New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

I want the VS palm print beach towel, but I'm not paying that much for it.
Thanks.

That's pretty.
I want that towel too! But that IS an atrocious price. I think I will get it with my RC. You should get the Angel card. Makes shopping there much more worth it!
Quote from nerdicus :
ugh i forgot to pay my express card bill. now i have to call for same-day processing. Facepalm does anyone know how much that charge is? i figure it should be more than a late fee. annoying that you can't pay the bill in person tho (or... can you? i can't seem to figure this out). u can do that at vs.

i don't want to call at work from my cube, and my cell phone gets shoddy reception and isn't working in the hall right now. Facepalm serves me right. shake head
Aww. Sorry to hear. Yes you can pay instore. Hurry and pay tonight! I've seen people do it while I was checking out!

Oh . . . were you checking it out at our last rendesvouz? Eyelash
I admit my booty doesn't go boom-boom-pow in Express pants. I think if the pockets were placed lower (or if I tried the flap-back pockets), the effect would be dramatically improved and we'd all look like we had fantastic little rump-shakers. I should clarify, for suit pants, Express Editors are horrible on me. Too tight in the waist, roomy in the booty. Express Columnist, fit my butt/thighs perfectly in 0, pretty good in 2, but they start to lose shape and just hang. I never know what to do b/c in all practicality- these models put the pants on for photos and never eat, nor sit in them... but then I remember that pants always seem to feel too big months down the road and I'm not shrinking so... the seams must give a little with some wearing. For my waist, I'd love the 2. I could eat at the Las Vegas Paris Buffet and only be marginally uncomfortable. If I wore the size 0 to that, you better believe I'd stuff myself silly, but would have to ditch the pants and whip together a napkin skirt for our exit. EEK!


Great minds think alike High Five hahaa
Same here, the lowest I've gone in Jeans is Size 0 or 2 for a legging. 00 is totally off my radar. You never know. Some I literally can't zip up in a 2, but in a different style of legging, same size could be roomy. There's always hope and she's going in to make returns anyway, so nothing is lost, only knowledge gained
(Secret I would buy everything in 2's if it weren't for DH's insistence that everything fits better in a 0 shake head, ugh my poor intestines )
Yes- Jean Price Glitch of 2012 nod You returned most? I kept almost all! 2 still have tags on, awaiting their fate...
I have run into this with every single stretch skirt of theirs I have tried (bandage, ponte-knits, etc). IIRC you're my little-leg twin? In related news, I'm now looking at the stripe knit ponte in clearance Facepalm
You know it missy Wink I'm sure this will make our subsequent rendezvous awkward Stick Out Tongue
So I am right - sounds like Editors are no go for us. Maybe I'll try the columnist in the way future. But I want to switch over to Bebe pants eventually.

What can I say - it's my first time buying big girl jeans. I was eying some from Pacsun and if these don't end up working out I'll be returning them and probably consider Pac sun jeans. But I'm trying to move away from that. However my current errands jeans are from Charlotte Russe back in high school. EEK! I've not been able to find a good pair worth investing in since then. But it's time to move on since they are getting stretched out and making me look stumpy. I have such trouble finding flattering pants that don't make me look stumpy or dumpy. Jeans have alway been hard for me. Even harder are jeans to wear with flip flops.

All my jeans are from Charlotte Russe! They just fit better for me too! laugh out loud

Quote from nerdicus :
thanks hon. it is $15. Faint for that i will chance the late fee and see if i can try to call in and get it waived. if not, lesson learned - never leave my express acct alone for that long! (this is really bc i didn't do any returns last month... ) i am setting up autopayment from my bank as well, just in case... i thought express used to have an autopay option... could have sworn. oh well.
Is your bill high? Finance charges suck...

thanks azn. I made a payment in store. I had no idea! hopefully I won't have to deal with a late charge.
wolfie - I can handle the finance charge if they don't charge me a late fee! not very high. I paid most of it with cash.

Hope they aren't going to charge you. If they do, can you call them up and ask them to waive it since it's your first time? Some cc companies do that.

ok, so i tried on the editor pants, and the columnist. you're all right - these editors are now crappy fitting!

however, i swear i own editors that fit almost exactly like the columnist. are the columnist new? i wonder what happened...?! i'm gonna have to go and look at my old pants but i'm almost positive that they're called editors.

anyway, i'm glad porda brought this to my attention so i can stop looking at editor pants and start looking at columnist! and we must be the same size - the 2 is a bit loose but would be my size while the 0 is tight.

i tried on some clearance stella leggings in green in 2 and they were super unflattering. i also found a white cord pair in 4 and tried those - they were about 2 inches too large around the waist. Frown but tight around the legs. guess those are going back...

i also found that white/black one shoulder dress in my size (49.99 + 40%) but decided not to get it. i have nowhere to wear it to and that one had a makeup stain.

I went to Charlotte Russe this weekend the first time in 4 years and I totally do not feel like I belong! They don't have a wall of jeans anymore. They only had a sale rack for $15 jeans and I just couldn't bring myself to look through them. Too messy and all full of whiskering and fading shake head

Glad you got your bill paid. Hopefully they don't charge you anything additional.

I started buying Editors 4 years ago and stopped about 2 years ago because I looked dumpy. I swear these models have their booties sticking out. I was noticing the way they stand and it's just so unnatural, must be why it looks flattering on them.

I guess the Columnist are new? I don't know. I don't recall them being there when I was on my pants rampage. I haven't tried them on. Usually there are a bunch of Editors laying out Dontknow

i found the editors did change from when i was buying them like 5 years ago. i feel like they made them bigger and bigger. the columnist is what i liked when they first came out. but i stopped buying again when i noticed they're making them bigger also. i originally was buying them in 4s then all of a sudden the same size in 4s is too long and too big. i never got around to trying them in 2s because i realized i wasn't wearing my existing ones much anyway laugh out loud

the white cords do have big waist on me in 4 but the issue is the back which is my issue in most jeans anyway. and because my waist to hip ratio is close to 1 laugh out loud i find that pants tend to fall on me. i decided i had it and invested on isabelt and invisibelt (go them cheap from shoebuy with $20 off coupons). i tried on the 2 (in midnight but not in black) and it gives muffin top but works well on my legs. i'm keeping the 4 on both colors and would just wear them with the invisibelt.

Express Clearance is now 50% OFF! PA time Whee

New coupon 1021 $25 off $100, $50 off $200, $75 off $300 thru Monday.
ETA - I just saw the banner but now it's gone. Guess I'll wait to PA until tomorrow when the paint has dried and it's a "Perma-Deal" Coverlaugh


ETA2 - 50% is now showing in my cart...I'd grab any last things you wanted to "try" Wink2 This peplum [express.com] top just made it to clearance a day or so ago, but it's already $10 OMG If I didn't already have & love the hi-low tank version, I'd be all over it.
