Quote from PordaPoddy :
Confession, I went tho express for a PA and came home with more stuff.. then made am online order to snag another ruched dress that came back in stock. Seriously considering the cc now since I could buy DH's wardrobe there too and the quality seems consistently above VS... Man, I'm in trouble Alvs, Kurpee and Nerdi - what have thou gotten me in to

Blush2
Had a terrific time, thanks! Really gives me hope for a future where relatives can visit and we can all enjoy ourselves. Smilie I really had no idea it could be so easy... Mom always made it seem like it was a horrible burden and hassle. Doesn't have to be! woot
Bonk About time to get an Express card! Seriously though, I really like the quality of Express' clothing. The only thing I've hated was this one cocoon sweater because it pilled almost immediately, but I was in desperate need of sweaters so even though I knew the fabric wasn't as good, I needed something. Their regular v-neck sweaters are nice and the cardigans! I like how they have styles for those not so fashionably inclined like myself with the nice solid colors.

I am stocked on dress shirts and DBF loves their dress shirts too. I bought a dress a couple years back that I'm going to finally wear to a wedding this July. Whee

It just makes me sad that every time I shop at Express, I buy multiple colors of one thing I love and end up with 500+ CC bill Faint So...I try not to look, but you gals are pulling me back!

Quote from GoHeels :
I meant to thank you for recommending the knot strap dress. Now, I'm going to have to figure out a way to get FS, before the other colors I want sell out.

I saw a woman at the beach last Sunday in that Gorgeous bikini. I immediately thought of you girls.
laugh out loud about the Gorgeous bikini! That's one of the things I'm afraid of when I wear bikini pieces out is that people will recognize where I shop. So another reason to stay in a secluded area on the beach!

Teehee You sound like me back in the day, stocking up on all the colors before they sell out! OMG My wishlist is full of the new bras Faint

Quote from leftie :
DEFINITELY get the green!!! It is sooo pretty. It's not too dressy at all! You can definitely wear it as a cover up and the good thing about the embellishments, is it makes it more beach-to-wherever appropriate. :thumbup :
Thanks for the additional info. I'm ordering black & green tonight.

Quote from nerdgirl :
my dress came in!! i just picked it up... much better in my size, but now i reeeeally have to get spanx, kuz it catches on my love handles. :sadwal k: what are the best spanx that get rid of love handles?? mine are pretty severe. also it's too big up top. made for you big boob ladies! :lo l: they were trying to convince me to sew in pads but it's at least an inch too big so i'll probably get it altered. (that'd be a LOT of pads) is it weird that when the saleslady said another girl came in right after me and ordered the dress, i was sad? :lol :
I'm sorry you're not thrilled with your dress at the moment. hug Add an accessory to make it uniquely you. I'm totally opposed to wearing Spanx, so I can't help you there. I do have some kind of shaper in my closet that's never been worn. Could you have it taken out a little to help with the love handle problem? Just a thought. It's a beautiful dress. I want you to feel special in it. Smilie

Enjoy the rain. shake head Unfortunately, there's more to come. It's wreaking havoc on my arthritis. We won't be spending the day at the beach tomorrow like we try to do. I hope it starts to clear up by Monday & you have a great vacation. Tomorrow sounds like a good shopping day to me.

Got it on the dot print. What was I thinking? : teehee:

Let me know what you think about the new sushi place. We're always happy to try new sushi restaurants. drool

I can actually wear that dress w/o a bra & my boobs definitely aren't perky anymore. shake head I'll need pasties, but it's the first built-in bra garment of any type that I've tried & would wear w/o a bra. It has a lot of support. As a matter of fact, I've never even tried pasties before. I hope I'll be okay with them.
I think if I told DH I needed pasties to wear with my dress he'd tell me forget the dress. Evillaugh

I will let you know when we go, if the place ever opens. It was supposed to open a month ago I think.

So tonight I broke DH of his hatred of animal print. I wore my leopard print shirt and high waisted black skirt from Express with a pair of Jessica Simpson platform peep toes and he was complimenting me on how great I looked. Faint All this time and I could of had a closet full of animal print. laugh out loud

That's because it's YOUR dress, no one else is supposed to have it. Wink

I have the Slim Cognito. [spanx.com] That sucker is like a vacuum sealer, really sucks you in. I hate wearing it and only wear it on special occasions. I think I bought it on QVC.

I don't think my DH even knows what pasties are, but he's excited about the possibility of me wearing a dress w/o a bra. I tried the white dress on for him last night & he told me to order the teal, coral, & black in it. laugh out loud

Men don't know what they like. Sometimes, we have to tell them. Wink With a sexy skirt & platform pumps, he probably didn't even notice the top. Stick Out Tongue Now you can go animal print wild.

Debby is a tropical storm that's drenching FL in rain. It's definitely not a good time to be at the beach. Poor alvs & mini-alvs.

There was a FS code for one day only a couple days ago. Obviously, it's expired. What are you ordering? I couldn't find $125 in clearance that I wanted, when the code was active.
