i was able to use my bday reward in store today but i was in a hurry. i only browsed the sleepwear which was additional 50%. i should have looked into the 75% beauty too.

also went to express. got me a skirt (the diagonal (or is it zigzag) mini in gray) and the crochet back bubble top. and a few bracelet sets. and a necklace. i was able to exchange the bright blue jeggings for a stella barely boot jeans. i told them it was a gift. they had to search the item by phone number first (i gave dh's laugh out loud ).

got a 15 off 30/30 off 75 q for express in email, but it's only for a grand opening store in palmdale, ca. i'll link it here [expressfashion.com] but i don't think any regulars are near there.

got my return credits and also the label credits from the cs phone call. all of the 5.99 credits went back on card even tho some of the returns were old (and will be coming on gc).

forgot that it's my bonus points month. thought i'd be heavily negative for AR but it's not that bad.

i tried this dress [express.com] on in black... very slim and elegant! i resisted because i have the skirt version in denim and figured i could use any top and be more versatile that way. at the right sale + coupon, i think i will not be able to resist.

also my store is sometimes ahead of online with new stuff!

I'm going to try both of these dresses, when they go on sale. http://www.express.com/belted-chi...crumb=true & http://www.express.com/metallic-r.../index.pro. I liked the nude ruched dress better than the last one, but I missed it. Frown That's what I get for waiting on my card to get here, before ordering.

Went today to VS and got PAs. The sales associate did not know how to do it so she asked the one next to her, who said no PAs on sale stuff. I knew this was incorrect and asked for the manager who confirmed that I was right. Even though the VSX sports bras are hanging with the sleepwear, they are still grouped as bras so no PAs there. Still good deal--got back $76.
Nice deal. High Five

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Saw this strappy back bra [victoriassecret.com]and totally loving it! Hopefully they have it in stores to try. Only thing I would worry about is possible back fat or skin being pinched by the straps and showing up strangely underneath tops.
I thought that bra was cute too. It kind of looks like even Candice has back fat. I can't imagine what it would look like on me. EEK! Since it's a racerback bra & I don't have one, I may try it anyway. I don't expect anyone but my DH to see the fat, & it won't be the first time he's seen it. laugh out loud

Pretty dress!! I might have to try this on at Express!

And yeah, laugh out loud It does look like Candice has back fat! But I think I've come to the conclusion that those models probably wear a bra that's one size too small and they wear it really really high. I've noticed that their band strap is like right up at their armpits Crazy

On another note, I finally got all the pieces to my Goregous bikini in the marine blue and it is amazing! I think I will have to order the black...

Hi ladies!!! Hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start.

Reviewing two items...

From VS:
  • Sequin Tank Dress [victoriassecret.com] in green/XS
    LOVE! The color really pops against a tan. Fits TTS (a bit looser than other VS XS items). Admittedly, when I bought this, I didn't realize it was ribbed b/c the picture and color swatches don't show ribbing. IMO, sometimes ribbed clothing can look a bit more "casual" than I'd like -- but this dress is awesome. I also ordered the white, but I am returning that one. It just doesn't compare to the green.

From Express:
  • Sequin Snakeskin Mini Skirt [express.com]in XS
    REALLY CUTE! Fit is TTS. This is a great price for a skirt of this quality (sequins all over and lined!). My only small complaint is that if I don't tuck in my shirt/top, the waistband where the sequins meet can be a bit itchy. Otherwise, I absolutely heart the way this skirt looks.

Bought some other stuff...but they are OOS now.

I got the knot strap bra top dress today & really like it. Now I want to order 2 more colors, but ship25 has expired. Sadwalk I can wear it w/o a bra, but I'd need pasties to wear the white dress as anything other than a cover-up. For anyone interested in buying it, it comes to my knees. I needed a M for my chest area.

How tall are you GH? If you don't mind me asking. Thanks
