btw shorties, this express tank [express.com] is the right length (many camis are too long on me, i have to pull them up some). i ordered it during the tick tock and have not received yet, but i tried it in the store yesterday. this one is ribbed.

they have other ones [express.com] with more wearable colors that are not ribbed. not 100% sure they are the same cut and fit, but it seems like it. they didn't have it on the site until after the tick tock, and i didn't see them in the store. i may order those too.

I don't mind long flights either. I just eat and sleep after every meal :lol : they serve like 3 meals including snacks and flight makes me sleepy. When not sleeping I catch up on movies I missed : D Inflight entertainment and options are REALLY good in long flights.
I wish I liked to fly, but it's torture for me. On our first cross country flight to San Francisco, I stayed up all night hoping to sleep through the flight. No sleep for me. Instead, I arrived exhausted & toured Alcatraz feeling like a zombie. shake head I have pretty severe acrophobia. All I can think about is the fact that there's nothing under my feet.

Site is advertising a swim sale. I haven't looked yet!

I got a swim sale catalog today. They timed that perfectly. I'm considering returning some of my swimsuits & reordering. None of them have been worn, & I don't need them immediately. It seems wrong to pay full price, when I could get them cheaper. laugh out loud

Thanks for the code.

Quote from hba123 :
Morning, ladies. Any free shipping codes for Express? So excited--getting ready to go to my daughter's law school graduation! :woot :
That's awesome! Congrats to her. woot I know you're very proud. Enjoy the graduation. You both earned it. Smilie

Quote from leftie :
**REVIEWS**
  • Metallic Tweed Jacket [victoriassecret.com] (Size 2) - First, an issue with sizing. While the 2 fit, the shoulder/elbow area was too constricting. If I bend my arms, it's not comfortable. If I re-order this, I'll size up. I got this for the faux-Chanel tweed jacket look. I really like the zipper detailing on the pockets of the jacket and also (not shown) on the sleeves. I'm not completely sold on the "sparkly-ness" of it all though. The silver threading is really prominent and I was hoping for more of a subtle glint.
  • Shiny Blazer [victoriassecret.com] (Size 2) - :thumbsu p: Got both colors of this. LOVE : heart: The fit is awesome and I love blazers in this cut and style. This looks great with the sleeves cuffed to about 3/4. I will have to iron it since it's super wrinkled right now, but I am very pleased with this purchase. The price is great, considering what I've seen in stores (H&M and Zara). I also like that there is no venting in the back - some jacket vents flare out in an unflattering way.
Thanks for the reviews.

Quote from ayoungpretender :
I'm keeping it anyway. It was backordered and I don't feel like doing another exchange to keep my tier. I'll just only wear it on vacation where I don't care if everyone thinks I look like a skank.
I have things I'll only wear on vacation too. I'm glad I'm not the only one. There's a limit to what I'll show people who see me regularly. Vacation is the time I dress for my DH in things I wouldn't normally wear. laugh out loud

I've going through that too. It's very frustrating. Annoyed I'm sure the VS warehouse is just as annoyed with all the returns. Embarrassment

The cross back dress isn't available on the site now. Dontknow I'm glad I went ahead & ordered. Now, I just hope I guessed the size right. The site is acting crazy now, so it will probably return. Yellow is no longer a color option though.

Yeah! I saw that this morning when I was cleaning out my wish list. It's still on my wish list, and I can add to cart, but I see that it doesn't have a price on the site! I guess I can't return mine anymore. Their site is weird.

I'm glad that most of my swim that I bought aren't clearanced or on sale, otherwise, I would be going nuts.

VS updated the clearance and sale sections, so I HAD to place an order. It is like my brain is programmed as though it is not real money I am spending. If I do not send in my returns, it will be real money I am paying. #addiction #SoSad #helpme

You can still return items that are no longer on the site, unless you meant exchange?

what! so strange.

i tried mine on again, and i must have been bloated the first time i tried it or something, but the turquoise one fits ok on me now. i think i am keeping that one, even tho i really like the yellow color. the yellow one in the same size fits tighter on me, so it's much more high waisted than the turquoise, for me. so i'm sending the yellow back. sad that it's not offered anymore tho!

Mine are on sale & it's killing me. Annoyed I'm trying to decide, if it's worth the hassle to return & rebuy. Some of them have been washed, but not worn. AYP, said I could still return them though. Decisions, decisions.... Stick Out Tongue

I ordered yellow & may order turquoise. It depends on how the yellow one looks. I just hope it fits. With my luck guessing sizes lately, it probably won't. shake head

I only placed 2 orders with the stacking codes. What was I thinking? Facepalm laugh out loud I hope they'll release more codes that stack in the future.

i have tried some and have swatched others inside a sephora. i wouldn't buy them at full price, but for $3 it's a great deal! the palettes looked nice, especially if it's so cheap.
