I haven't tried that one K!
i found reviews [express.com] for it. i decided not to order since it looks like it won't work for me. they say it doesn't help hide flaws and the straps are long.

I hate seeing high schoolers or younger wearing the Pink line. It was originally made for college aged girls, but that's gone out the window. I stopped wearing most of my Pink clothing two years ago when my 25 year old husband came home from teaching telling me about how many high schooler's had been wearing Pink to school. Pink seems to be turning into Aeropostal where every middle schooler shops. Frown Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky about it!

I still like the 2 for $28 cotton tees and some of the BAMA stuff. I don't know when the last time I bought a pair of pink sweats or a hoodie (anything that has writing all over it). The stuff I have bought is mainly for lounging. I may wear a plain v-neck tee or a collegiate hoodie to target or the tanning salon. I like to dress up when I leave the house!

I think the VS label raises a lot more eyes than it should, stressing parents out. My aunt bought me my first lace bra and my parents had a cow. It was really just the first pretty thing I owned and wasn't going to be shown to anyone else, I wore it for slight support under PJ's. My first intro to woman-hood and feeling feminine Girly . Like you said, not that 'girls trying to grow up too fast' don't exist.
DH was opposed because he's used to me in the sexy VS stuff and didn't know they had the regular old cotton bras there. Teehee He also doesn't want his daughters wearing clothes made for college girls or with something written across their butts. LMAO But most of all he didn't want me spending $55 on a bra for a teen. But I had to remind him I don't pay $55 for bras for myself. Wink

High schoolers, try middle school and elementary schools! I went to DD's schools this year and they were wearing it! One of them is in 5th and the other is in 7th and I was surprised to see it. Heck my niece wears the Pink line and she's in 6th grade. Don't get me started on that.......Nono2

I have to admit I do like their NFL/MLB line. Just wish the PINK on the back of their stuff wasn't there. nod


So do any of you ladies shop "Tarjay?" I'm looking for some shorts in a lime green and am liking these chinos [targetimg2.com]. Can't beat a $12 [target.com] price tag either. I can't seem to find lime green shorts that aren't booty shorts. Teehee

Yeah, I still wear my Pink tanks and sleep shorts. They are very comfy. I can't fit in Pink bras so I've never bought them. But I used to have Pink clothing out the wazoo. After the realization that its now the cool thing for 15 years olds to wear (I just turned 26) I sold a lot of my tops and shorts/pants on ebay. I was surprised to find that certain times of the year Pink sells really well! lol I still sometimes have to resist the urge to buy something from the Pink line. I was in my store last week and they had this http://www.victoriassecret.com/pi...ueType=OLS for sale. I thought about it and was strong enough to walk away.

I haven't sold since Winter, but Pink seems to sell really well around Fall/Winter. That's kinda why I've been holding off recently. I don't know if it's because of back to school and Christmas or what. I bought a pink sequin shirt for $4.99 during the SAS and wasn't sure about keeping it. Instead of returning it I put it up for sale on Ebay and it sold for over $30. The original price was only $26. I was surprised at how many people paid for stuff that they could probably have gotten cheaper if they shopped the deals. I also always start my bids off at $0.99 and run it for 5-7 days. The low starting price attracts a lot of watchers that usually end up bidding. Overall, I usually ended up getting a lot of my money back since I only shop VS with codes/coupons. Smilie Idk if your new to Ebay, but it can be really confusing at first. If you have any questions just shoot me a pm.

UGH!! Don't get me started!!! I actually had a mother b*tch me out one day because Pink size XS ran "too large" for her 12 yr old daughter and we "really ought to start making size XXS." I wanted to scream at her, "THAT'S BECAUSE ITS NOT MADE FOR 12 YR OLDS!!" Not to mention the hordes of teeny boppers that come in to buy their 5/$26 Pink v-strings and bombshell bras with mommy or daddys credit card. Literally makes me sick. I started working at VS (when I was 21) because I LOVED Pink. Now I only buy pink on a rare occasion and it's usually a hoodie or sleepwear. My obsession has moved onto bras & panties. Teehee

I love tarjay! I've looked at some of their shorts but man are they short! I actually just got apair of 'neon' cropped pants from there. Not sure if i saw those that you linked - I'm on my phone so i haven't clicked on the link yet but i think all the ones i saw were mossimo jr and def were butt shorts.

Not Mossimo, that is definitely junior sizing. These are Merona which are misses sized. They don't look too booty shortie. [target.com] I was wondering about the quality. I may go ahead and get them anyway, $12 can't beat it! I love the lime green, amethyst, and guava berry colors.

those are different! they look nice. i tend to like merona stuff a lot, but mossimo jr stuff fits me better i think (i don't have womanly hips, probably). i think for $12 you can't go wrong - merona stuff is usually decent quality for the price imo. i like the ones you chose! i heart all the colors of this season!

their sizing runs a bit on the large side for me - i am always their smallest size and sometimes it's too big for me. i'm normally a 2-4 in vs stuff.

yes I have sold preowned stuff before. I ususally start mine at $5-$10, b/c if it will sell and I am ok with that price why not? also ebay has free listings for up to 50 per month. You can do the auction price then do a BIN now price, some people have purchased at teh BIN price. hth

I think I'll order them in a couple different sizes so I can get free shipping and the right size. Teehee I am loving all the colors myself. Especially the three I listed and I am looking for a cobalt pair too. So many fun colors this season!
