Even though I have been off work for days, I have not shopped. Yea! You all are helping because I just cannot get into Express. I feel like I will definitely see other people wearing what I buy from there. And that is a big pet peeve of mine. (Express is super popular here. And the age range is so vast...from 15 - 40.)
I see this when I'm in the store.... mostly college-aged to about 50.

You said you made A-list without CC, do you still get FS for online orders? Just curious Big Grin Cause if not, shoulda got their CC anyway!
Nope, unfortunately Red333 is right Sadwalk I'm working on the CC, got to figure out which to drop- VS or Macy's Scratchhead . My B-day's coming up soon though and I wonder what a 'premium gift' is Greedy

nod they still have tags on anyway Teehee

are you asking about premium gift for express? it's a $40 mailer. double-dippable. says to be used on 1 item, but it is a $40 off purchase online. in the store, i was not limited to 1 item either, but possibly some sa's would not let you even though the system would allow it Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Quote from nerdgirl :
:wave2 : i'm back! we got back super late last night.

i'm not sure what details i should share. :lol : all i can say is, my friends are troopers and we all survived, but just barely. man... so tired. i'm glad i took today off so i could sleep in and try to regain a little bit of energy.

vegas weather was strange this weekend... there were random t-storms! but it helped temper the heat so it wasn't as unbearably hot as it normally is in the middle of july. i wore my vs coverup [victoriassecret.com] and all my friends loved it and wanted one too. : coverlaf: i'm about to link it for them bc the clothing shipping code works on it. i want to order it with the 10 off certs also, but i'm not sure if that'd be too much instruction for them. they're not big couponers like me and whenever i try to get others to use coupons they never seem to take to it as well.

anyway, we didn't do much shopping (just walked into the chanel store at bellagio so my friend could gawk at the purse she will one day buy for herself - i looked at cosmetics), did some tanning by the pool (i tanned the most bc my skin soaks up color), spent a day at a cabana by the pool which was awesome, did lots of clubbing, lots of lounging around, and a teeny bit of gambling. it was totally my weekend - i won a lot where i usually lose. should have gambled more! :lo l:
Yay, for winning money. More for the honeymoon. woot How many dresses did you end up wearing? Did you wear the wig? I don't think I would have had the nerve to wear it. I'm glad you all had a great time.

Quote from nerdgirl :
sorry, i meant to link it in the original post. this one [victoriassecret.com] - i loved it when it first came out, and am glad i got to use it! it's so easy to use when you're lounging by the pool. i have one in white coming, and i'm debating getting more colors!
I have bought several coverups this year, & you're making me want this one. Nono1 I must resist. The black & white animal print is different from anything I have though. Facepalm

Quote from red333 :
Do express online orders come with PBOS booklets? I just ordered my dress in black (addict). I'm hoping it comes with an extra coupon book Smilie

Also, I had a really great experience at VS yesterday. I saw they had the orange/pink crochet gorgeous bikini. They only had one top (my size) and two bottoms (one my size). They are on sale online but full price in store. I asked if they would match the online price ($36 and $16.50). I looked it up on my phone and showed it to her. My total was $52.50 - $10 survey for spending $50 - $30 angel reward (expired as of march...but my VS takes expired coupons all the time) = $12.50. That's a long way from the $71 price tag!

If we see something in store that's cheaper online, I guess we can ask to price match...or maybe I got lucky.
Great deal at VS! High Five I've never gotten any coupons in my Express orders, but I haven't been shopping there as long as most of the girls. They would know better.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
To keep it simple, I would try to stay with the same color palette or texture. Pick up a turquoise bead necklace or plain puka shell necklace. Or a simple pendant necklace (perhaps with a large turquoise stone). I'm trying to find examples of the turquoise for you, but they're all much more saturated than the shade in that bracelet.

And yes, Kurpee, Alvs and Nerdi make my wallet hurt... but on the other hand- them plus you and everyone else is opening me up to new styles and ideas. : D I still check in with Jseverydayfashions for ideas on mixing/matching. I feel more grown up now that I can get rid of my shorts from high school : O .
Quote from azn1x6flame :
About that braclet, I agree with porda, go for a turquoise stone, similar structure and color. Or you could try opposite and do a coral necklace or gold necklace. I don't do costume jewelry, I just see these images in my head thinking it will work : lol:
Thanks for the advice girls. A turquoise necklace is a good idea. I'm trying really hard to convince myself that I like the bracelets. I ordered them with 2 other sets http://www.express.com/pearl-and-.../index.pro & http://www.express.com/pearl-and-.../index.pro, with the B2G1 promo. I just realized the bronze set wasn't what I ordered, but that's what they sent. I ordered this set http://www.express.com/pearl-and-...pro#jsLink in Powder. I really like the set they sent. It just happens to be the one I got for free. I wouldn't feel right returning the 2 I paid for & keeping the free set, so I'm trying to learn to like one of the other sets. I think I like the blue set more than the black/white set, so I'm trying to find jewelry to go with it that I really like. Learning to like costume jewelry is definitely a work in progress for me. Embarrassment

Shh... Another dress added to the wishlist. Smack

I missed Icey's post on age. Are you all saying I'm too old for Express? What am I supposed to be wearing? Pull-on polyester & cotton pants with an elastic waist? Stick Out Tongue Trust me, when you all hit 40, you won't think it's so old anymore. I tell my sisters the older I get the younger they seem. My oldest sister is 19 years older than I. The older girls used to seem ancient to me, but I enjoy hanging out with them now. Our perception of age changes as we age ourselves.

Thanks for letting us know. I think I'll pass on the $5 freebie. I'm glad we know that ahead of time.

icey says 15-40 is the age range of express shoppers. ime, i don't see young teens shopping there, more of college-aged girls. also i couldn't accept the 40 since i'm getting close to that Teehee i said 50 since i see many women much older than me shopping there.

p.s. i don't remember how old you are. can you remind me, if you don't mind? maybe by pm Secret

I don't mind at all. I'm 44 & I saw women that were obviously older than me in Express.

Thanks for the Limited deal.

I got some of that lip balm, but haven't tried it yet.

I cannot do it. I am horrified when I see women in my clothing.

Waiting to see how many VS swimsuits on this season's Big Brother. Every year I see at least one. Most years I see several of them.

Glad you had fun! The weather here has been strange a few days ago, and it's probably the weather you experienced there in Vegas. Gross and muggy and random rain.

Did you use the name Crystal? Wink Hope you got some fab gifts!!

i don't think i used crystal actually. i was far too drunk for making up stuff, unfortunately!

hehe it's always fun to win when you gamble. i usually go in thinking i'm going to lose whatever i start with - and that it's just entertainment money. it's safer that way. it was fun, and my friend and i got free drinks.

my friends made me wear the wig. it was so bright, and paired with my teal dress and hot pink boa, i was soooo colorful - i loved it! the wig started to come off by the end of the night tho - my head's too big, i think. laugh out loud

i'm not huge on most bathing suit coverups, but i really love this one. i usually never buy things full price, but i did order that one bc it was just so cool i needed to have it. (i'm glad it eventually went on sale tho!) it would have been perfect for the pool party club we ended up at sunday night, but no one else wanted to wear a bathing suit so i ended up just wearing a short skirt and tank instead.

Whoa! I am not calling anyone old. I am not saying anyone is too old to wear Express. I am saying in my area that I see ladies as young as high schoolers and as old as their 40s wearing/shopping at Express. That means there is a larger chance for me to see women in the same clothing as me if I began shopping there. My point is I do not like seeing women wearing my clothing. I REALLY do not like it!
