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 did have a boring, white bra, but I had already worn it. Obviously, I didn't plan well. shake head My sister said I should wear it anyway, but I'm strange & don't wear anything twice.
Not strange, just a diva! Wink

What bra bags do you use? I have a hard time finding a decent one.
Hi, CCJ. Wave How are you and your adorable DD?

I mostly use Tide bra bags [containerstore.com], although I suspect they might be too small for your bras. Some of the comments say their D cup bras don't even fit into the bag. They work really well for me but I'm only an A cup. Blush

I also have some VS ones [victoriassecret.com]. They also work well, but from time to time I still have to reshape the bra after washing.

I use bra balls [n-fini.com] for my favorites and more delicate ones. Definitely protect the shape better than bra bags, but they're also pricier.
EEK! That's horrible! Their stuff aren't that expensive anyway, I really don't see the harm for them to donate them. Mad

Also got this as a cover-up. It's pretty sheer. They also had solid colors. Great for a cover-up.

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!

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

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
So sorry you overslept! I hate when I do that - although right now I wish I could oversleep for something - so tired!!

Never thought to look at BBB for a bra bag. They sell everything and actually they are in the same plaza as VS where I live. I will check on Tuesday. Still trying to figure out if I am going to go at lunch or tell my boss I have an appointment on Tuesday AM and go in the morning Stick Out Tongue

I was looking at that on the site yesterday, except in black.SO cute! Bet it looks awesome on you! I am not very adventurous with color. I swear my whole wardrobe is black, blue, purple, and *some* red. I'm venturing out. I bought a shirt in "bionic blue" instead of navy. It's the brightest thing I own laugh out loud

I think it is terrible they ruin the clothing too Frown

wave We are doing very well, thank you for asking Smilie hug DD is playing in her jumperoo so I am downing some coffee and checking up on anything from VS I may need to order while there is still FS w/$25 lol. She isn't real thrilled with anything so I turned on cartoons Hide terrible parenting, I know I shouldn't let her watch TV but I NEED my coffee. Ten minutes won't hurt Stick Out Tongue

eta - it lasted about 4 minutes. She wanted to go in the swing.

TY for the suggestions on the lingerie bags. I like the ones from VS - haven't seen them before. I will probably order a couple of those. I like that they fit up to 4 bras, so they should fit the DDD's well, even if they only hold 2 or so. I haven't been washing my bras in anything Hide so having to reshape a little wouldn't bother me. I'm hoping these bras last a while...but I've been losing weight at a decent pace so I'm not sure. I don't know if I will ever fit back into the ones from before DD. Band will fit fine, I think my cup size is going to stay this huge!!!

The berry ball thing is neat, I think for my size it would be like throwing a cantaloupe in the washer hahaha.

Hey ladies...

Do you remember me telling you that VS had put a shirt in one of my orders that I didn't order? Well, I did add it to the box of returns I sent it. It was the only item returned as a gift, the rest I had invoices for. They processed everything on Thursday, except that. Has anyone had part of their items get processed and then more at a later date?

I don't really want to email about it as it wasn't something I really paid for anyhow, but it seems odd to just not process one item in a box of 15 or so.

TIA Smilie

It was beautiful in all 3 colors. It looks very expensive too. I love blues and teals in the summer with my tan.

The skirt was 40% for certain sizes. I think the size you are buying is one of the sizes that is not on sale. Looks like it is starting to sell out too. Only sizes 00, 0, and 2 left. nod

I love a leopard print! I really like that dress too. Still haven't worn my leopard shirt I bought because of DH telling me leopard is for old ladies. Bonk
IMO, any animal print is just fine! Now, with that said...I would never mix prints and I would not go crazy with accessories.

Quote from GoHeels :
I love that dress. I wish they offered it in gold. Silver doesn't look good with my skin tone.
When I saw the dress in store, it looked more goldish-toned than silver to me. Confused Maybe it was the lighting though... I hate when stores are poorly lit - ESPECIALLY because it's really hard to make out if something is red or reddish-orange. shake head

Quote from crazymonkey1980 :
I heart the Georgous bra too! New fav. so sorry very sexy bra, not so sexy now buth rather I am sporting Georgous!
heart the Gorgeous! I love the bewbs I get from the Very Sexy bras, but the fit "gaps" a bit for me. So far, I haven't noticed that problem with the Gorgeous.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I never shopped at H&M because I don't like their stuff, but I have friends that rave about it so much Faint
I shop at H&M very frequently....I can see how people either love/hate it. I've been lucky so far in finding decent items at great prices. bounce

I have this! Whee Have yet to wear it, but the print is perfect for summer. I was going to ignore the sheerness and just wear it as a dress. Teehee

We have the same taste!
Did you get the same print in the belted dress? It isn't as bad as some. I may try to pull it off or buy a slip. It is really cute. I was looking for your dress. Finally found it after my trip to the fitting room laugh out loud. Dh was wanting to go so I didn't buy it.

nod Same print! Like you said, it looks really good against tanned skin. I feel like if you wear nude undergarments you should be fine(?).... But I haven't tested how it looks in different lighting...I'm sure if someone looks hard enough, they might see the sheerness of it.

You will love the lace one! Go back for it soon before it sells out bounce
