. . . 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.
. . .
Totally agree. I just got a pair of lace waist PINK panties. Washed once. First time I put them on, my fingers went right through the lace putting several holes in it. Total crap. Annoyed
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Express clothes are great for the price if you know how to shop it. Lots of people say they are expensive but I don't think so. I wouldn't pay full price for anything that VS makes. I'm keeping the bra top dresses and some of the swimsuits and bras. That's it.
I am a cheap ba$tard, and Express has always seemed expensive to me. VS of course- too. I'll agree that Express' pricing has always seemed more justified. I bought this outfit: white striped shawl jacket/shorts [express.com] which in all likelihood I will never wear Facepalm , but the orig price of $98 seems justified- you look at the tailoring and the feel of the fabric.... makes me think "yeah, I could see that" .

What! So one cert per account? So I have like 7 and can only use one?! Mad I hope that's not the case!
It's the case for now, maybe it will change. I had to guest checkout 4 times last night. Mad
Hope you had fun in Portland! Don't worry, while it is sunny today - it was freezing here on the 4th, and stormy more inland. You didn't miss anything. nod

I was going to buy the SLT Tease fragrance [victoriassecret.com]as a present ($45) for someone and I had a $10 off of $50 survery coupon....Anyone know of a $5 filler I can get in store? Or any other good deals in store that could go with it? I know they sometimes have a "get the lotion for $5 with the fragrance", but I've only seen that online.

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
i search the specific item on ebay to see what others sell the item for. and check completed listings too if they sell and for how much.

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

... then I double that price but add "RARE" or "BLING" to the title of the listing. Sells like hotcakes.

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.
what style jeans did you buy... bootcut, skinny, leggings? they have the mia fit back again and it's the highest rise they ever had (they call them mid-rise) and i loved them, and was sad they discontinued them. they have only the jeggings [express.com] though. i received my 2 and 4 today in short. first off, the length is definitely not 28"... probably 30 or 31. in stellas, i'm a 4 in extreme stretch and 2 in others (my waist being the limiting factor as usual). in mia extreme stretch, i'm a 2.

It's a great jacket. I have it in white, and I ordered the blue yesterday!

I thought I was the only one! I bought a pair of PINK sleep pants during the SAS and there was a hole after the FIRST wash! (I hadn't even worn it yet! I always wash my clothes before wearing them for the first time). Too bad I don't have the receipt, or I'd take it in for a return...

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to consider it. My family is pretty good about clearing out my stash though. laugh out loud

I ordered the STELLA BOOT CUT REGULAR FIT JEAN http://www.express.com/stella-boo.../index.pro in Medium & Dark. They're 2s, & they're long on me also. I wish they were a little shorter. Did they ever carry the Mia style in regular jeans? Those sound perfect for me, but I don't think jeggings look good on me.

I'm glad you mentioned I would need a 4 in the Stella Extreme Stretch http://www.express.com/stella-ext...704c7b0a54. I have them in my cart in dark waiting to find another pair I want to order with them.

IMO if they're not amazing, return them. it sounds like you are dissatisfied with 2 aspects of them - the back pockets and the rise. i would return them if i were you. i hate when jeans flatten my butt - i already have a flat-ish butt so i hate when it's worsened.

Express added a lot of jewelry to clearance, if anyone is interested.

I'm going to try them on for my DH to see what he thinks. The only reason I'm hesitant to return them is I literally don't have one pair of jeans that fit.
