Aww, thanks, but I have to admit that I have a great daughter. She is currently studying for the NY Bar Exam and takes a review course for 4 hours and then does another 7-8 hours of studying a day!
Way to go!! To both you and her! She's lucky to hav such a supportive and proud mom, and you're lucky to have such an accomplished daughter! Congrats to both of you Smilie

This group sounds like it's full of such great moms. I hope I'm as lucky someday!

For now, I'm glad to enjoy my work and the places it takes me! But I hope my priorities change someday Smilie

Went to AnnTaylor Loft yesterday and I'm a size 0 there? Confused In some things I needed a 00... What crazy vanity sizing!

Sometimes if I've had a particularly good day at the mall, I won't bring my shopping bags into the house until the family leaves. I'm sure it looks like I shop all the time - but I swear I don't! A lot of it is returns of online purchases. Laugh1

Me too! It's no use trying to explain it to them, they've already decided we shop too much shake head

Tell her you won an online sweepstakes for a shopping spree at the store. Teehee

Good one! I don't think she'll believe me laugh out loud
I stopped looking at H&M when it came out that their stores in NYC were destroying clothes - cutting giant holes in winter jackets and cutting apart pants to prevent people from pulling them from the dumpster and reselling them- when they could have just defaced the label like VS does and they still would have been usable by those in need. I did not follow up on their response, need to do that still /soapbox

CrazyCat- they are super fast today! 3 orders from early this morning have shipped already :w voot:
Oh my :l ol: Yeah- the prints are nice, but clothes are so thin these days, the stripes, flowers, dots, you name it peek out through the threads :ro lleyes: I just picked up some of the super bright solid colors, but I bet these hues will manage to peek through too. It's a bummer when I pack for traveling, I know the boring solid bras are coming with. Anywho, hope the weather clears up for your niece and that she gets lots of pictures to remember what a great time she had with her aunt!
They shipped my order super quick too! I may place one or two more orders. I realllly don'tt need anything else though!
Quote from leftie :
That one is cute too! I have the white ikat one in the 3/4 sleeve dress or else I'd order. :lo l: Don't want to duplicate!

I've been lusting after this Metallic Ruched Dress [express.com]. Thinking about getting it to wear for my bday. :gir ly:
That dress is fab! I love it!!! I wish I had something to wear it too lol...not good attire for changing diapers Frown
Quote from kurips :
how about the embellishments? :teeh ee:

does anyone think that bra bands that are made of lace are flimsier? i think so, and i'm having 2nd thoughts on keeping some of the pretty bras because of this. any opinions?
I thought the lace bands stretched more for sure, but I like them a lot. Some of the bras with the crystal embellishments were a little bumpy under some tops so I wasn't going to keep them but the look on hubby's face when I said I was returning the DA's with crystals made me keep them laugh out loud
Quote from Stardust42 :
Wave Have a nice weekend, everyone!

I don't really think they're flimsier, but the lace bands do stretch out quicker than fabric bands. They might snag easier but I wash all my Dream Angels in bra bags and most of them hold up pretty well. Still wearing some from 2-3 years ago. I say go ahead and keep the pretty ones! Wink

I haven't try the Tee dress but I remember PordaPoddy said she loves it. Here's her review:
What bra bags do you use? I have a hard time finding a decent one.
Quote from IceyNiki :
Update: The flowers were delivered right before the deadline. He was still in the office. Apparently, people were surprised they were for him. Everyone was trying to read the card, and asking him who they were from. He was happy, surprised, and blushing. Technically, the flowers were for Father's Day, but he is leaving that day on vaca. I wanted him to have time to enjoy them, so I sent them a week early. Mission accomplished.

I was so excited to receive my VS SAS packages, but I only tried on the merc from one. #SoSad

I am try to fight the urge to visit Express. All this peer pressure...
Glad the flowers made it!! Good luck on resisting Express!

I do shop all the time, but I return a lot. Things don't fit right a lot of the time, so I am sure VS hates me and my husband thinks I spend all day shopping due to the amount of packages I get laugh out loud I hate trying on a lot of bras at once too!

I hope your DD had a good time at UO, even though it rained. We did have a good time, but we were wet & cold most of the time. All this rain is crazy. That never happens. Today is looking better. Hopefully, tomorrow will be nice, so we can take her to the beach. We'd wait until Monday, but they want my DH to go with them. He's only guaranteed to be off on Sunday. That's because he refuses to work on Sundays. If not they'd schedule work for him then too. : annoyed: My niece also wants to go to Cobb theater to see a movie & get a funnel cake. She's amazed that you can get one at a movie theater. : lol: We'll do that, if it rains.
Hahaha, we do have good theaters here. I like the ones that serve booze! Beer

She had a great time! As long as she can ride the Mummy 3xs she's happy. She said it was still really busy tho.

Quote from GoHeels :
It looks like our closest H&M is at International Plaza, which is surprising. I'm really surprised that mall has a store with prices like I'm seeing on that site. I do a lot more looking than buying at IP. It's been a while, since I've needed a $500 hat. laugh out loud
Ugh I hate going there. It's always so busy and parking is a P.I.A. not to mention the drive. We only go down there when we want to visit one of the restaurants. They have a lot of good ones.

Quote from kurips :
order this skirt [express.com]! : heart:

Must control myself. I've already bought a skirt [express.com] that just showed up here and I heart it!!!

What a crappy thing to do, why not slash the tag and donate them? Mad

Thank you all!!! We were supposed to watch Game 7 tonight (it is on right now), but I overslept!!! So upset with myself...and so hungry and lonely.

I will get you all to convert to the Gorgeous Bra, so VS does not discontinue it!

I missed all the flower talk but I am so happy for you it all worked out! woot

Peer pressure...that is what ya'll do!!!!

What bra bags do you use? I have a hard time finding a decent one.

I buy my bra bags from BBB. Real Simple (the magazine) is the brand. Eventually the plastic inside that keeps it round breaks, but I usually get a lot of washes before it does so. If it does break too soon, I take it back and they let me exchange it. Not sure if it is the best style out there.

Ya'll probably will not get me because me shopping at Express is using real money...but I do not use real money at VS! Hahahaha
