Quote from PordaPoddy :
What a weird day, eh? As the news rolled in, it just kept getting closer and closer to home. He grew up and his parents continue to live ~2 miles away from my parent's house. Next I find out he's a Neuroscience Ph.D. drop out, which as some may know, is kind of where I'm at right now. I thought the similarities would stop there. Then, I find out he went to undergrad where and when I was TAing Neuroscience classes. My parents and brother called to check on me. They were worried I had had him as a student and would be upset. Honestly, I forget 95% of my students, but did not see him on a casual search of my attendance rosters. Good, I don't want to reflect on it. Really, the only thing on my mind is - we need to embrace and support mental health services, damn grad school is a pressure cooker that will amplify an pre-existing problems, and why the hell do we still have assault weapons? Maybe there would have been half as many casualties if the guy had to spend more time reloading. Frown Bummed, very bummed. /rant
That's absolutely incredible. What an awful story. I'm constantly amazed by how small the world can be.

I am not much of a movie-goer and wanted to see it here in CA. Now I am kinda nervous ... now there will be metal dectetors everywhere. Irnoically, Batmin Begins was on last night on FX. I don't know where I am going with this, lol.

You know he wanted to get caught, and I dunno why someone would do that?
That's nuts!

You know, I was hypothesizing that he may want to get into an insane asylum and recruit as Joker did as per the video game, Arkham Asylum. I really wonder why...?

I'm lucky. He's definitely a keeper. heart I don't know what I'd do without him.

I tried on quite a few Express items last night. I'll try to start working on reviews now.

Scoop-neck Tank in White & Black http://www.express.com/scoop-neck...pro#jsLink. These tanks are cut higher than the VS tanks & show less cleavage. That's a big plus for me. The picture of the white tank is more accurate. Maybe it's just me, but the black tank appears to be cut lower in the picture. The white tank is a lot more see-through than VS's white tanks. Wearing it alone would look obscene, IMHO. Keep

Ruched Cowl Shell Top in Royal Blue http://www.express.com/ruched-cow...pro#jsLink. This is the top I forgot I had ordered. It goes really well with the sequins in the sequin stripe mini skirt. My DH really liked the combo. I'm on the fence about it, because I had my mind set on matching the stripes instead. Crazy I'm probably going to go ahead & wear it with the skirt. I ordered a small & it fits perfectly. It seemed to have less ruching on me, which I prefer. The cowl neck is cut fairly low & a bit awkward. It didn't turn under well. Since it was cheap & it will work with the skirt, if I don't find something I like better... Keep

Ruched Cowl Shell Top in Venetian Blue http://www.express.com/ruched-cow...rue#jsLink. This is a beautiful color. I like this top much more than the above top. The cowl neck is cut higher & has more structure. Unfortunately, it was the top I paid full price for. I didn't think it was worth that price, so I returned it. I plan to reorder it for a better price. Return, but rebuy.

Stella Extreme Stretch Barely Boot Jean in Dark & Black http://www.express.com/stella-ext.../index.pro. I ordered my regular size in these. They feel like they're going to be tight, when you're pulling them up. At least, they did over my hips. There's a lot of stretch, so they end up fitting nicely. They're much more flattering than the regular Stella & Zelda jeans are on me. The length is about 1" to 1 1/2" too long. I'll just have to wear them with wedges or boots with heels. For some reason, the dark jeans looked better on me than black did. Confused That's just nitpicking though. Keep

Stella Skinny Leg Jean in Dark http://www.express.com/stella-ski.../index.pro. These are also more flattering on me than the regular Stella & Zelda jeans. The length is perfect for me. Keep

Stella Boot Cut Regular Fit Jean in Dark http://www.express.com/stella-boo.../index.pro. If you remember, I tried these earlier. I had decided to keep the dark color & returned the medium color. While I was trying on the other jeans last night, I decided to try them again. I'm glad I did. Compared to the others they were very unflattering. My booty looked flat & the long pockets made my legs look stumpy. I think I was just desperate for jeans, which is why I had decided to keep them earlier. Return

Zelda Barely Boot Jean in Dark http://www.express.com/zelda-bare.../index.pro. These looked a little better than the Stella boot cut, but not nearly as good as the other 3 pair. They flattened out my booty almost as much, but didn't shorten my legs quite as bad. If I didn't know how much better the others looked, I may have kept these. Since I now have 3 pair of jeans that that fit well, I can be more choosy. Return

To be continued.....

I finally found a size 6 in the striped ruched dress in clearance. I hope it actually ships.

Yep, I have that skirt in blue & black. Teehee I originally bought blue, then ordered black for a great price. It ended up being less than $10. I decided not the get the ruffle top, but I'm definitely ordering the "tick tock" top.
...
I tried that dress on again last night. After trying them on, I'm thinking I should try an XS also. If it will stretch to accommodate my chest, XS would definitely fit better from the chest down. I have the green, blue, & print. My DH & I both preferred green on me over the other 2.
i hope you get the striped ruched dress!

i think porda has your size chest... and she wore a xs. so maybe she can chime in on how the fit was...?

I just ordered these sandals http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...00_s00_i00 from Amazon, because they were so cheap. Thanks to Swagbucks I got them for $16.04. I don't even know if I will wear them, but I'm reserving judgement until they arrive. If not for free returns, I probably wouldn't have taken a chance. Who knows? I may love them. Dontknow My DH liked them. If I decide to keep them, I'll need to buy a dress or skirt & top to wear with them. Teehee

I hope it ships too, but I'm not holding my breath. They already busted my bubble with the nude ruched lace dress that didn't ship.

I'll have to look back for Porda's review. I must have missed it somehow.

Thanks on behalf of my hubby. He's been through 22 years of training to get him this way. laugh out loud

Sequin Top Ponte Knit 2-in-1 Dress http://www.express.com/sequin-top.../index.pro. I typically wear a small top @ Express & size 2 bottoms. I ordered this in small. The top straps are a little long. It's also a little big under the arms. I think I can alter them, since they don't need to be taken in much. The skirt part of the dress has a tight, sexy fit. It looked good on me, even though I have a belly. I couldn't have worn an XS on the bottom. Keep

Metallic Ruched Dress http://www.express.com/metallic-r.../index.pro. I ordered a 4 in this dress. The color is really strange, but in a neat way. Depending on the lighting & background, it can look silver one minute then gold the next. I'd like to find some multi-tone (black, gold, & silver) shoes to wear with it. It's very flattering. I think the length is short enough to be sexy, but not too short to sit in for my 5' 1" frame. It would be pretty short on those of you who are tall. For me, this one will be for more dressy occasions. It's definitely not a casual dress. Keep

Belted Chiffon Ruched Dress http://www.express.com/belted-chi.../index.pro. This is a really pretty dress. It was actually my favorite of the 3. The top of this dress is prettier in person than in the picture. Unfortunately, it didn't fit me. I ordered a 4 in this dress also. My DH couldn't get it to zip in the chest area. If it had, it would have been very flattering up top. OMG The bottom of the dress fit. I doubt I could wear a bigger size on the bottom. That said, I probably would have given a 6 a try, if the bottom looked easier to care for. It looks more wrinkled than ruched. I don't know if they're all that way, or it was just the one I received. It looked liked it would need pressing, before each wear. That is enough for me to not bother trying a 6. It's a shame, because it really is a gorgeous dress. Those of you with a smaller chest should at least give it a try to see what you think. Return Frown

Circle Pendant Necklace in Hematite http://www.express.com/circle-pen.../index.pro. I ordered this with intentions of wearing it with the black & white print dress. It arrives with the chain & pendant separated. You have to put the pendant on, which means figuring out the chain configuration shown. As I've mentioned, I'm new to costume jewelry. This is a simple, elegant necklace. I like that it doesn't scream flashy fake. It's sturdy for the price. I also like that it will complement the dress, rather than be a focal point. I almost returned it, but my DH thought I should keep it. This really doesn't reflect on the necklace. It's just me trying to get used to costume jewelry. Keep

Abstract Scroll Hinge Bracelet in Hematite & Gold http://www.express.com/abstract-s.../index.pro. I ordered Hematite to match the necklace above & got Gold free with the promo. This is a feminine bracelet that's smaller than it appears in the picture. That's good for me, with small arms & small hands. It would be better, if it was tighter on me. I'd prefer it not fall on my hands. I doubt anyone could wear it on their upper arm. It's not nearly big enough for me to wear it there. As I said, I have fairly small arms. Personally, I prefer Hematite. I may have returned Gold, but it was free. They're fairly heavy, so neither of them look tacky cheap. Keep


I think that's it for this weekend's try-ons, other than some items I tried on again that I had bought earlier.

just got back from express. did a bunch of returns, but they convinced me to keep this hi-lo dress [express.com]. the guy was like, what?! WHY are you returning this?! and since i was a little hesitant i just kept it... *sigh* laugh out loud

foundthis [express.com] on clearance (black and white one) - strange as i thought the store clearance would be the same as the online clearance but this dress doesn't seem to be on clearance. it was marked 39.99 so after 40% off it was $24! i went ahead and used a $15 reward on it. score! it fit me very well in XS - very slimming and the halter was perfect and doesn't show any cleavage. it's a tad long for me - i'd have to hem it to wear flats, or else wear heels with it (i'm 5'6). i think as long as i have 2-3" heels i'll be ok with the length.

i tried on the boatneck dress [express.com] in a 0 and it fit me SO MUCH BETTER. it's so strange how the 2 and 4 both look like they could work, but the 0 works much better. it's actually slimming and makes me look good! (i felt like i looked a bit frumpy in the 2 and 4) i am going to return my 2 and 4 and see if i can exchange one for a 0. i'm not sure what color tho - i heart the green but the burgundy would be more work-appropriate and would go more with the fall season.

i tried on kurpee's sweater [express.com] and actually like the wild orchid the best. i think i am going to get it - it's a bright and fun color. the red was a bit darker in person than online, and the currant wasn't as dark - it was more burgundy than purple. XS fit me well like all the other similarly shaped sweaters.

i tried on the pleated surplice dress [express.com] in green/beige. porda wasn't kidding - the beige is SO UNFLATTERING! i tried on the XS and i think it is the right size for me, but man, does the beige skirt make me look like i have more rolls than i actually have! i took a pic in the dressing room - maybe i will post it here later. i had such a hard time getting this dress on tho, that i didn't bother trying the black one. i don't think i'd want to have to struggle with it each time i want to wear it (bc then i'd never actually wear it).

also tried on this colorblock dress [express.com] in the green. it's really cute! a tad short on me (i tried XS but i think the S may have worked also, for a looser look) but i love that the dress is a different color in front vs in back! it came to maybe 6" above my knee. possibly a bit higher.

also tried on stella barely bootcut in size 2R. I LOVE THEM! i am going to have to order some - they were soooooo comfy and just the perfect length for me (assuming it'd shrink a tiny bit after a wash). i liked the regular medium blue better than the extreme stretch. it was a tad loose in the 2R but not enough for me to size down (and just enough to make them super comfy). thanks all for continually recommending these jeans - i'm so glad i remembered to try them!
