nerdi - i keep forgetting to say that i didn't like alvs's fave dress on me either. i thought it just looked square on me Teehee i guess i don't have the right figure to support the dress. i didn't fuss in it too long to try to make it grow on me since i thought i won't really have anywhere to wear it too.
did you try S or XS? neither were amazing on me but the XS looked better.

thanks for the affirmation. i'm glad it wasn't just me! i think i would need bigger boobs and a smaller waist for that dress to really shine.

I got this Crisscross dress [victoriassecret.com] today. I was very much looking forward to it. It was a HUGE disappointment. It just fit strangely and the straps for the back were TOO long. What kind of proportion does VS think we have anyway?! Also, the front had the boob area was already pre-shaped and I HATE that, it gave me cone-shaped boobs. Not attractive in my opinion.

I also got an insert that is for $10 off a future purchase in July, so check your packages ladies!

I guess I will be very wary of VS' new dresses and still to the tried and true ones. Now, to wait for the maxi skirt I was eying!

ETA: OMG, I see my beloved Knot Front Jersey dresses on clearance! I hope they are not clearancing that out and discontinuing it! Sadwalk a lot of the colors I didn't have and was eying is now OOS Sadwalk

OK, you ladies got me into Express Big Grin
That ruched dress is wiped out from my 2 malls, so I feel lucky that we can still snag it online. Anni, I think you're my booty double and Alvs, my booby double Coverlaugh

I concur that the scoopneck ruched dress [express.com] is fantastic! So comfy, such great quality. Suck that VS. Sly I picked up the green geometric print one in-store today, because I want a print, but have too much green- will probably just go with the pink from online and return this one.

High-waist color block skirt [express.com] I had my doubts, it never would have stood out to me on the rack, but after all the talk, I tried it and I loved it too! haha I'll keep the tag on until I use it.

SHORTS - after all, this was supposed to be my goal for the day. laugh out loud Fit notes: I've always had skinny legs that swim in shorts, I favor the slimmer cuts.

Sailor Shorts [express.com] - pretty short in length. Very comfy, easy pull-on with a little stretch in them. Lightweight. Got the bright pink, it's fairly opaque- so most panties should be fine under them. Never would have paid original price for them,
Yoke front pleated silky shorts [express.com] - Parachute-like material. Not my fav, I prefer a more structured fabric. Look nice in the deep brown. Feel very loose all over b/c of the fabric and poof out a little in the front.
Notch-back cuffed shorts - [express.com]I'm in b/w sizes on these, so frustrating! Size 2 wedges right up my chimichanga but size 4, the legs flare out from my legs too much. The fabric is wonderful- a nice structured medium weight with a sheen.
Flap pocket shorts [express.com] Fabric was in b/w the notch-back and the yoke-front silky shorts when it comes to weight/structure. They would have been cute if I could find a pair in a size I could zip up! Super bright red is on sale in-store, looks great.
Canvas Shorts
[gap.com] from the GAP, $28. I love these. I bought them in turquoise and black. Just the right length, just the right size leg hole for me. My one concern about them is wrinkling, so I'll wash 1 pair for now.
_____
Knit Dolman-sleeve top [gap.com] Another GAP find. These are $15 final sale in-store. After trying all the knit/crochet tops from Express and feeling like they just made me look chunky, turns out, a knit with no pattern is a winner! woot

i heart those gap shorts also!!! i only got 1 so far (charcoal) - i can attest that they do fine in the wash. Smilie what size did you get in those? i am really loving the gap this season. the length is perfect for me. i bought them when they were on special for $25 online, but didn't know what colors to get. now i'm thinking i should get black also.

They were on special for $25??? DohThat explains why they're all OOS online! Good to know! I got a size 2 in these. I'm worried about the black, b/c I can see wear lines near the pockets and I don't know how well canvas will hold that jet black that I want. I was looking at the patterned ones, but they want $10 more for those? Nono1

Oh man it's going to be a long night, I'm trying to finish cleaning downstairs, so I can move upstairs tomorrow...err. later today... Auntie comes Thursday morning! EEK!

Thanks Smilie I didn't buy much at Express but I'm rectifying that now, just got my cart below $250 so I can stomach the CC bill before I make the necessary returns Coverlaugh

Made it! The mall's entire A/C was out and VS only uses those super-hot halogen lights Faint Bought some Cinco de Mayo panties Dance13 , but mostly searched for new bras for my super-poor and wrongly sized aunt. Apparently 36D is an insanely popular size? Annoyed I picked her up some in her sister size and got gift receipts. 32DizzyDees selection sucked as always....
