New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Sometimes, really fitted things look awkward on me. I have a 25 inch waist but my hips are a lot bigger. Thus, with the dress, the waist was a little baggy if I got it to close at the hips, and if I pulled it to my waist, it pulled at my hips and just looked awkward. It was really pretty, though, and I love the zebra. It also was pretty low cut. I couldn't wear it to teach or anything unfortunately.

I bought the blue cold shoulder dress that is now on clearance with my reward over thanksgiving. That dress is fantastic. If you like the print, you should definitely consider that dress as well.

I tried the XS in the zebra if I remember correctly. I think I would have had the same problems even if I tried the S because my issues with it were in the design.
how did the shoulders/sleeves fit? maybe i will just order it without reward to try. i have a much smaller waist-to-hip ratio so it sounds like it could work for me. ppl said it runs small tho.

Yea, you may want a S just to be safe. It just wasn't for me.

The sleeves were a bit tight if I remember correctly. I had forgotten about that. I have really narrow shoulders, so the shoulders didn't bother me but they pretty much never do. I'm pretty narrow from my shoulders to my waist but definitely have hips and a butt so dresses like that aren't very flattering on me.

wonder if i should just spend my reward on those pointed hem sweaters. i ended up with only 1, in grey. it's so soft i think i wouldn't mind having a purple and turquoise. i have it in XS and it fits me fine, but i'm wondering if the S would be longer on me (i wanted one that would hit below the butt).

i can get 2 dresses and 2 sweaters.

That's a beautiful sweater. I never ended up getting that one. Maybe I also need the purple...

With my rewards, I've decided that when I see something online, I'm just going to but it and then return/rebuy it with my reward in store. That's definitely something I don't want to get burned on...

Anyone have a problem with their Express CC payment? I made a payment late Wednesday, then decided to pay the balance after 6pm yesterday. For both transactions, I received a confirmation email. The original payment didn't go through last night. It now says pending. The other payment doesn't show on the main page, but is there when I click on scheduled payments.

Someone blew up my mailbox this week. I haven't gotten any mail in awhile so no mailer. Boo! :ma d:
I didn't get an Express mailer either. Sadwalk

Sorry about your mailbox. Stuff like that happens when kids get bored & there's nothing more exciting to get into. It's always stupid, adrenaline enducing crimes that they receive no real benefit from. shake head

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
I thought the same thing! :l ol: She is crazy!!!


Boo! Sorry, I'm kind of new to the Express addiction :teeh ee: You girls are bad for me!
I thought they were bad for me too, until I got a whole new wardrobe for a great price. I've spent way too much there this year, but I had to start from nothing. If they'd sell bras, lingerie, women's socks & bring back yoga pants, I'd buy everything there. Teehee The only thing I can't buy there is shoes. They don't fit my short feet. Frown

i didn't like the sharkbite dress on me. i can see the potential though, i have actually ordered it 3 times laugh out loud i think it doesn't like my height.

$18 is the lowest i paid for it... maybe it will grow on me for $14.

eta: so i tried it on, asked dh for opinion, and he said it looks good.

Scratchchin hmmmm i have it in black that i think i got for $18. maybe i should use my reward on this! i def don't need more summer dresses but this reward is burning a large hole in my pocket!

i never tried the S bc the XS seemed to fit me fine without being tight anywhere. the only problem is it gets awfully short if i raise my arms.
Oh wise one.... What size would I need in the shark bite dress?

Probably XS would fit you better. S is a little big on me, and you're smaller than I am.

I don't know about that top, but I considered ordering it too. It was really pretty in purple, but that color went OOS. Frown You can return Express orders in store. They will process the credit for your account there. Their policy is must better than VS's.

XS. it fits me fine everywhere except length, so it should fit you perfectly!

not sure if this is a style that you'll like, but you may as well try it for this price!

alvs has this shirt and i think she liked it.

i have a similar shirt in a different color - the inner layer is super soft. i got it in XS which fits me well but is a little short.
