My daughter met 2 of her friends for dinner one night and she and one of the others were wearing the same Express top. They all have the same dresses and always have to make sure not to wear the same one the same night.

laugh out loud yeah. i run into one of my students (there was another one in the same visit but i wasn't sure if she actually was my student) while i was shopping there. also, another one of my students also wore express most of the times. because of her, i wear my older express clothes because she had the current ones.

also, i tend to stick to a brand. when i taught in hs back home, students knew what my favorite store was Teehee

Y'all may have seen this on the new already, but this was our fireworks show thanks youtube! From our front window we saw only 2 of the barges ...

Wow, I bet that was scary for the people close to the barges. That's a major malfunction. EEK!

Quote from nerdgirl :
wow, that's an awesome deal on that dress! i think i paid twice that for mine. it's a VERY stretchy dress, so maybe a 6 will work for you, even if 4 would be better... here's to hoping...!
I was so excited to see it I probably would have ordered a 12. laugh out loud That was the dress I wanted more than any others that went OOS. Hopefully, it won't be too much dress for me. If it is, I'll probably see if a professional can alter it. I'd take a chance on them ruining it for $24.

Slap

Quote from ayoungpretender :
I would be scared to alter something that's gathered like that, since there are so many ways it could come out horribly wrong. That's really pretty though, I hope you can get it to work for you. I bet it's pretty flattering on a lot of body types too.
That's not good news. Frown If it's obvious that it's too big, I may still take a chance for the price I got it at. I'd be willing to lose $24 for the possibility of it fitting.

Quote from nerdgirl :
you already stole her striped ruched dress! : lol:
That's what I was thinking. Kurpee's a thief. Bonk

Quote from crazymonkey1980 :
I never got any with my orders, but if they are a PITA I'll pass trying to contact VS, they have stopped answering my emails, lol, I wounder if they have an alternate email ...
Use [email protected] to email them. It takes forever to get a reply with the customer care email address. They must have a lot more employees in the order dept., than they do in the customer service dept.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
maybe they will fix the one time use thing if people complain.
i was wide awake last night. my air was off for most of the day yesterday so i just sat around waiting on the ac dude.
I'm hoping there will enough people who flood their Facebook acct. with complaints to make them change it.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
The bra deal last night was awesome. I don't think we'll get anything close to that again. I really was really bummed about it – even though it isn't a huge deal laugh out loud I'm getting kinda burnt out on VS. Nothing great coming up, them being stupid…ugh. The other thing I noticed now is they charge an extra $4 if you wear a DD, or DDD. The quality at VS isn't impressive at all. It seems like they charge more for their items and the quality is decreasing. 2 pairs of lacie panties I bought during SAS came apart at the seams, one pair of cotton panties came apart after less than 10 washes, the one incredible bra I had stretched all out and got those gross elastic string things on it super fast, not to mention I bought 3 pairs of yoga pants in the same size and all 3 fit different. Same cut and everything. During the SAS, one of the bras I received to try on was stained. Seriously VS?! It looked like a lipstick stain. Grossed me out.
This is my biggest VS complaint. Their sizing is so inconsistent. They need to fix that.

Quote from nerdgirl :
it's ok - me too. i didn't get in on the bra - i just reordered some swimwear i had ordered previously. i just wanted to use some certs.
Me three. I hate missing a deal.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
On another note - I listed all of my VS tote bags, dogs, beach towels and other GWP stuff on ebay and over the last month I have made over $500. Granted about $200 of that was some cosmetics stuff I had sitting around unopened, but a good bit was all VS items.
Gotta love free money. High Five

Too funny. It's a good thing they're not celebrities. They would have been featured on AOL with the caption "Who wore it best?"laugh out loud

it's very easy to get addicted and stick to 1 brand! i've been on an express kick since y'all talked me into it - about 95% of my new stuff this year has been from express! laugh out loud

This is sort of a long-shot, but I know some of you ladies do drug store shopping.

I think I've mentioned it on here, but I get crippling migraines. When I have bad ones, I have nasal spray medicine and shots to take (since I throw up pills), but they are very expensive and often make me sick as well. Thus, they are more emergency medicines for when I have a bad one.

When I feel a migraine coming on, I take excedrine migraine because it is able to nip them when I just have aura. However, about 6 months ago, all excedrine migraine was recalled (for broken pills...not anything chemical). I have been looking for the last 6 months, and it is still not back on shelves. Stores are telling me it may be several months. Unfortunately, the CVS generic doesn't work as well for me (possibly because of coating? I don't know). If anyone out there has excedrine migraine that they didn't turn in, please contact me. I took my last pill last week and don't know when I can get more.

My oral qualifying exam is next week, and I usually get them with stress. This is not good Frown

i have been selling on ebay a lot this last couple of months and i'm making a lot of money laugh out loud i'm too embarassed to say how much since it would show how much crap i have.

i haven't gotten into selling totes yet. i had given many of the dupes away. i just didn't think i'd sell them since i thought they would cost a lot to ship. i like selling the beauty items which cost just around $2 to ship.

eta: my clutter has gone down a lot, and when i have no more to sell, i won't have income anymore laugh out loud

nice! i don't have time to do this much, unfortunately. but i have been trying to unload some of my excess beauty stash! unfortunately it's ever-growing so it's a neverending process. laugh out loud i list in bulk and then i don't do anything for months. haven't sold anything for weeks! i think it's time to replenish my listings.

mine isn't growing much anymore. i'm over it... plus there aren't a lot of beauty deals to be had too. i just need to get over express now and i'll be all set laugh out loud dh wanted to buy a car since our car seems small now with the Baby and i'm telling him i am helping his with the down payment. we're also talking about slowing down on my express shopping, and it does make sense, i even acknowledge that i have way more than i can wear... but it's so much fun to shop Weeping i told himwe need to find me a new hobby that doesn't require a lot of money.

also i have things here i want to sell, but i don't sell them when the prices are low on ebay.

I got my Express jeans today. I'm undecided on whether I like them. First, I'm glad I got Stella jeans instead of Zelda. I can't imagine how low-cut Zelda is. The Stella jeans are so low-cut on me that the pockets cover my booty & extend beyond it. They lengthen it & make it look kind of flat. If my DH notices that too, I'll return them. If not, I'll keep them. They do fit nicely, but they would look better if they were cut a little higher or the pockets were shorter.

I do that too. At first, I bought a lot of VS clothes. Now I've moved on to Exp. & only look at the VS clothes that are linked here.

I need to stop shopping so much myself. I should really find something else to do too. Let us know, if you find a cheaper alternative that you can do from home.

How do you know, when eBay prices are going to be low? I should list some stuff too, but I don't know when to list them. If we all start listing, eBay will be flooded with all the same stuff. laugh out loud
