Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'd rather return to VS and get my money back nod I have about $50 extra to spend...Just waiting for SAS to hit and pick it up, but they already dropped the price by $10, not sure if they will drop some more.
For a while there were a bunch in that style for $11.99 + $2 shipping. It is worth keeping an eye on it. Certain styles end up on there a lot, even if they are nice, and that seems like one of them.

I've been checking MJR, since you mentioned it last time. So far, nothing has come up. When I get the dresses I ordered, I should have a better feel for what size to order. I don't want to guess on sizes there.

I agree! White clothes are so hard to find.

I hope he does. If not, he may not like how much I've spent on them lately. laugh out loud

They appear to have next to nothing now. I am so disappointed because I had a whole bunch of stuff on my wishlist and everything was gone and they're not listing any new stuff. I kept putting it off for free shipping, but that ended up a failure. If I get something cheap enough, I don't care so much about the risk. I alter a lot of clothes myself and consider the worst-case scenario before buying, so I'm rarely too disappointed.

sorry for the cryptic message. i just got home from a short trip to the mall. they couldn't find my transaction at express with my express cc (figures!) but they let me do an even exchange. so i took that bc there were a few things i had been eyeing.

wish my store had a better selection of dresses tho! i saw alvs' fav dress, but they only had sizes 6 and up in blue and white. i really wanted to try it on! Annoyed there were a lot of dresses i couldn't find in the store. luckily, i found a couple of sweaters i liked.

kurpee - the sweater i tried last time that i thought was yours was actually another one [express.com]. this one runs super long and the S is really large... but i got it anyway. laugh out loud i liked the taupe color in person. i also got ur sweater in the green - i don't think that one runs as long, but i grabbed a xs to try and it fit fine so that's what i went with. i don't usually shop in such a rush, but i didn't leave for the mall till 8:20 and everything closed at 9, so i didn't really have time.

last time they did a lookup for me, it was difficult. i think they have to go into each transaction, they can't really search for the item number. they ask me about when i purchase, and i said something like probably mid-january. then they look into that, and of course i had several purchases Teehee

yay for the sweater! did you get the bright jade like mine or the other green?

Oh, no wonder! She was probably too lazy to look for it then. I got the other green! I kinda want the bright blue too!

There is a way they can look it up by item. They found my really quick last time. I was actually shocked how fast she did it and commented on it. That is when she said there was another way. I think some sa's aren't trained properly. I've had them go through my transactions and that is annoying and takes forever.

Morning!

I have been pretty productive today! I had my grocery shopping and laundry done by 0930! Now I don't wanna do anything laugh out loud

I've ordered a lot lately - but I'm returning a lot too. Nothing fits quite right and I will reorder some things during SAS...I probably have $300 in returns in my living room EEK!

Thanks Smilie I'll have him pick up any palettes they have, if he gets home in time.
Where do we have a Big Lots here? I would jump on $3 Philosophy makeup. I've used their blush before and was very happy with it.

the girl last night just tried something and then said that she couldn't find it. she listed out some other transactions so i'm assuming she just glanced at my transactions and didn't see it. it worked out for me tho - i traded my 1 dress for 2 sweaters - not bad!

Sorry you missed out on the stuff on your wishlist. I hate when that happens. Unfortunately, I can only sew a little by hand, so I can't do any major alterations. I wish I could sew. When I was young, I wasn't at all domesticated. Home Ec. was the last class I would have taken. I did dye curtains once. It took forever to get the dye out of my washing machine. Dyeing fabric isn't hard at all. I just need a more efficient way to do it.

Wave How's the baby girl? I hope she's feeling better.

I've returned around $800 worth in the last month. We won't talk about how much I've spent. Teehee

The closest one to me is on the corner of Hwy. 54 & Hwy. 40. The stores on East Busch Blvd. & North Florida Ave. may be closer for you. There's also one in Zephyrhills, which isn't far from Wesley Chapel. Now that I think about it, that may be your best bet. My DH is stopping by the stores on N FL & 54/40 on his way home. I'll let you know what he finds.
