Review your haul when you get it! bounce

I ordered a ruched tank dress [express.com] (in Celestial Blue) from there the other day...but reading the reviews, I'm worried now that it might be too thin/see-through.
It looked great on me. It is just made for a taller person. The back had too much fabric and it bunched up.

One here is hit or miss. I've seen some. Didn't pay much attention to them since I have a picky dh.

I remember the days when we got free totes and flipflops with any purchase and usually a $10 cert would come too LMAO

2. there isnt that much great sale stuff. so I am not seeing where $125 in purchases comes so easily....can anyone enlighten me??? LOL
I like their stuff better in the summer. I like the bra tops/dresses and the swimwear. Thats what I've been buying plus sports bras. About to start ordering some big girl bras. Sale needs to start asap!

VS is asking us to spend too much. Sneaky bastards Stick Out Tongue
You'd think that. Hahahaha

It definitely is not worth buying $125 worth of retail merchandise.

Quote from kurips :
you're forgetting this is a vs thread... especially that is iceynikki. $125 is standard spend, even without gwp. not for me anymore, i'm a changed person laugh out loud
Hahahaha, oh Kurpee! You know me so well. Hahahaha

I would do the same too : )
I have grown up wearing only wireless bra. Underwire bra does not suit hot weather of India on my last trip I took all the good VS bras (all underwire ones) and I had to buy new soft cotton bras from there : facepalm: and my sister goes - you have enough bra to start your own shop :lol
laugh out loud Did she try to keep some of them?

We need to petition VS to introduce more wireless bras in all sizes. Stick Out Tongue

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
Stupid UPS! They ALWAYS leave my packages, but now all of a sudden they started holding them again! Grr! I was looking forward to getting my stuff!
I hate, when that happens. Leave a note on the door. Hopefully, that will prompt him/her to leave them.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
Smilie I will let you know how they fit. Hopefully I have some luck! I need something to restrain the girls. Ugh! Hate not being able to wear my old stuff. I do work and I don't have too many more than 5 outfits now : lol: I wasn't going to buy a whole bunch of stuff that isn't going to fit too long. Even eating badly I can't stay at this size for long (hopefully!)
I wouldn't buy a lot of clothes, if I was trying to lose either. It kills me that the clothes I bought, during my transitional stage of losing weight, weren't worn but a handful of times. Some of them were never worn. Annoyed

From catalog I received today
SP1231441 $10 off a bra + free panty (i think these are cotton in regular freebie colors) exp 5/29
Thanks

I've bought shorts, bras, lingerie & swimsuits lately. There's about $1,500 worth of clothing & lingerie in my wishlist now. Embarrassment

Quote from leftie :
Oh gosh...I miss those days!!! Remember when there were 7 code slots?!?

I have a cart of about $400+ right now. All bikinis. : D (A few are because I'd be ordering dual sizes to compare fit.)
At first, I really missed the extra boxes. Now, it's extremely rare for there to be more than 3 codes that combine anyway. Thumbdown VS.

I just got the Forever Sexy Pushup Tankini Top http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper. This was the last style I tried, because I didn't like it as good online. I wish I would have started with this one. It fits perfectly, which makes it more flattering. I really like it. Now I wish I hadn't washed the other styles, so I could return them. They didn't fit nearly as well, but I decided to keep them to at least have some swimsuits to wear. Some of the prints aren't available in this style, so I probably needed them for variety anyway. After trying on one that actually fits perfectly, I'm tempted to attempt to alter the others to get a better fit. I'm kind of afraid I'll mess them up though. Scratchchin

I got my fat curling wand. It's so difficult to use! My hair slides off of it. The herstyler does not do that. There's a definite learning curve with this one!

If you ordered them online, you can still return them. They accept returns in pretty much any condition. Return policy [victoriassecret.com]

Coral Kiss is my favorite color for the season too. Like you, I don't know if I need more than one top in the same color though. laugh out loud

Please let me know what you think about the dress from Venus. I get their catalogs, but I've never ordered. Since I've never seen any of you mention ordering from there, I thought the quality may not be good. They do have some really cute clothes. Now, I wish I hadn't thrown away the catalog I got Saturday.

PS: I lost the link for your reviews. Thanks for taking the time to post them. I'm thinking about ordering the first top now. Do you think it would look good with a bra, if I take the bra top inserts out? ETA: N/M, I saw your reply to Tizzy.
The lack of pretty colors is helping me save money (if I used really money to shop at VS, hahahaha). I will probably narrow it down to 2-3 Coral Kiss and Cobalt tops. I do not know if just one each is possible.

When I was younger, my mom used to get Venus catalogues all the time. Not sure if she actually purchased any clothing though. I am a lover of ruffles, bows, and ribbons, so when nuSO mentioned the dress I jumped onto the computer to find it. After I ordered, nuSO said that he wanted me to get it in a different color...that is why he did not purchase it (not that I gave him a chance anyway). I would have taken it in either color, but I will definitely review it.

I do not do all the GWP Totes. I had no plans to get the Orange & White Stripe Beach Tote. Even though I saw someone in Nassau with it and thought it was cute. However, when I got back, I had the urge to buy swimwear and had an extra code box...so I have it. I never get the PINK GWP Totes or Flip Flops. I never get the Beauty totes either, and some of them have been adorable. I was cleaning my emails and found this GWP Tote Click image for larger version Name: 2011 VS Angel Tote.jpg Views: 47 Size: 102.1 KB ID: 1254816 that I did not get (and do not even remember it). I had I been paying attention, I definitely would have ordered it. I miss the Holiday 3-Bag promos that they used to have. One year, the bag quality was amazing for GWP bags.

It is easy for me to meet the GWP thresholds. On average, it is difficult for me to get my Shopping Bag total down. I always spend at least $100 for Free Shipping, but I wish I could have the total less than $200, but that is rare. #addiction
