I need help making a decision girls. I can't decide if I should buy a purse that I've wanted for a while but it was expensive so I bought a similar purse last week! Now it is much cheaper because of the Endless.com sale, or if I should be logical and get a new ipod because I really need one.

The one I don't get will have to wait a while because I'm on a budget.

I think I'm the Express shopping champion this month Hide

Quote from nerdgirl :
ok i am so confused with my express next points. it says:
05/15/2012 -100 -100
05/15/2012 Reward issued -1880 -1880
05/15/2012 -100 -100
05/15/2012 Reward issued -420 -420

why is it on separate transactions? it sums up to 2500. why didn't they just say Reward issued -2500?
i also saw these entries that didn't have "reward issued". i thought they were for returns, and they lumped up my negs for returns with rewards issued. i wasn't sure the points matched up with the $, so I kinda gave up figuring it out laugh out loud i just thought to myself, at least they show the points to us.
Quote from nerdgirl :
express experts - how do they do returns without receipt? i'm not sure i can find a receipt for a dress i don't think i want - can i just bring it in to exchange for something else? will they give me lowest selling price or something?
i don't think they will do return/exchange without receipt anymore. but their replies reminded me they do courtesy lookup using your cc. i once brought in my email confirmation and that was ok i guess because it had an order number.

Ugh, I saw a black dress I wanted though...

But so happy I was grandfathered in, wouldn't have a reason to spend so much nowadays anyway! I'll just keep my old card, thank you very much. Looks better in my opinion anyway

Well, it sounds like you already got a similar purse, why not go for the ipod? But I mean, in my opinion, purses come and go quite quickly. The iPod will always be there and probably get even better down the road...

I am going back and forth between that one and the one you bought before that I posted above. I think it is so pretty!
You should just get both laugh out loud They look different (1) the fabric (2) one is boatneck, the other is roundneck (i think). I already have both styles, and stripes is coming for one of them laugh out loud Stripes totally make it different. Plus I ordered it in XS this time, my other is a S, they'll be totally different looks LMAO

eta: i just went and look at the pictures, and the necks may be the same Teehee

I got 3 VS orders today, & it's all probably going back. I hate it when that happens. Annoyed nerdicus was right. The knockout bra doesn't work for me. I'll let my DH see what he thinks, but I'm 99% sure it's a no-go. If not for there being a line in the middle, I would look like I have one big boob. shake head .
Officially off my list. Uniboob is not what I'm going for. LMAO

Quote from kurips :
lace tee [express.com] - too boxy. i had a feeling this may end up being either cute or weird. i think it ended up being weird.
Awww to bad, I had my eye on this one too. Frown

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
They get in my way when I'm eating, and they make it hard for me to put my bag on my shoulder.
Never thought about them getting in the way while eating.

Your killing me here when I'm trying to not shop as much. I think the white is more casual and the jade can go either way. I might get both. I'm playing with the cart now to figure out the best deal. Teehee


And did I miss it mentioned here Express Next is offering double points on every tank or graphic t purchased now through 5/31 with your card? I didn't know that until I logged in today. I think I need some tanks too! bounce

That's very true! Hmm...the purses are similar but not identical. One of them is quite a bit bigger than the other too.

It sounds like you really want the purse. Why not just go for it? The iPod can wait Smilie I bet they'll come out with a larger storage space once you hit your iPod budget! nod

i think she's just like many people in the field, thinking, making yourself look presentable is just a waste of time, when you can spend that time working Teehee i've never been one of these people.
Whip I totally got sucked into that mentality... time not spent at the bench makes you a bad grad student!

I need to make a correction! I meant to say Balboa peninsula! Sorry, I've been on the Island before and it's just too crowded! If you drive all the way down on the peninsula where we did our dinner with MCBB, down to I or J street (in ABC order) you'll reach a little fork and go right and bam! Lots of FREE parking! And steps to the beach are RIGHT THERE!

But you live so close to the beach now anyway Surf
Oooh, OK. Well it's always nice to know a different place to go, but yes- it's been soooo warm and beautiful lately woot Although the other day, we had all these bees, I freaked out and taped up all the doors and windows laugh out loud

Quote from nerdgirl :
the mens shirts are b1g1. i think i will order some! i want to get them for wedding. do you guys think light grey shirt inside dark grey suit is overkill? they will be wearing an eggplant-colored tie.
tone on tone, I think it will look good Smilie What color are the BM dresses again?

Its ok I talk to her like 3 times a week and whenever she visits us she stays with me for a month or more, that is the time of absolute pampering for me Smilie Mom made food and nothing to worry about. If mom and I would be in same country I doubt she would ever come to stay with me that long shake head Plus I go to India almost every year so its win-win for me bounce
...
aww, how sweet Smilie Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. If your cough is productive (fluid sound/mucus), then I would make sure I take a decongestant so I can clear the fluids out my nose and prevent them from dripping down and perpetuating the cough.

Random question. I just got back from Australia (awesome trip), but I had a complete disaster getting there on Delta. I was pushed back a day late and missed DBF's award ceremony and all of this other stuff. It's a complicated story, but it's all Delta's fault this happened.

Has anyone had luck complaining to an airline? What did you say, and what did you ask for?

Also, does anyone know of any good coupons/deals for the maybelline tattoo eyeshadows? I know Ulta has buy 2 get one free. Is that good?

they're eggplant purple (tho very dark - not sure if you saw the shade when shopping for yours. same company). i thought they grey might be nice vs the white to go with the more casual look (their suits won't be 100% matched, dresses are different). but i really have to see it i guess... thanks!

i'm not sure about complaining. i've never done it before - the only time i was able to successfully complain was when i had a flight to taipei from los angeles with a connection in san jose and they cancelled my flight to san jose without letting me know ahead of time (it was american i think, and they told me later to get on a united flight, which i missed bc i didn't have enough time bc they didn't tell me!) - after complaining and complaining they put me on a direct flight to taipei. it was really nice of them to do that, esp considering it was a priceline ticket. but in general, i don't know if complaining will help any... maybe search on flyertalk or something?

that ulta deal seems pretty good, considering you can use a 3.50 off 10 coupon to get 3 for like 10 or 12. i usually see b1g1 50% off which is the same deal i guess (but may come out a tiny bit cheaper due to the 3.50 off, if both comes out to 10 - i don't know the retail value).
