know if anyone with a nail polish addiction is around right now but Good Morning America has a Deborah Lippman deal going and it's today only so it might end at midnight.

There's only 6 polishes being offered. The prices are $6.40 - $8 and the shipping is a flat $8.50 Click the link and enter promo code GMA

wow thanks! i really like their nail polish. too bad there's only like 5 different choices! glamorous life is pretty. heart

man, is tomorrow the last day? i didn't make it to the mall today. Sadwalk

oh i also tried on the blue dress again, this time with a padded strapless. it no longer sticks out the way it did before. guess it WAS the boobs like alvs said! LMAO it looked much better with a bra. i think i'm keeping it!

i did find that when i sat or at different angles, the zipper would randomly stick out. it's just a weird stiff zipper compared to the flowy dress material. it's not a big deal tho.

My store would find the lowest price possible to give back to me. I would plan for the 5 for 30 so if they gave me more I would be happy.
Thanks for the heads up!

I guess I shouldn't be expecting much.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
Mine gives me back whatever it rings up that day...but my SA's are weirdly nice. The last time I needed to go in store to get something my daughter got fussy and two of the SA's held her and played with her while I finished my shopping and checked out. Noooooo....I totally don't spend too much time in there.

One day we went in and one of the SA's ran up and gave me a hug. My husband informed me something was wrong if the girls at VS were happier to see me than my family laugh out loud
That's so sweet of your VS!

That's probably how my VS will ring it up too. I guess I'll give it a try when I head to VS.

You could always say you changed your mind if they give you less, sometimes I find they give you the price that rings up if you are exchanging something, but if you just want to return they will give you the lowest selling price.

Hm, interesting. That's good to know, but no, I just want to return it, I think. I don't really want it sitting around taking up room. Plus, I can use that couple of bucks for something online that I may actually want Smilie

laugh out loudLMAO That really did make me laugh. Sounds like you are happy and he can make you laugh and smile. That is super important girl! #gogetit
He caught me off-guard with it because I was just typing away talking to ya'll. He is a great guy, so I am not sabotaging this one. Haha

He really cannot complain about me wanting to see the end of my show. He plays video games, which is usually a red flag, but he has so many great qualities that I have given him a pass on that.

Yes! Exactly! I will not say I had given up hope (and it is still early for nuSO and I), but I was not taking active steps to find a guy. So it is a bit ovrwhelming. My friends (in person and you all) have been very supportive, and I am grateful. I am also grateful that we have this thread..that we can talk abou more than VS. I did not get involved in people's personal stories when I started on SD. It is funny the connection we have and a lot of us have never met.

Oh no! We don't like her. You are better than me. I would have told her and her sister a few things by now and dropped out of the wedding completely. I would not expend too much energy on this if I were you.

Sidenote: I am mobile...and my car broke down again. nuSO stayed on the phone with me until the tow truck arrived. He thinks I will be getting a new car. We shall see.
