I average 3-4 SAS preview orders of just bras and panties. VS Shopping Bag allows 30 line items per order, so I average 40-60 bras per SAS. Then the difficult decision of what to send back. Hope you feel better. #donjudgeme

I need more swim tops or I will have to go topless to enjoy my new swim bottoms! Luckily, my next big vaca is in October.

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
It worked out. I got a lot of stuff done around the house.

Glad to hear things are still going well!!

I am glad I am done with Father's Day with nuSO. He lives for vaca early that morning.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
They do swipe the dl....even if you have receipts
Yuck!

Quote from GirlOnTheBeach :
It depends....if your store uses a little machine called a TRE, then YES your ID will get swiped and it keeps track of your returns. But if it does not have the little machine, then the register just prompts the cashier to enter in your name and address from the ID. Nothing actually gets swiped. My store has never used the TRE, but I used it when I used to work at Express. It just varies by region, I'm pretty sure.
I did not see it, but I will look/ask next time I am there.

Quote from slickydoll :
Just got back from SAS> Not too exciting, but picked up some bras/panties in hopes of a PA in 2 weeks.They let me use survey q's. No decent sleepwear or PINK from what I saw.

There were PINK yoga pants with bling that said Chicago (wtf? not in chicago. lol)
I only went to one VS B&M, and I did not buy anything. I was actually amused by the women plowing through the bra and panty bins. I could not think of one bra I needed. I was on the phone with nuSO, so when he realized I was in VS he was not happy. I did not even see any sleepwear/lingerie I wanted. Walked out empty-handed.

Quote from Wuzzlefield :
It's tomorrow. Alvs, I'll let you know if TBS goes B2G2 tomorrow after I get home from the floorset tonight - it's been a while but usually they do it during the sale.

A lot of the bras I saw at VS SAS were cheaper online than in store. I still bought though... Hopefully can do a PA later or will have to sit down and figure out what to return.
Any update on TBS at BBW? I love that stuff.

Quote from kurips :

Last SAS, I kept a lot because it was the first SAS after my nuBraSize. This time, I am trying to convince myself to send a lot of it back. I think I am only keep 10 bras. I am getting better at this! Yea! It helps that there were not a lot of cute colors this time. Traditionally, I do better (at returning) during the summer SAS verus the winter one. The Fall/Holiday Bras are always amazing. Here's to waiting until the winter SAS!!! bounce bounce bounce

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.
Yes - they're half off

Sorry I didn't get here last night... everyone is sick/on vacation at my store so I'm there pretty much 24/7. ANYWAY, hba123 is right - they're still B2G1. Hopefully they'll go B2G2 but they don't usually tell us until the day before. I'll let ya'll know when I know! Smilie

Went back to Express today Facepalm
Picked up another pair of the Sailor shorts in linen [express.com] . They are pretty big and stretchy, so I sized down to a 2 (looks like I'm a 4 in every other pair of shorts from Express).

Flat-front short [express.com] - nice sheen, nice structure, great length, but still too roomy for the leg holes.

Yoke front pleated short [express.com]This makes me so mad, I just bought these today for $26 in-store and now they're $16 and the FS is gone! Angry

Went to another VS, walked out with nothing. It was very liberating woot

Quote from nerdgirl :
i got the twist back tank in red xs. i should have gotten s. the xs straps are too short on me! the shirt is a little too fitted for my liking. not a big deal tho - it would have been nice since it was so cheap, but it's def not a must for me - i have too many tanks anyway.
I had trouble with it too- I had the gaping in S, XS is on the way but I'm skeptical. Question, could I have used a tier on the striped ruched dress? I think so far, the only thing I've ordered/bought that I could use that kind of coupon on is the sailor shorts b/c they're 40% off... Scratchchin

Quote from kurips :

[i need to feel better about myself]
I buy around 10 to try out styles and patterns, keep no more than 5, try to limit myself to 3-4. I'd have to double check to see if I'm even following that guideline this time Teehee

Stick leg twin, how are theseneon shorts [express.com]? Do we swim in them?
Ladies- in the colorblock skirt, does the green part flap out away from your body a little in the back (at your hamstrings)? It's stretchy enough that I could have tried the 0, but the 2 seemed right except for that.

they run big. I have a 00 in pink and they are loose. The 0 I can pull down without unbuttoning.

I'm probably at the low end of the spectrum laugh out loud

I only ordered 11 bras this SAS and I will prob keep 10? Undecided about the 11th because it is *super* padded...
