New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

i got the turquoise and purple from clearance and got the charcoal grey during CM. i've washed the grey and it came out perfect - no pilling and still soft. it's just a tad short in back on me (XS), and the arms could be longer, which is why i got the others in S (and i'm glad i did). i hung it to dry bc i didn't think it could handle any shrinkage since it was already small.

haven't washed/worn the purple and blue yet but they will be great in the spring. Smilie
Thank you! That's good to know! I was suprised they threw this into clearance, but happy. Too bad I didn't see it soon enough because I could've return/rebuy the purple I had.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
thx. this year im really going to try and be good and reduce my shopping too-esp mall trips. DBF goes with me and he is so patient. but he is tired of it too.he pointed out that we're not even buying anything. It's all RETURNS!..i'm glad he pointed it out so i can reflect on it. I told him to help me with my resolutions and he said i should put a # on it.. like hrs, or days per year I can shop laugh out loud or even a $ value "less" is not good enough for him. Well...he is a #s guy. Hide
I really like your plan. DBF has told me that all I'm doing is returning at the mall as well. I hardly shop shop. I've kind of waved him off and acknowledged it because it IS true. I feel like a bad GF. I've imposed a dollar value on myself and stuck to it for the better part of last year, but I need to for this year. It all went away during the holidays with the SRCs and getting the sweater dresses that I heart But I think I need to impose a time value. I spend a lot of time obsessing and checking my wishlist to make sure things don't go OOS. That takes up quite a bit of brain space so I need to work on that for sure. Especially since I'm trying to declutter overall nod thanks for helping me too Smilie

So true! But if I buy something at the mall, I'm like there could be a better coupon and I'm not getting any cash back. It's official! I'm driving myself bonkers.
nod sometimes i do buy things in stores - usually stuff that's harder to find online. or when i'm at sephora and have store credit. once in a blue moon i'll buy something just bc i need it, but i tend to regret those purchases. laugh out loud i drive myself crazy also.

Speaking of Sephora, I wonder when they will update with the new Naked Flush and Ammo palette. Need to spend my store credit before my 10% off VIB expires!

I tried the similar one in print. It needs a belt for any kind of definition so I recommend taking one into the dressing room with you.
Thanksss for the tip. Unfortunately I didn't get it. XS was big on me and it wasn't in the color i wanted.

I didn't get to use my reward wisely lol i felt bad leaving the store without buying anything so I bought a clearance sweater with my reward.

I heard rewards have been posted today for some of you ladies. You ladies are too chatty today. I can't catch up. They kept adding returns to my account that weren't mine so I couldn't even reach enough points to get my reward this month Frown Happy shopping if you got your rewards today

I have no style:hid e::cove rlaf: , so i hope you guys all know how appreciative I am of all your help with the reviews and advice. :h ug:
bit tardy to party but i buy anything that's on super duper deal laugh out loud lately I think I have controlled myself to not buy much though Stick Out Tongue My clothings are still mostly VS, Ny&Co and recent addition Express.Idk if I should be happy or sad about this fact laugh out loud

My only expensive dress was the the one I bought on new year eve from jcpenny. I rarely shopped there before but I had jcp MC from the returns in sephora inside JCpenny my dress was free after MC . For me, the best part about getting compliment is knowing inside your mind you paid very less to look like this LMAO

I think if we share closet and execute alvs's idea -
A) it could be great fun and we would need a GIANT walk in closet Coverlaugh
B) it would be filled with awesome clothing , accessories and shoes = great choice for all
C) not to mention we would have paid very less altogether for that world's best closet collection starting from hangers to UGGs LMAO
D) VS, Express and many other stores will go broke laugh out loud

Yup Yup. I called them 5 times already for like 20 returns. Their CS staffs are really nice but I am tired of calling. I was expecting a reward but somehow returns managed to sneak in last night and I missed out on getting my reward this month.

i feel like i mostly do returns at the mall too. buy the time i'm done i'm over the mall and ready to leave laugh out loud.

it would be nice to feel like shopping more often!
Quote from nerdicus :
laugh out loud this is why i rarely bring DH. i feel confined by his judgment, even though he never says anything when we're there.

every so often he'll mutter a "I don't get why you do this" about my buying and returning, but for the most part I think he is grateful that I know how to exercise my right to return and get my hard earned money back. after all is said and done i don't spend THAT much.

i notice you are always everywhere! i rarely go farther than 5 miles to make a mall return trip. if i am, i have to have another reason to drive that "far". i often feel it's not worth my time and gas even though my gas mileage isn't bad (i get anywhere between 25 and 30 tho with all the local i drive it's closer to 25 nowadays).

thanks again for the coffee bean tip btw! i just placed another order on their site - the red velvet is oos, but there's a winter dream latte set that's 1/2 off and i've been meaning to get one of their vanilla powders again for those times i feel like having sweet coffee. free shipping code: shiptoday. yes, it's not a great deal but i like the winter dream tea also, and that container still goes for 8.45 so i figure it's a deal!


me too! i head into the mall with a lot of heavy bags and leave empty-handed! laugh out loud we are all very backwards.
its true. i go to a lot of malls.. DBF and I are very inseparable. He actually encourages me to shop because it makes me happy. It didn't even frustrate him until this December. When he tells me point blank he's tired of it, then it must've been bad. I think one week we went to Glendale galleria 2x, Arcadia 2x... even I was tired of it.

DBF's family is mainly in Arcadia. We meet friends there + Alhambra/SGV. I live in the heart of LA and DBF is a music fanatic who loves going to hollywood.. and i am close to ALL the freeways so there are so many opportunities to go shop at so many places. Also VS and Express are withing walking distance so I can literally go there every day during my lunch break! laugh out loud luckily, i'm not a fan of Express and as for VS... i only go there for my freebies or a must have gwp.. or the SAS.

DBF thinks you girls are a bad influence. I was never this crazy before I joined this thread
Once I'm done with all my returns/rebuys, I will be good starting Feb.

My friends were talking about NY Resolutions and to really stick to something, it might help to write it down on a list and post it somewhere to remind you. Also helps if someone keeps you in check Wink

laugh out loud i hear you. i go back and forth like this too. i can stand in a store calculating and calculating and contemplating if it will be a better deal later...or i forgo it and it goes oos and then i get nonbuyers remorse... i think so long that the next thing you know an hr has passed.

I like Winter Dream latte too. i recently tried their Chai Tea latte during the 50th anniversary.. its super good too. give it a try sometime. its very subtle and not so sweet. even my oldschool parents loved it.
