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 had the same thought. I have SO many returns. I really don't want to go this far negative...

Maybe I still have time tonight...SO many returns and buy backs to do...
i'm scared to try it. my store is not very nice and likes to make up rules... so there's a good chance they won't let me return rebuy. i may try it tonight!

Thanks for the HU. I want another portofino shirt. Their colors are so cute. Can the coupons be combined with the mailers?

I've never had an issue at any of my expresses. People are pretty understanding if you just say, "by the time I got this in the mail, it had already gone down in price."

Then just pretend that the idea to use the reward just came to you. I hope you don't have any issues.

I ordered a TON of stuff when I was away, and holy cow do I have a lot of returns to make...

Also, I bought this dress, and it just arrived today. I'm totally shocked by how much I love it. The XS hits me in all the right places. The belt is not too big on my waist (like express and limited belts usually are), and the top is low enough to give me a lot of cleavage, and the skirt totally hugs my but. I really regret not trying this style of dress on sooner because I love it so much. I'm surprised it isn't sold out yet because it's amazing. I'll probably wear it to Easter by DBF, I think...or to dinner in the spring.

Urban's has this dress [urbanoutfitters.com] on sale for 9.99. Personally, i haven't tried it since I never look good with pleated dresses but it's only 9.99. Maybe you ladies may be interested.
Thanks!

The shark bite dress didn't look good on me. Frown I think my torso is too short for dresses like that. I look really dumpy. It didn't help that I bought the wrong size. I needed an XS instead of a S. DH shook his head, when he saw it. I was standing there talking to him about something else, & he said, "take that off." He didn't even want to look at me in it. laugh out loud

Thanks, I'll check the site now. Whee

Quote from nerdicus :
have you tried VS denim? they cost a little more but there are a lot more styles that you would probably like. just a thought. they tend to be thicker also.

i agree about express bottoms being more or less consistent in size. in general i'm a 2. i've only strayed a few times. sometimes their skirts run large (and it sounds like their shorts do too) and sometimes jeans will be large in the waist.

their tops/jackets are annoying bc i'm right in between sizes. dresses are inconsistent also.
I haven't tried VS jeans yet. I'm so frugal (*cough* cheap) that it kills me to pay their prices, when I can get jeans from Express so much cheaper. If I ever see a great deal, I'll try them. They do seem to have more high cut options, which I really prefer.

Where does The Coffee Bean ship from? I still don't have any tracking info on my order. I feel like I'm waiting for drugs to get my fix. I really want that red velvet powder. laugh out loud My DS strongly hinted to his GF that I ordered her some, so she'll be disappointed, if I never get it too. I'll have to keep what I order to myself from now on, so he can't ruin the surprise. Annoyed

Thanks for the review. kurpee looked really good in that too. If I didn't have so many dresses, I would have already ordered it. I may anyway.

There are codes for discount that works except clearance ( items ending in .99) or specials (mostly items ending in xx.00 )

5024- $15 off $30
5025- $30 off $70
5026- $45 off $100

The site has glitch sometimes. A week back or so I was able to use 30% off on top of clearance price on my order. this jacket [nyandcompany.com] was priced for 29.99 and I got 30% discount of on top of it.
I got it in military green ,even DH liked it. It is THAT good laugh out loud If you like it in white I would highly recommend it. The hood is detachable and so is the fur part from hood.

kurpee liked that dress too and told me to buy it, so i did. it hasn't shipped yet. she said it works better than the other ones that look similar - the other ones were loose on top and tight on the bottom (i would have needed XS up top and S on the bottom).

my order from coffee bean shipped from socal, which is why i got it so fast. hope yours checks in somewhere soon!

i think you'll like VS jeans better. they're thicker and feel like better quality to me. too bad they don't really go very low in clearance - years back you could find them for 29.99 and sometimes even 19.99, but i haven't seen that recently. still, bc of the generous return policy and all the rewards and credits from vs i don't mind paying more for them. if they don't work i just send them back.
