You could always ebay it to offset some of the bra's cost. I should probably start doing that. Ebay is just a pita so I haven't bothered in over 2 years laugh out loud.

It is a pain because you get a bunch of stoopid buyers and people asking questions. From what I can tell it's gotten worse.

You need to clean out your closet! You can sell off things and make room for new! woot I get what you mean though, clothes aren't changing too much from year to year so there isn't really a "need" to buy...although I always feel the need to! laugh out loud

I dont know what you are thinking , but you can PM me laugh out loud
I am tempted to place order but I dont even use makeup much Embarrassment
I'm compelled to order more b/c of the codes combining. Cool I should stop spending!

nod Also, sometimes you get the bidder who wins and then disappears. I only sell about once a year b/c it's so much work to take pics, list, prepare packages. And I hate how Ebay and Paypal both take cuts.

Not only that, buyers are golden in Ebay's eyes even though they're mostly the scammers, or trouble makers which makes it hard for regular good buyers and sellers.

This was the only size pic I could find too. Now that I saw it on Ebay, I think the towel is cuter in the small pic. LOL. I'm not sure if I want it. Dontknow

Quote from kurips :
I like that she shows you can shop wal-mart, especially since many people can not really afford stuff other gurus show. And also, she actually wore one to work.

She didn't convince me to look into wal-mart for clothes either laugh out loud (i mean for myself. i buy kids' clothes at wal-mart Teehee)
Baby and kids clothes are one thing, they grow out of them so fast. For myself no way. They quality is crap. But I do appreciate the fact that she shows some who can't afford to shop the higher end stores that they can still be cute and fashionable.

Quote from annicus :
damn! you'd think someone would think of a way for us thick haired girls to style our hair without it taking hours. Sadwalk i actually got the herstyler to do my hair in about 20 min. i think that is the fastest for me so far! but i have rediscovered my fat curling iron which works decently well... so this fat wand is becoming more useless for me. Sadwalk my hair snags in it too! Annoyed
Sorry it's not working for you. Frown I watched that video posted by Alvsy and tried it again and got the hang of it somewhat. I have beachy waves from it right now. I have fine hair that won't hold a wave or curl so I am anxious to see if they hold. Still need more practice tho. nod

If you ordered them online, you can still return them. They accept returns in pretty much any condition. Return policy [victoriassecret.com]
Yay, I didn't know that. bounce I'm going to try them on again to see what I want to return. At full price they're really expensive to not fit well.

Quote from IceyNiki :
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 Attachment 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.
I never have a large wardrobe like the rest of you, so I try to limit duplicate colors. If I find a piece of clothing I really like, I frequently buy it in several colors though. I hate trying on clothes. If I find something that looks good, it's easier to buy it in a lot of colors than to try on something else. laugh out loud

Are you saying I get the catalog, because I'm old? Stick Out Tongue I'm surprised the rest of you don't get Venus' catalog. Body Central sends me catalogs too. I thought I got them, because both companies were targeting VS customers.

I actually like the orange/white stripe tote better than the one we got after that. I like the pockets on the outside of this tote for carrying sunblock, lip balm , etc., instead of having to dig for it amongst the towels. The color doesn't bother me for a beach bag.


Quote from Tizzylicious :
Yay you found one you liked! :woo t: I wonder how it will compare to the Penneys one, or did you cancel it?
I'll let you know how they compare, when the tankini from JCP arrives.

Quote from leftie :

Shopping comes in waves for me. There will be long periods where I don't buy anything at all and then times like this. :lmao : I think after this month, it will calm down a lot. : cool:
I do the same thing with clothing. With beauty products, I can't seem to pass on a deal. Embarrassment I buy way too much & give away a lot to my family.

Quote from slickydoll :

If I had a lot of clothes, I wouldn't be buying them either. I'm not one who feels like I need a large wardrobe. Since I literally didn't have a dress for either of my nephew's weddings last year & this year, I decided it was time to start spending some money on clothes. The dress I bought for the wedding in March still fits. The one from Nov. doesn't. So, I have a grand total of 1 dress. Blush I need to buy clothes.

Quote from annicus :
beach towel TROPIC75 ahhhh i want my gc before i order. think i'm going to the mall tonight.
Thanks Woot. What am I going too buy. Scratchchin The cross front bra top that Icey reviewed went OOS overnight in one of the colors I wanted. Sadwalk

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :

Thanks for the pic. Smilie I'm not crazy about the towel, but I really need them. I wish they'd offer a few GWPs that didn't turn you into a walking billboard. I suppose that would defeat the purpose though. This way they get free advertising.

That's the reason I use hot rollers. It takes forever to curl my hair with a curling iron. With hot rollers, I cram the hair on the roller, then put the clip over it to keep it there. laugh out loud

I'm not loving the towel somehow. I try to go on my first impression.

The pic is tiny Teehee but thanks Alvs. At least I know what it looks like. Wink

Is this it? How is it on ebay already?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VICTORIAS...1c26d3a15a
I always wonder how some sellers get items to sell so fast too. I have a feeling he/she is breaking eBay rules & listing something they don't have in their possession yet.

It does look cheap, but I'm going to get it anyway. A cheap looking beach towel is better than no beach towel at all. laugh out loud
