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!

jcp is a step above sears, but that's about it. it's not known to be trendy and it is known to be cheaper. little do ppl know they actually have some more trendy brands now (like mango which i heart but it's made for tall skinny curvy european chicks - sounds like an oxymoron but it's not).

Yawn back from the looong nap with the little guy.

i didn't know until today that jcpenney has a bad rep laugh out loud

it bothered me a little when i was wearing express but was asked if it was forever21 LMAO i guess i can make something "pricey" look cheap Rofl2
I don't know if it did everywhere, but here among relatively young people JCpenney was thought of as an old people store to the people I know. I never agreed. I think it's classic without being way overpriced.

Keep in mind most of my friends were black and what's cool to one group of people in one location can be very different in other places.

there is a lot at f21 that i actually like. the problem with them is, while their pricing continually goes up, their quality has not followed - theirs and h&m's stuff are truly disposable. (i've tossed things i had only worn once because they broke. Faint)

with our couponing i can get express stuff at f21 prices. much better deal since express has better quality.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
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.

we will be better this year!

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.
i feel like we frequent the same places. i'll bet i've seen you in passing before! laugh out loud

DH thinks i'm on sd too much. he gets jealous sometimes, when we're chatting or watching tv together and i take out my phone to see what y'all are up to. laugh out loud that's why i'm not on at night as much. he also has to remind me that sometimes i need to let a good deal go.

i'm not a fan of new years resolutions personally. i feel like i stick better to resolutions when i am ready to apply them, not when the calendar says i should. but to really end the return/rebuy phenomenon, i would need to stop shopping at express. due to their pricing strategies, there is always a better deal. it makes us work for it.

i tried the winter dream latte during that holiday special. i get chai lattes at sbux all the time (virtually every day) so i am sure i would like the CB version also. it's just so far from me - i hate having to drive. i missed the 50th anniversary thing bc i forgot about it and already went to sbux for my afternoon caffeine kick - i thought 3x a day would be too much. laugh out loud

Iagree I always thought sears < jcpenny < macys. I never paid much attentions to any other than when they had deals. JCPenny I shopped more lately because I had MC. But i didnt find anything much cheaper there OMG

I like forever 21 much better for spring and summer clothes. I like their sundresses and tanks! The one on Michigan Ave is pretty awesome. The stuff doesn't forever like it does at the local mall.

It looks nice. Especially for 70% off. How much do you need for free shipping?

I think forever 21 is expensive too (for what you get)!

fp deal on argan oil. what do yall think? is it a do or don't?

I've always had trouble finding my size at department stores unless it's in the junior section. That's the main reason I started shopping at ann taylor, exp, br (mall stores as I call them).

I have a $10 off $35 money card from AE that I had forgotten about. It expires today, if anyone wants it.

there's a new giant one in my mall that replaced the old one that was there. it took over what used to be a dept store. i have yet to venture in there as i'm scared. laugh out loud

it's cheap trendy stuff like h&m tho. i like it less now that i know i can get better quality stuff for similar prices if i just work a little.
