Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.


Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!


Please PM everyone who was a part of the VS Social Thread to inform them of our new home.

and i don't think i've smelled anything weird with angels bras... maybe you got a bad one? i would do an exchange and see if it was just a dud.
It's the weirdest chemical smell. I have 4 Angels and none of my pushups have the smell, just this one. I already wore it and washed it so I didn't think I could return. I think I will soak it in fabric softner and baking soda to see if it takes the smell away. Stick Out Tongue


Quote from PordaPoddy :
Tee Dress . [victoriassecret.com] I have one and I try to wear it a lot- it's basically a long T-shirt, so it's stupidly overpriced. It glances off the chest, hips, and butt without feeling too form fitting. It's also got a nice length (I'm 5'6" and it's longer on me than it is on the model).
I love this too! I don't like hearing it's longer on you than the model and you are 5'6" .... it would be even longer on me. Where does it fall on you? I'm waiting for a better deal on them myself and then I'll give it a try to see where it falls on me. I wish they would show the other way to wear it too. It says it can be a scoop neck but they don't show you that.

Me too. Teehee Just bought jeans in 3 different sizes. DH looked at me like I had 3 heads. But I don't know which size I am so I planned to order 2 sizes and since I needed $20 more to get free shipping I threw in another size. Now I have all my bases covered. laugh out loud

Mascara Madness is May 26th Whee!!!
Scratchhead I've been in Mascara Madness since I joined this thread laugh out loud Quick poll for the thread, how many tubes of Mascara do you have in your possession and how many of those are in-use right now? I'm thinking ---->OMG

That's a cute dress. Do you have it in stripes? I love those colors.
. . .
Not yet... I have it in solid black, but am looking at red, charcoal, color stripe, the blue print, and maybe 1 crochet version. The prices are what's holding me back. Oh I should say that if you throw cinching-style belt on , it hikes the dress up, so I don't do those with this dress - only the looser hip-slung belt.

Solids [victoriassecret.com] $40
Prints $30 [victoriassecret.com]
Prints $40 [victoriassecret.com]
Tie Dye $50 [victoriassecret.com]
Crochet Version $50 (comes with a removeable lining) [victoriassecret.com]
Ruched Version $37 [victoriassecret.com]
Ruched Patterns $40 [victoriassecret.com]

Oooh, watch out on soaking it in fabric softener- I believe it breaks down fibers and can do a number on adhesives (The Secret Embrace and Incredibles seem to use lots of adhesive to hold the bra together)...you can use softener to take down wall-paper. You could try giving it some sun to speed up the off-gassing process... that's what we do with our foam mattress toppers. Probably also bad for the fabric, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.

It sounds like I need to take a pic in front of my dirty mirror laugh out loud I want to say it hits mid-thigh on me (on the model it looks to me like it's 2" below her bum). The scoop is in the back, but I never switch it up b/c part of the comfy factor for me is that I don't have to worry about cleavage. There's no bra peeking from the scoop, so it really can go either way.

ETA- I probably underestimated the length on the model, they make everything look short! Blush

On another note, I'm soooooo ticked that VS A) never put this long-sleeve cover-up sweater [victoriassecret.com]online, I had to dig to find the product number and B) that they're completely out of stock and not on back-order! Mad

OMG I never knew that! I'll stick with plain baking soda then. Wink

I like the boat neck and the fact it can be worn either way. I'm guessing it looks like the scoop on the ruched t you posted?

On second thought, I think I was wrong- that the ruched one is just a similar dress and not another version of the same dress. The scoop on the regular one is more rounded. I'll get a pic on here later today Stick Out Tongue

Hello!!! I am all right. I have some issues at my home, so hopefully they will be taken care of this week. nuSO has altered my life. I have not been couponing. I was not eating properly. I had lost weight, but I gained it back eating out. After the home issues are resolved, I can get back to cooking my healthy meals. I am finally packing my VS returns. I have just been a little overwhelmed. I was trying to keep up with the thread via my phone, but I had no idea what you all have been talking about.
