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!

Not sure about the fabric.

That top is big too. Tried it long time ago in store. Are you remembering to add the accessory?
1 out of 3 laugh out loud.

I bet it won't work then. Boo.

Is there any you recommend? I normally just shop nordstom or nordstrom rack b&m and buy most online.

Shoe shopping is depressing when you can hardly find your size Frown.

Bebe has free shipping and 50% off select sale items.
size 4 is really tough. I'm glad you are able to find shoes at nordstrom n rack heart I'm not too familiar with shoe boutiques. I meant nordstrom is like your shoe boutique since you find goodies there Smilie

I've definitely noticed that some people associate being obnoxious with being yourself and being confident. I wouldn't mind it if it didn't also equal hurting someone's feelings.

I don't exactly have thick skin. I'm hurt when someone insults me and if it's someone I know and think a lot of it really bothers me but I learned to get over it.
me too. I tend to dwell on it when ppl are mean. N then I try to think of things I could have said in response. Wish I had porda's quick thinking!
Quote from azn1x6flame :
Wow! You really go everywhere! That's cool cause you can get the best bang for your buck!

Despite you not being a fan of Express and okay fan of VS, it's nice to see you come by, it must be because we're that awesome Wink

I, too, was not this crazy before this thread, but I look back at my old shopping ways and I'm disappointed that I spent SO MUCH money at VS for very little, so in my heart of hearts, I'm so glad to have found this thread heart


DBF got pissed at me when I was visiting him and just wanted to check SD real quick to see if there was an Express deal since I had just purchased something. I don't get it - it doesn't take long, and I'm trying to save money
.
you girls are awesome. Always sharing reviews, deals, recommendations, life in general -it's nice

I appreciate all the heads up n shopping tricks. Everyone wants more bang for their buck!

Your dbf wants every minute of your attention! heart

Picked up this express dress for 24.99 in store today. Did I over pay? Sad that all the dresses in this style were missing the belt Frown

ok ladies, need advise. I am applying for a job and it says to email or mail the application and resume. is it overkill to do both? Thoughts?
I think email should be ok since it's faster and they'd probably just print it out anyway.

Save a tree and good luck! woot

that's a good price. i think i have several of the belts. they use it for many of their dresses, it's very basic. it shouldn't be difficult to find belts that would work with it.

i wonder if you could have tried to ask additional discount for the absence of belt? i haven't tried it, just a thought.

after reading a couple of pages regarding shopping and new year's resolutions...

"hello, my name is ajollydork and I have a shopping problem..."

@So Cal SD girls: are you all planning a meet? I didn't get a chance to read all the pages, but some of you mentioned something...?

I frequent some of the places mentioned...perhaps seen some of you in passing.

Thx. I didn't think of asking since I wasn't positive a belt came with it. Every single other dress was missing it too so I thought maybe in the past they fashioned it with a belt as an add on accessory laugh out loud ill have to ask for a discount next time. Doesn't hurt to try Smilie hoping I can find this dress with belt at another express n then just return the one I got today.

I just finished watching Jiro Dreams of Sushi. DBF says that he went to one of Jiro's apprentice's restaurant in Seattle. I was drooling for sushi the entire time and wanted to go there until I saw that Jiro put wasabi between the fish and rice Sadwalk

They had it behind the counter. So I only saw the coloring. The green polka dots looked cute from a distance. The green is not as dark as shown in the pic. Just a Hint of brightness, but not neon like the pink

Ugh...I'm craving chirashi bowl at akasaka now that you've mentioned sushi! drool

A (chef) friend of mine recommend Jiro Dreams of Sushi to me and told me I would be totally love it. I was pretty skeptical considering that I don't eat sushi and wouldn't consider myself a foodie under any circumstances. After all, he's a chef making a food movie recommendation.

I was totally blown away by Jiro and his attention to detail. I couldn't take my eyes off of that movie. It was so well done and so captivating. What am interesting person!

Quote from GoHeels :
My DH did good. bounce Since they didn't have a 4 in that dress, he had to choose between a 2 & 6. The 2 fits. I'd like to try a 4 also, but I doubt they'll get one in now. The top in the 2 is very form fitting. It's really snug around my arms, which I don't like. I may try to have it altered. The skirt part has plenty of room, so a 4 probably wouldn't have fit as well from the waist down. The 6 would definitely be out.
...
Whee yay! good job GH's DH!
Quote from kurips :
aw, sorry it didn't work for you. i am actually being more picky on banded bottom tops now i give them my arms-straight-way-up test. this passed iirc that's why i kept it and rec'd it.
...
right now i have the hibiscus in that sleeveless top, the long sleeved top, the surplice 2-in-1 dress. i ordered the elastic waist dress in s (already didn't like the xs in the store), but didn't like it. i have the surplice elastic waist on order Teehee but i'm expecting not to like it, i just need to try and see to be sure.
i can see why you like that top. for $7.50 i may reconsider, i guess. but i just prefer my tops to be a tad longer. midriff is not something i like to show.

you must really like the hibiscus print. Teehee

I notice something else I want on express every time i look Facepalm.

I did just get my pa Whee.! Got the dreaded phone call over with.
..
i sat there for about 30 minutes today trying to figure out if i wanted to call for PA. laugh out loud i finally tried on the cord leggings that i got and i thought that i liked them. however, DH convinced me to return them, bc i do need a belt for the waist (when i sat down without a belt it showed crack, which i hate). i don't love the tight fit anyway but they would be tight in the winter. oh well.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
is it the static fabric. we'll see how i like it. i don't do well with hi/low either.

http://www.express.com/cross-back.../index.pro

i also got this. didn't notice it earlier.
that $10 hi low dress looks like that staticky fabric. i think it probably is.

the peasant blouse looks cute!

Yawn Me too. Late-night shopping is ripe for mistakes. I need to impose an online shopping curfew.
Quote from wolfiegirl :
I think certain Stores have better quality things. The one in ny had all these fashionable nice styles. I was like wtf , its nothing like my jcp. For the price, jcp isn't bad. Much more affordable than some other ridiculous dept stores.
I think so too. sometimes tho, i admire the thick skin some people have-not letting others affect their behavior.
Yeah, JCP is similar to Macy's in some parts of US. Heck, some Macy's are garbage save for a few labels, while others are amazing. Crazy how much stores differ in what they offer and how people see them, thinking they can make value judgements about ppl that shop at those stores shake head

Hm...closer to your money pit than to us Sadwalk Let's try to convince her to come out this way! I don't think I'm doing a good job. I want to do the same as well!! I tried using Disneyland as a reason.....HELP ME porda!
I'll see what I can do... it's way out there.

laugh out loud She probably would have beat me up if I had said that. I stopped telling people where I bought my clothes though. I became one of those girls who pretends I don't remember unless I know the person genuinely wants to know.

Comfort Don't let that change the way you operate! I tell people where I bought things and if I got a great deal on it (and I know they would appreciate it - few people wouldn't), how much I paid for it. After a negative response (nothing like yours EEK!), I try to always be prepared with a fun retort. Sometimes all I can muster up is a contorted face that amply shows my displeasure laugh out loud

Only you could come up with something so witty on the spot! That would've been classic if it was said in that situation.
laugh out loud Truth is, what she said would have taken the wind out of me and that reply would have come a minute too late. Timing is everything and sometimes I forget to bring words to the word fight. Ninja

. . . There are cruises from San Pedro & San Diego that we're looking at. There's also one from San Francisco, but that's too far from you all. If we can get a comparable cruise for a comparable price, I'll try to book one of the cruises from southern CA.
San Pedro is super duper close to me! Make it happen - there's supposed to be good food in dt Long Beach, There's Trump or Terranea (golf resorts with great food and views about 20 min North). Also, your DH is fantastic about doing your returns. OMG I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but really - wow, what dedication!
