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

Well, milk does a body good!! Big Grin

Ladies, anyone know if the aloe socks will be part of the BBW SAS? They always have been, but are full price onlione. I always depend on SAS to stock up--I always have cold feet.

Quote from GoHeels :
I went to Express yesterday & tried on a lot of stuff. I bought this skirt http://www.express.com/sequin-str...pro#jsLink in indigo & a top that I don't see online. It was on clearance too. Alvs' favorite dress is very flattering. I'm probably going to order it in white, blue, & green, when it goes on sale again. I'm going to order the metallic ruched dress also. http://www.express.com/metallic-r.../index.pro Express dresses fit me much better than VS dresses. I didn't see the metallic stretch lace dress in the store. It's no longer available online either. I should have ordered it earlier. The cheap skirts I was planning to order online didn't look good on me. I'm glad the FS expired, so I didn't order them.
...
Why did you return it? That's on my list to buy. Are you talking about this one? http://www.express.com/metallic-r.../index.pro
...
I like it in the blue print too. Let me know what you think about it, if you order it. Kurpee's review makes me think twice about ordering it.
...
yay! glad you got to try stuff on! this way at least you have a better feel for their size. and i'm glad things fit you better! alvs' dress is probably flattering on big boob girls. it didn't flatter my body as much.

no, i returned the metallic lace one. i ordered it 3 times - a 0 and 2 2's. i returned the 0 and the first 2 bc i ended up getting it cheaper the 2nd time. but i'm not sure if i'm keeping it - it's the same style as the striped one that has no stretch, but the striped is much more flattering on me. my tummy doesn't look as good in the metallic lace one. i don't have a lot of opportunities to wear dresses like that anyway so i'm trying not to have too many of them. it is definitely cute tho!

i'm not trying that dress in the blue print, only because i have another dress in the blue print (strapless one) that i like.

Whee off to check. you may want to call them to make sure you're getting your points... i had to have mine manually added.

got a target beauty bag.

also, these lace camis [express.com] are long. i wouldn't want to keep them, but i bought 2 for next to nothing with reward Frown i don't mind these with a little ruching effect just so it's the right length, but these are long. i have one from some time ago and it's not this long.
...
i don't know. mine has always been showing up. the updates are not as fast as i would like them to be.
...
long is good for me! i hate that a lot of my camis are short! hope i got my beauty bag too!

SAS at my store was not really impressive. Found one pair of SE pants ($10 more than the online price) and a few pairs of underwear. Wasn't really thrilled Frown

Kind of a good thing. I didn't need anything else anyhow!!
Agree. I usually like the Summer SA better. the SA were super nice,and everyone else, except one lady who got pissed at me cause of ds stroller and pushed him out of the way and didnt say anything to me or put him back. I called her out, but she ignored me. The lines went smooth and I had to do an online return, and since they wouldn't accept the $10 of $50 coupon (my old stor in fl would Frown) I didnt buy anything! I liked online shopping better this time around. BRas were higher in stores.


However, I did get ds a black peacot at gymboree for their $13.99 and under sale ...
And Sephora I got a free peerfume cause I bought one of those deluxe mini samples. Those are totally the way to go you get several deluxe minis and then get to pick out a fragrance from those minis.

Yay beauty bags!

I bought that cami too. I hope it's not too long, i figured it would be kinda long based on where it hit on the model, but not by much. Hoping it doesn't look too bad.

I like the summer SAS better too - but I guess I bought so much online, there wasn't much left for me to find in store. I did get 3 pairs of panties to match my bras that were sold out online, but other than that - I just got the SE pants (I wear them for pajamas, most comfortable thing ever) and they did let me use my $10/$50 so I was happy. If they hadn't, I wouldn't have bought the pants I did.

Hooray on a good deal for DS's coat! Oh, I would have been SO mad if someone touched my kid or stroller without saying anything. UGH!

I need more perfume like i need a hole in the head. I have almost every one from VS and I have hardly used the DKNY and Versace I bought while I was preggo. I usually hope that I win a couple perfumes from the Allure giveaways in August laugh out loud

I have the same problem, heart dresses, a lot of them fancy but this Cinderella has no ball to go to Stick Out Tongue Since FS is finally showing up for me, I'm going to pick up the stripey dress ($39 after discount) - that's 60% off so that's good right? I know you girls were saying to buy on sale, not on clearance but in addition to not having the free shipping that you gals do, I also couldn't get the tier to work on things that were on sale.

yes, pick it up. i find it less dressy and it's really a nice dress! (tho, you belong in the big-boob category, so you have a different body type than me so it may fit you differently)

i got it for $40 and i consider it a steal. i would keep the metallic lace one for $50 if i loved it as much as i love that striped one. i'm trying to figure out if the metallic lace one would be dressy/slinky enough for a vegas club. if so, i may keep it for the clubs.

tier works on sale but not on clearance. i.e. it won't work on .99 ending items, but will work on the 30%, 40%, b1g1 50% off etc sales.

There are the purple shorts. I'm wearing them to the ballpark tonight!
