New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

I needed that stuff out of my home. It was taking over my bedroom. I usually send what will fit in a large box. This time I filled 3 medium size boxes.

I have a great organizational system for my returns. In my experience, it is a toss up when/if VS will mess up a return.
So far this year I've been very lucky. They havent messed up too much. Just one or two things. They credited me the wrong amout on two bras.

What's your system?

Thanks

Quote from nerdicus :
i don't think peplum styles flatter our body type k. i haven't gotten any for this reason. i think they're cute, but my waist is just not small enough for peplum tops to be flattering. i feel like they're best for hourglass figures, which i definitely do not have.

tried on some stuff tonight after i opened my 7 packages from the weekend. i don't think i'm keeping anything from express except the ones that i already have (the sweater and the shark bite dress). i really do love that shark bite dress. it works a lot better for me than the elastic waist dresses they have.

the only elastic waist dress i thought was ok was the printed chiffon hi low dress [express.com]. probably because it's a bit longer in back so it doesn't feel so short on me. also tried the floral chiffon elastic waist dress [gstatic.com] and it was way too short on me.

i also tried on the lace 3/4 sleeve jacket.

i'm not sure about it yet. it's cute in a vintagey sort of way. i'm not sure i would have anywhere to wear it to, but i think it could look nice if paired with the right outfit. i'm just not sure how to style it.

got my cross back dress [victoriassecret.com] in the black and white print and i like it! i like the print and i guess i'm a tad thinner than when i tried on the turquoise one for you guys kuz it was actually a bit loose in the 4. i still wouldn't size down to a 2 but now i can wear my sticky bra and there will still be room.
Thanks for the reviews. I'm glad the shark bite dress is more flattering than the other elastic waist dresses. Mine should be here today. bounce

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Upside, I went to 2 Express' and 1 store will re-apply my $15 off Q :w oot: . I was finally able to get this suit: venetian teal herringbone [express.com] and lace print skirt [express.com] to pair it with. I already have the contrast blouse and dress shirt in that color. I'm so excited : ) Also got the same herringbone pants in dark raspberry. So nice to have matching sets! Time to retire my Target suit :n od:
Whee

Quote from kurips :
i tried the mint in the store. it's what made me order online. you're right about the black with lace being formal. i guess i got attracted to the lace.

and i think if i was as thin as when i just had the baby ( :cr azy: how my body works), i could have pulled a 2. delivering the baby (the 10 months i was pregnant) was the fastest way i lost 8 lbs :lo l: i want to have another :wh ee:

my size 4 headache-inducing diagonal banded skirt fits nicely now though. i tucked in a black cami, topped it with a white slub top [express.com], and compliments from dh the whole day! :o mg:
Congrats on the complements. It's always nice when our DH's show appreciation for what they have. Teehee

Do you ever have any meetings or faculty parties at school? I would wear that black dress to something like that.

Quote from kurips :
i want to keep a few so i told dh he should take me to dates so i can wear them. his response: but what would i wear?
That problem can be easily solved. Evillaugh

makes sense laugh out loud
i am met with this problem all the time. my DH gets upset when i dress up bc he's not dressed up.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Alvs, I tried the sweater dress from Express last night- the one with black on the sides, and pink ruched in the middle. So cute from the front, but the back... with no ruching, even my no-show knickers were showing... do you wear a slip with this one or do tights solve the problem? Girly

Where are the Hi-Lo fans? There's a new arrival for you! laugh out loud Hi-Lo Tank [express.com]
laugh out loud OMG Faint

Hi Everyone, I'm finally back, over jet lag, and back to being productive. My secret santa was ayoungpretender, and she got me an awesome gift.

My gift included:
VS fashionshow 2012 bag and brushes
VS sequin coin purse
VS fragrance sampler
Body Shop almond body butter
Body Shop almond hand and cuticle cream
2 VS trio eyeshadows.

Thanks so much, ayoungpretender.

I had so many packages between all of the express, VS, and bumble orders I made. It was like a second Christmas Smilie It's also great to be working from my own office and house, opposed to with the distraction of family and everything else going on.

Yesterday, I got price adjustments on my express clearance orders. Now, both my mom and I have the shark bite dress in every color, but for $12, why not. I also went to the VS store and got all of my SAS items price adjusted. Online, I had ordered two Cubs giftsets from online before the 20% code, and I got really lucky because they gave me by 20% back when I called.

I feel pretty productive...and like I got really lucky with all of the PA's. I ended up with pretty much everything I wanted from VS, except for the jingle teddy, which sold out right away in my stores. I really wish that I had gotten ahold of it.


Quick question: I ordered two sweaters with the free scarf promotion. I really don't like either sweater. If I return the sweaters, do I need to return the scarf? Will they charge me?

Thanks for the sweater info!

Also, I had the funniest thing happen yesterday. I went to my boxing gym, and there was a new member who was apparently out of water bottles. I know this because she brought a Rumchata bottle (presumably filled with water).

It would never occur to me to bring a liquor bottle filled with water to a gym, especially a glass one. Every time I think about this person, I laugh Smilie

I'm trying to decide which vip tier to join at my dr.
for $80 a month I can get a spa service (facial or peel), 20% off additional services, and 10% off products (includes injectible)
for $150 a month I can get a spa service or laser service, 40% off additional services, and 20% off products.

thoughts.

depends on how often you plan to go within the mo and the costs of the treatments/products
are you doing an ongoing subscription or will it be short? also depends on if you buy a lot of their products.
