RETIRED The Official Good Girls Thread

O~! Good to know! Maybe a 0 for me this time since it's not tight through the hips. DBF does not like the white one Looks like it could be a cute spring dress to me!

Hm...side boob no good. Maybe S for you then or XS for going out. I want to try peplum tops now...

I might have to remind you to walk in backwards.

Got an email about free shipping and returns on swim . . .

XS will almost always look more flattering. i'm kinda regretting getting a dress in 0 instead of 2 bc the photos of the 0 looked more flattering. i've never worn it, bc obviously a 2 would be more comfortable.

go with what you're comfortable with. photos do not tell all.

Kurpee, these stores have return policies for a reason. You are not the only one returning merc. Of course I am not telling you what to do, but I feel like the manager is using a tactic on you to induce pity. I have seen it before...I have used it on guys before. It is very effective. As a professional (hahaha), I'd say don't fall for it. You are not doing anything wrong. It's your money. You should feel good about how you spend it, especially when clothing shopping.

my email about exp reward is in. very huge! i'm not going to tell because it's embarrassing. since i'll be using this reward first, and returning bunches of stuff, and trying not to shop much, i don't know how i'd make up for the neg i'm about to get!

i may go and get a target debit card. already told dh about it. he's ok with it.


thanks icey! you encouraged me to haul my big box o' returns to the store. i'll need an appliance dolly

I'm a little rusty... My mom wants me to drop off a return for her when I go to the mall... She bought something with a $30 angel reward. If I return to store (they will mail it in since it was an online order)... Is she gonna lose her $30 or will they refund on GC? Sorry if I'm beig confusing. It was a $70ish dress so the receipt shows $45 total purchase price after $30 angel reward.

i just noticed the lace on my peplum dress is snagged, it now has a hole : ( i can reorder at the current price and return the snagged one with the new invoice, but i'm thinking that maybe it's not meant to be. i don't like delicate clothing, plus i am not sure if i'm really going to be able to wear it. i do like that it does something different to me because i look curvier in it.

the non-lace ones are cheaper and more wearable, but i got my lace for $28 :cry ing:

I will let you know about the bag once I get it. I hope it's still reversible! I only said that because I see a snap button. Might be weird if it's seen on the outside.

I like the 21 + to dine places. The one at Seattle is just like that. Seating is still like stadium seating, but just separated more for them to come up and serve. :n od: Those are neat theatres!

Let me know about the movies and how you like them once you get around to watching them!

there are things in the new arrivals :shut up:

:l ol: My mom is this way - I remember several times her being offended by that. Not a lot of Eastern cultures in the small WI town she grew up in. She didn't understand a lot of my friends from HS.

I wanted to tell you I wore the dark purple pants yesterday the way Nerdi mentioned them- with a neutral "nude" colored top and nude heels. My MIL had these pants at Thanksgiving and after I saw how she wore them, I loved it. Try a pair! I'm looking at 1 pair of pastels for spring/summer too.

Here's a photo of the cheap peplum in XS Attachment 1734318 and S Attachment 1734328

You are looking hot in the XS. S makes you look a size larger than you really are and hiding extra bulk you don't have.

I love this dress [express.com]. I can't wait for it to go on sale.

And this? [express.com]

this [express.com] could be a good idea... it doubles as a cape for halloween! :ro fl:

i see some tops that i like. :facepal m: as if i didn't already have enough tops...

:n od: True. I'm learning to be more comfortable in things that are body-conscious. Heck, today I changed 3x b/c I had to take my car in and didn't want to attract too much attention (I would never wear that booby-peplum there, not in either size). I'm fine when I'm with DH, but by myself... another story. I'm comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt! :paperb ag:

You've got to tell us krusty!

. . .
I grew up in an area with no Asians at all. (BTW, if that term offends any of you, let me know. I don't know what else to use.) I love learning about the culture from the girls here. Actually, we had very little diversity, which is typical in small towns. I enjoy learning about everyone's culture.

Your outfit sounds nice. Which pants are you buying for Spring?
. . .
. . .
I'm the same way. I put on one of the Express rolled sleeve slub tees to wear to the doctor, but decided it wasn't appropriate. I ended up wearing a top that didn't show any cleavage.
. . .

you guys are still misbehaving??

. . .
It's amazing to be surrounded by a diverse crowd in your formative years. We all joked around and were self-deprecating about our cultures/stereotypes. That helped me learn a lot about what others viewed in their own culture as their strengths and vulnerabilities. Family interactions/expectations were so interesting too! I kind of feel like my friends got the short end of the learning stick- the only knowledge gleaned from my contribution was that Jerry Springer/soap opera families do exist
...
Pants - don't know yet. Already have a white pair. Maybe pastel mint or the brighter coral. I could also just go ivory - not very daring, but it's different from jeans so it is daring for me! I've been looking at J's Everyday Fashions and she wears bright pants alot. Sometimes to play them down, she just wears an even brighter top - but I don't know if that's our style . .. . .
I think it got worse for me since I haven't been working out . I'm not confident that I could fend something off and I have yet to replace my pepper spray I try to explain this to DH, but I don't know how to convey the feelings without reverting to some kind of prison analogy about dropping the soap in the shower and opening yourself up for an attack.


Not really, no. This was well controlled and nipped at 3 posts deep. I think the admonishment was obligatory. What kind of shopping have you been up to? Is your baby girl's closet loaded up with the latest in infant fashion?
