Thumbsup I did manage to, yes! She has a crazy ass cousin that showed up- complete with sleeve tatts and a drinking problem. She was pretty entertaining. The panty decorating thing went great and so did the questionnaires and whatnot. So it was definitely the best it could have been. It was so odd, while the organizer and I were plotting our revenge- the cousin and the future SIL were having a great time chatting with the bride. Why. Aren't. They. In. The. Wedding. bulb


Anyways..... you must be loving this weather??? It's even hot out by me- the resort is overrun with inlanders making a run for the water!
Hm...smitten with Bridezilla? I bet that will wane really quickly after married life. shake head That poor fool. If you ever get any updates, I will be really curious as to the outcome!!

Glad the entertainment went well Smilie Perhaps future SIL and cousin were just pretending to have a good time with her??

I am enjoying this weather, yes. Sometimes though, it can be a little too hot. haha, but it's been nice Smilie I still need to make it down to the beach! Surf

I have the scoop neck ruched knit dress in purple size XS. I didn't have my DH take it with the other returns in case one of you want it. Let me know. If not, I'm going to return it. It looked frumpy on me.

I'll try to write up some reviews later today.

ExpresS REVIEW

STELLA COLORED SATEEN LEGGING - JEWEL GREEN [express.com]

Really love the feel of these, so soft yet heavy enough that I can pretend they're just super stretchy jeans. The color is NOT as pictured, it's more like a Kelly Green and definitely suitable for a Christmas or St. Patty's day getup. I sized down on all of my leggings thanks to your rec's Kurpalicious, so thanks - 'cause that was definitely a good idea!


:nod : I know right?! I asked DH if they were able to have a chat with the groom during the bachelor weekend. He shook his head exasperated and said, "I don't know what to do, he's just smitten with her". :s adwalk: I hope they don't procreate right away. Give it time to crash and burn : scratch:
Thanks for the review. I must have missed the suggestion to size down. I haven't noticed a difference in the way the leggings I've ordered fit compared to the other jeans. Maybe, it just the particular leggings I've ordered fit the same. Dontknow What do you all find different about the sizing?

Hopefully, that guy has been dating her long enough to know what he's getting into. I wish them the best & hope they have a long, happy marriage.

many of the jeans i ordered in the $29.90 i'm not keeping due to inconsistency of sizing. i am generally a 2 in express, except for stella extreme stretch jegging where i get a 4, but i think i really needed a 2 on them also (at least on the old styles). recently i ordered what i thought i'd be, and many of them were big. i could've gotten a 0 in one i thought i'd be 2, and a 2 in one i thought i'd be 4. that is why i'm very lazy to order jeans now because of this.

i think porda was thinking of my lilac sateen legging that i had in 4 and i thought it was my size. turns out the 2 fit better.

Anyone tried the pleated strapless tube dress? http://www.express.com/pleated-st...pro#jsLink I really like the bright jade color.

So, it may be just the sateen leggings? I haven't tried those yet, but will keep the size difference in mind. So far, I've been a 2 in all Express bottoms, except the denim shorts. Dresses are a different story. I've been able to wear XS, S/ 4 & 6. I haven't tried a 2 yet. They need to be more consistent to cut down on returns. They've probably decided they save more on cheap labor than they lose on returns.

i've been very curious about that dress. i love the pleated skirt! someone about my height and weight said they loved it and fit the 2, so i will likely try the 2 if it ever goes on sale. the jade is pretty!

i was going to suggest you try a 2 in dresses. i'll bet you could wear 2 in the metallic ruched style dresses where they're stretchy. maybe i could send you my once-worn nude lace one. laugh out loud

I also have this dress on my wishlist. I've had it there for some time (in jade), and I've never seen it in stores. I was actually debating about purchasing it with the codes...

I would love that! I could trade you the purple scoop neck ruched knit dress in XS that I held onto, in case any of you wanted it, plus the difference in price.

That's the color I'm considering ordering. The model, with her slumped shoulders, doesn't make the jade & wild orchid dresses look as good as they could. The dress looks better on the other 2 models. I always wonder why they don't notice things like that, when they're selecting pictures to post on the site. VS posts some very unflattering pictures too.

I don't know how to pull up a pic of the dress. There isn't one on the site now. It's the SCOOP NECK RUCHED KNIT DRESS that either red or leftie loves. I can't remember which one reviewed it so highly. Embarrassment It's purple with black fabric at the waistline. Wait, I may have found a link to the style. http://www.express.com/catalog/pr...euser=true The color in the picture isn't the color I have.

nod Or some that are focused on the model's face, but not the bra. I just want to see the color of the bra and pattern, NOT only the model's face. So then I can't determine of the product I want to buy looks good enough.

My DH talked me into trying the pleated dress in wild orchid instead. I'll let you all know what I think about it & how the sizing runs, when it arrives. I also ordered the ruched skirt 2-in-1 dress http://www.express.com/ruched-ski.../index.pro with it.
